Prosit!

Beer is easy. No corks. No uneven vintages.

The protocol is simple. Don’t let the waiter pour. Never drink from the bottle in front of your mother. Otherwise, have fun. Toast to your ex. Disparage your boss. And start drinking only from authentic “everyday” European beer glasses.

These are the same glasses that are used daily in Munich, Innsbruck, Silt, and Berlin. Provided by Austrian, German, and French breweries. Beer won’t travel but the glasses will.
