The Abbey of the Most Holy Trinity acquired the window, which is 9 feet wide by 21 feet tall, in 1960. It was installed behind the altar after a strong east wind shattered the original plain glass window.
According to Trappist Fathers David Altman and Patrick Boyle, who lived at the monastery, the plain glass window lacked a support or framework, so one day in 1953, the wind blew the window onto the church floor. A priest who was celebrating Mass at the time was protected from the flying glass by a statue, which received several lacerations, but the priest was unharmed.
The monks boarded up the window. It remained that way until 1960, when the abbot decided to replace it. The monastery contracted with George Merrill & Associates of Los Angeles to design and build a stained glass window. The image of Our Lady of Prompt Succor was the result.
When the monastery closed in 2017, the property was acquired by Bill White, who expressed concern that the window could be vandalized, Fr. Patrick said. White donated the window to the parish. First, however, it underwent about 200 hours of cleaning and restoration at the hands of Jenkyn Powell, a stained glass artist with more than 50 years experience.
A German wheat beer arrives in a tall glass that curves from wide mouth to narrow base. A Czech Pilsner arrives in a stretched funnel with a small foot. A Trappist beer arrives in a chunky chalice: a glass bowl perched on a stout stem. And that's just the beginning. How many different beer glass shapes are there?
Lots. And some come with dubious stories. Did a 17th century innkeeper invent the kwak glass, which looks like a bicycle horn standing on its bulb, for carriage drivers to hang by their seats? Did an unnamed Persian general inspire the boot glass when he vowed to drink from his shoe if his troops won?
Historians can sometimes piece together the evolution of a glass through time, but often they just guess. On one point, however, they agree: Beer glasses took off when commercial glassmaking met lagers in the late 1800s - the clear brews sparkled in the see-through containers.
It didn't take long after that for breweries to realize that they could put their names on the glasses and give them to bars that served their beers. The bar got glasses for free; the brewers got advertising. Industrial techniques let brewers place their names on custom-designed glassware, a process called cresting.
The Belgians took to signature glasses with zeal - each of the country's 450 beers seems to have its own glass, ranging from a simple logo to a custom-designed vessel such as the large Duvel glass, a thistle glass with a narrow neck and voluptuous bowl that not only sports the company's Germanic logo but also a small stylized D etched on the inside.
Breweries in other countries have followed suit: Sierra Nevada comes in a crested shaker pint glass, and König Ludwig, a Bavarian beer, comes in a custom-designed glass that looks like a cylinder pinched at the waist.
There's a camp that appreciates the aesthetics of signature glasses while advising against a one-size-fits-one hodgepodge of glassware. Beer forums teem with posters saying that the glass doesn't matter, and each offers a view of the best all-purpose glass.
But as in the wine world, some enthusiasts argue that you need this glass menagerie. "Beer glass shape is a function of the carbonation in the beer, the surface area on the bottom of the glass, and the surface finish of the glass itself," says beer historian and author Gregg Smith.
"Surface imperfections in the glass supply nucleation sites, a kind of incubator for bubble formation. Next, surface area combined with the height work together to provide the correct combination of geometry for each beer. Carbonation carries the beer's aromas through the liquid and into the air as bubbles burst at the top."
Smith points out that a Pilsner, with its high carbonation, requires a wide top and thin bottom of a tall funnel shape: Bubbles will dissipate quickly at the top, releasing aroma. "For a less-carbonated beer," he says, citing older Belgians, "you would want a glass with a fairly large surface area on the bottom to encourage the release of carbon dioxide, and then a large surface area at the top to also allow the consumer to enjoy the aroma."
Then there's Thomas Hummel, a German scientist specializing in sensory perception. He studied wineglasses and found that shape affects aroma in unexpected ways, but not flavor. Beer's bubbles carry flavor to the drinker differently than wine's volatile aromas, but Hummel's research nevertheless throws a grain of salt into complex discussions of glass shape.
