It goes without saying that the best way to enjoy beer is from a glass. But have you ever stopped to consider that your beer glass could be as important as the beer it contains? At Hop Union Brewery, we strive to make sure every step of the beer drinking experience is up to the highest standards, which is why we designed our branded beer glass to be as functional and stylish as it is.
Whether you are considering the glass as a gift for yourself, or creating a beer glass gift set for someone else, the Hop Union branded glass is the perfect beer glass. It allows you to pour the perfect pint, captures more aroma, and maintains the beer’s effervescence while you are enjoying every sip.
The Importance of the Right Beer Glass
Hop Union beer enthusiasts will know that a beer glass can transform a beer’s flavour, aroma, and visual appeal. It’s for this reason that we have designed the branded Hop Union beer glass to enhance each of these elements and bring out the best in our beers.
To start, this glass is nucleated. The nucleated base means it has hundreds of etched lines at the bottom of the glass that allow CO2 to escape at a controlled rate, creating a long-lasting stream of tiny bubbles that help retain head. A glass with good carbonation also releases more of a beer’s aromatics, which are of course especially pleasing in a HUB beer.
The result is a beer glass that is practical and functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. The glass features Hop Union branding and a sleek, modern design that will complement your home bar.
The Ideal Beer Glass and Bag in Box Beer Pairing
To get the most out of your Hop Union branded beer glass, we recommend pairing it with one of our bag in box beers. These beers are a great choice for parties, home bars, and for everyday consumption, but pour the beer into our branded glass and you have the best of both worlds.
Why? Because bag in box beers have a number of advantages over traditional bottles or kegs, including:
Extended Freshness: Bag in box beers stay fresher, longer. The airtight bag inside the box protects the beer from oxygen and other spoilage factors, so your beer will stay fresher for weeks after opening.
Ease of Dispensing: Tapping a bag in box beer is incredibly easy, too. You don’t need a hand pump, CO2, or other fancy setup. You simply attach the tap and start pouring.
Affordability: Bag in box beers offer great value for money. At Hop Union Brewery, you can purchase one box with the equivalent of up to 20 pints inside (with a 10L box). It’s an affordable choice for a crowd or a full home bar.
Serve your favourite HUB beer in the branded glass, and you have the perfect combination. The nucleated base will help retain the beer’s head from pour to pour, so every glass you drink feels like it’s been freshly pulled at the brewery.
The Hop Union branded beer glass and bag in box beer pairing is also a great gift idea. Buying as a beer glass gift set, a bag in box beer with our branded beer glass is a thoughtful gift that’s sure to bring joy to the recipient.
Beer Glass Gifts: The Perfect Gift for the Beer Lover
Finding a gift for the beer lover in your life? Struggling to know what to buy? Consider a beer glass gift set and you have a winner.
Beer glasses are one of the most universally loved gifts that you can give because:
- Beer Drinkers Love Them: They’re useful to everyone who drinks beer.
- They are Reusable: In contrast to a one-time-use bottle, a branded glass can be reused over and over again.
- They Are Memorable: Every time that glass is used, the recipient will remember where it came from and why they have it.
Add one of our bag in box beers, and you’ve created a unique beer and glass gift set that is ready to be used as soon as it arrives.
Hop Union Ale Glass Gift Sets for Any Occasion
Ideal as a birthday, Father’s Day, thank you present, or even just a treat for yourself, a Hop Union ale glass gift is a great way to experience the best of our beers. But this branded glass is versatile and pairs beautifully with a number of our beers, including our canned beers, too.
Alpha Centauri - Galaxy IPA (4.36%)
A hop-forward Galaxy IPA with lots of citrus and tropical fruit character. Pouring into the branded glass helps to retain the beer’s head, so each sip is aromatic and refreshing.
Bloody Nora - Blood Orange IPA (4.7%)
A bright beer with real blood orange character. Pouring this into our branded beer glass enhances the beer’s appearance and allows its aroma to shine.
Moose River - American Pale Ale (5.0%)
Hop Union’s Moose River is the perfect balance between hops and malt, and pours brilliantly in the branded glass. The clear, consistent pour showcases its amber colour and inviting aroma.
Scallywag - Premium Bitter (4.8%)
For a maltier, more traditional British beer, try our Scallywag. The nucleated base will keep the head smooth, from the first to the last pint.
Saint Arnold - Belgian IPA (4.5%)
This one is for the more adventurous drinker. A Belgian IPA with more complex yeast and spice notes that are subtle, that really blossom in the glass.
Bag in box or can, whenever you pour a HUB beer into the branded glass, it truly helps make the most of the beer inside.
Beer Glasses are an Investment
Buying a branded beer glass is a way of investing in the future. The recipient of a beer glass gift or a beer and glass gift set will feel more connected to the brewery every time they use the glass. In the same way that a branded mug creates a bond between coffee lover and roasters, so too does a branded glass.
Beer glass gifts are a great way to start a conversation about the beer you are serving. Guests can see that it’s from your favourite brewery, and this is an opportunity to share that love. It’s also a great introduction to a brewery they might not be familiar with.
When using in a bar or business, using branded beer glasses is a way of creating a consistent experience and a professional image.
