Which glasses to use (REVIEW)
In Hubble and Meteor, there are multiple glasses. There are many drinks to be served in certain glasses. on this page, we would like to teach you what glasses we have and what drink you should pour in these glasses but also the attention points when serving these glasses..

Be aware of the stripes on the glass
The stripes on the glasses indicate the correct level to pour the beer, this is called the pour line. A perfectly poured beer reaches up to this line.
The pour line can vary between different glasses. For example, the Le Fort and Ipra glasses have relatively low pour lines. When learning to pour beer, you are often taught that the ideal amount of beer reaches this line.
See the example in the picture on the left: A Brewdog IPA poured in a Le Fort glass, with the beer reaching the pour line and the remaining space filled with foam. With these glasses, it is also acceptable to have slightly less foam than shown in the picture. |
Allergy glasses
Something really important when serving drinks to people with a gluten or lactose allergy.
Gluten allergy
Guests with a gluten allergy must not receive drinks in glasses that were washed in the bar sink. That sink contains gluten residue because many beer glasses are rinsed there.
Guests with a gluten allergy may only receive glasses that have come directly from the dishwasher..
Lactose allergy
Glasses that have contained milk or any lactose product must not be washed in the bar sink nor in the bar dishwasher. These glasses must be sent to the back.

At Hubble: kitchen staff will put these glasses through the kitchen dishwasher the next day.

Serving an empty glass
Not all beers are draft. Some are bottled or canned and are stored in the fridge. We still provide a glass for all bottled and canned beers (see below which glass matches which beer).
When serving the glass, always place it upright, never upside down. Bar mats are not clean, and if the rim of the glass touches the bar mat it becomes unhygienic. This is the same rim the guest will drink from.