Jim Koch doesn't need convincing. The founder and chairman of Boston Beer Co. and brewer of Samuel Adams did his own research about glass shapes to construct the perfect glass for his Boston lager, but he skipped the signature glass mentality. "I wanted to take a very different approach. We used no marketing people, just brewers and sensory scientists," he says.
The panel of experts at TIAX, a research company, tasted the beer in 100 or more glasses, filling 180 pages with their findings. The thicker the glass, they discovered, the worse the beer keeps its temperature; a thick, room-temperature glass has more thermal mass pushing heat into the cold beer. Laser etchings at the base of the glass kick up bubbles that carry flavor to the drinker. A large bulge near the top captures aroma.
It's an unusual glass, but Koch asserts that modern beer glasses don't fare well for flavor when funneled through TIAX's findings. The wide mouths of shaker pints, the lack of aroma-capturing curves in Pilsner glasses, and the thick glass of beer steins all hurt the beer more than help.
But Garrett Oliver, author of "The Brewmaster's Table" (Ecco, 2003), offers a surprising suggestion for the beer drinker who lacks pantry space for all the different glass types. "Wineglasses are designed to help you get the best out of your wine," he says. "Almost any stemmed wineglass will do the same for beer."
Experts may disagree about the best glass to use, but they all agree on how to serve your beer. Wash your glasses thoroughly to give the head a chance to bloom, and never chill your glass, which changes the temperature of the beer. But regardless of vessel, if you enjoy the beer, everyone wins.
An expansion of ITA recognized breweries took place for the first time in 2012 when the trappist brewery of the abbey of Engelszell, Trappistenbrauerei Engelszell in Engelhartszell, Austria started brewing beer at the monastery (the former production had stopped in 1929) and in the same year obtained the Authentic Trappist Product logo for their beer.[6]
Belgian breweries have a tradition of providing custom beer glasses: with Trappist breweries, these often take the form of "chalice" or "goblet" style glasses. The distinction between goblet and chalice is typically in the glass thickness. Goblets tend to be more delicate and thin, while the chalice is heavy and thick walled. Some chalices are etched on the bottom to nucleate a stream of bubbles for maintaining a nice head.
You may be surprised to hear that Belgium has more than 150 breweries, which produce over 1,000 different types of beer. This weekend you can sample 49 of them, from a selection of 10 categories: pilsner, white beer, trappist beer, abbey beer, lambic beer, red beer, fruit beer, golden ale, saison beer and special beer.
Epic Brewing Company: Utah Sage Saison Salt Lake City, Utah Release #3, 7.5% abvEpic offers an aromatic twist on the beer traditionally brewed for consumption by Walloon field hands during hot summer months. Utah Sage Saison pours a hazy gold with visible carbonation and a dense two-finger white head that leaves lacing along the sides of the glass as it recedes. The first whiff is overwhelmingly of white sagebrush, evoking the feeling of standing in the Eastern Sierra Nevada on a warm August afternoon. Spicy, earthy notes and a hint of unripe apricots emerge as the beer opens up in the glass. The first taste brings Meyer lemon peel and spicy sage, followed by an earthy streak mid-palate. Medium body and lively carbonation keep this beer light on its feet and true to the thirst-quenching style. The finish is long and dry with a beautiful sage note that lingers for close to a minute. Overall, this strikes a lovely balance between malt, hop and herb flavors, and would pair beautifully with an aged white cheddar or butternut squash soup.
Tart of Darkness shows a nearly opaque reddish brown, with a fizzy beige head that quickly diminishes to a ring of bubbles at the edge of the glass. Strong aromas of tart cherries and red wine vinegar leap from the glass, while a more subtle Concord grape note lingers in the background. Bittersweet cacao and tiramisu come forth as the beer warms. Mouth-puckering sour cherry floods the palate once the beer hits your lips, giving way to an earthy component reminiscent of a warm, dusty barn. Cacao, oak tannins and a juicy vinous element emerge after several minutes in the glass. The beer finishes bone dry with a tart, acidic zing that lingers for well over a minute. Light body, effervescent carbonation and modest ABV make this a good candidate for a Friday afternoon quaff, and would pair nicely with a prosciutto and aged gruyere panini. 041b061a72
