Don't drink beer out of a beer mug.
Instead, enjoy the self-proclaimed national drink of the Germans from a thin glass.
But why?
A cool blond on a warm summer evening, heat up the mood with beer pong with friends or the good old well-deserved beer after work.
The situations in which Germans enjoy the self-proclaimed national drink are at least as diverse as the different types of beer.
Do you prefer pils, wheat or export?
Or do you drink Radler quite often?
However, they all have one thing in common: You shouldn’t drink beer from a beer mug – except perhaps at events like the Oktoberfest, where you have no other choice.

But you can not only drink the popular drink: you can use beer for baking, cooking or as a home remedy for a cold.
Even expired beer does not necessarily have to be thrown away, but can still be consumed under certain circumstances.
That's why you shouldn't drink beer out of a beer mug
Better not to drink beer from a mass mug, but rather from a thin glass instead.
Because a report by

shows that the thickness of the beer glass affects the taste of the beer.
The thinner the beer glass, the better the beer tastes.

But the vessel from which you drink does not only affect the temperature.
The carbon dioxide is also more likely to be retained in thin beer glasses and the beer aroma can develop better.
It's not just beer mugs that aren't recommended: according to the report, you shouldn't drink your after-work beer out of plastic containers either.
The carbon dioxide also escapes faster from this and the beer tastes stale.

PET bottles or aluminum cans are also not ideal for drinking beer.
The materials can affect the taste of the beer through chemical reactions.
