CHALICE

The traditional glass for Belgian ales, the chalice is a stemmed bowl often decorated with a brewery’s name or a fancy gold rim. Beers with high alcohol levels are meant to be sipped not chugged, and the chalice (or its sibling, the goblet) is sometimes etched inside to encourage CO2 bubbles to form, rise up and perpetuate the head.
