Does beer taste better if served in a glass with the matching logo on it?
An example may help – you walk into a pub and order a pint of Guinness. Does it taste better out of an official Guinness glass as it would from any other glass?
This will obviously need lots of tests to be performed.

Actually, beer is best drank out of a ceramic mug. It will enhance the aroma and taste of the beer.

ActuallY! Yes – The glasses are designed in different shapes to maintain the taste and fizz! E.g. Stella glasses

Only if you work in marketing.

there’s only one way to know. you’ll have to try every beer on earth that has a specific glass associated with it. then try that same beer in a generic glass. this shouldn’t be too taxing of a project…might take 15 years of solid drinking…if you need a second, i’m available.

I find that stella tastes much nicer in a stella glass, it just finishes off the true stella experience for me, So I assume its pretty much the same with other cool refreshing beverages

My regular tipple, Fosters, was once served to me in a glass supplied by the brewer and in which bar staff were expected to serve the product. This glass was tall and slim and the smaller surface area tended to retain the “fizz” rather more. Logo or not, the beer was very bloating and I had to switch to another brand for the night.

Yes, for the same reason that cheap wine always tastes better on holiday and your car goes better when you’ve washed it…

These are the mind games played by bars, clubs, pubs, restaurants, breweries, and marketing the world over. It’s called a placebo…….
