At Emmett's Ale House, we're proud of the diversity and character of the different beers we brew. As such, we recommend the following guidelines for obtaining the maximum sensory pleasure from our handcrafted beer:


Like wine, different shapes and types of glassware can enhance your overall drinking pleasure. We start with clean pint glasses at room temperature. Even faint traces of soap or other rinsing agents can ruin the delicate head on beer.


Although a "frosty mug" sounds refreshing, beer served in frozen glassware losses much of its flavor and character. The colder the beer, the less flavor your palate is able to perceive. As a general rule of thumb, the darker the beer - the warmer the serving temperature. As your palate for fuller flavored beer develops, so will your acceptance of warmer temperature.


At Emmett's we have a saying: "An honest pint, guaranteed." That means 16 oz. of your favorite beer will arrive in a 20 oz. glass. Why? Because a properly poured pint should have at least a one inch head. By serving our beers in 20 oz. glasses, you're assured a true 16 oz. pint with the proper head.
