Description

  The present invention relates to a glass glass, and more particularly to a glass for mixing different kinds of beer for facilitating pouring different types of beer.

  Ways of enjoying beer include the color and aroma of beer, taste, and foaming when poured into a glass. These are important elements for making the food delicious and directing the atmosphere.

  In general, a transparent glass made of glass is widely used because it can express the taste with different shades for each beer. In that case, a method has been proposed in which foaming is increased by sandblasting the inner surface of the container in anticipation of the visual effect of beer foam (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-242999). However, the container looks ugly and the appearance of the color is not good.

  Recently, in addition to enjoying the color, aroma, taste, and bubbling of one type of beer, different types of beer are poured into a glass together to enjoy the color, aroma, and taste of a mixed beer. Opportunities are also increasing. In recent years, beer with unique individuality such as black beer and imported beer is easily available in addition to mainstream golden Pilsner beer.

  Even if two types of beer are simply poured into one glass, since the foaming conditions differ depending on the type of beer, spilling due to inadvertent foaming tends to occur, and the mixing ratio tends to become unstable. Moreover, the method of pouring becomes too cautious and may not form a suitable foaming. Therefore, when pouring different types of beer, it is necessary to know the characteristics of each beer, which requires some skill.

  In recent years, the delicious combination of food and beer has been actively pursued. From the taste of existing beer alone, the range of dishes to be combined tends to be fixed. Therefore, there has been a demand for a new flavor and aroma that cannot be achieved by the taste of one kind of beer.

  Accordingly, there has been a demand for a glass that can pour different types of beer as easily as possible even if unfamiliar with beer handling, and that can enjoy the color, aroma, taste, and foaming of mixed beer.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and proposes a glass that can easily pour different kinds of beer and can provide the enjoyment of the color, aroma, taste, and foaming of mixed beer. .

  In other words, the invention of claim 1 is a vertically long glass glass formed such that the outer diameter of the lower half is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper half. The present invention relates to a glass for mixing different kinds of beer, characterized in that a band-shaped taper step portion having a low side is formed.

  The invention according to claim 2 relates to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to claim 1, wherein the width of the band-shaped taper step portion is 1 mm to 10 mm.

  The invention according to claim 3 relates to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the band-shaped taper step portion is formed at an oblique angle position of 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to a horizontal plane.

  The invention of claim 4 relates to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the lower half has a constriction.

  According to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to the invention of claim 1, the glass is a vertically long glass formed such that the outer diameter of the lower half is smaller than the outer diameter of the upper half, from the central portion of the inner surface of the glass Since a band-shaped taper step is formed on the upper side toward the upper side, different types of beer can be poured relatively easily by tilting the glass with the band-shaped taper step as a guide. You can enjoy the color, aroma, taste and foaming of the later beer.

  According to the glass for mixing different kinds of beer according to the invention of claim 2, since the width of the band-shaped taper step portion is 1 mm to 10 mm, it functions as a mark for the amount of beer poured and is provided in the glass glass. There is no risk of damaging the atmosphere.

  According to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to the invention of claim 3, in the invention of claim 1 or 2, the band-shaped taper step portion is formed at an oblique angle position of 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the horizontal plane. When the glass is tilted based on an oblique angle, a sufficient capacity can be poured while suppressing unnecessary foaming when pouring the first kind of beer.

  According to the glass for mixing different types of beer according to the invention of claim 4, in the invention of any one of claims 1 to 3, since the lower half portion has a constricted portion, the ease of grasping in the constricted portion is improved, The ease of holding the glass itself is improved. In addition, since a moderate change occurs in the diameter of each part of the glass body, the monotonous shape of the vertically long shape can be eliminated and the fun of modeling is added.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a glass for mixing different types of beer according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of FIG. 1, FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram when pouring beer, FIG. 5 is a first schematic diagram when pouring is finished, and FIG. 6 is a second schematic diagram when pouring is finished.

  As disclosed in the overall perspective view of FIG. 1 and the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the different beer mixing glass 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a lower half portion 11 and an upper half portion 12. Each half occupies approximately half of the total height. The outer diameter D1 of the lower half portion 11 is formed thinner than the outer diameter D2 of the upper half portion 12, and the glass 10 as a whole has a vertically long shape. Usually, this vertically long glass is called a tumbler. The glass 10 for mixing different types of beer in the example is made of colorless and transparent glass in order to emphasize the color of the beer poured and not to warm the poured beer. In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes a mouth portion, and 17 denotes a bottom portion.

  In the glass inner surface part 13 of the glass 10 for different types of beer, a band-shaped taper step part 20 having a lower upper side 23 (see FIG. 3) is formed obliquely upward from the central part 14. The upper side of the band-shaped taper step is the direction toward the glass mouth 16 side. As can be seen from FIG. 2 and as defined in the invention of claim 3, the band-shaped taper step 20 has an elliptical band shape at an oblique angle θ above 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the horizontal plane of the glass. Is formed. The role of the band-shaped taper step portion 20 and the setting of the oblique angle θ are guidelines for making it easy to pour an appropriate amount of the first type of beer (see the half-and-half line in the description below).

  Since the glass 10 for mixing different types of beer according to the embodiment has a vertically long shape, the center of gravity thereof is high, and the glass tends to become unstable after pouring beer. Therefore, the glass thickness T2 of the upper half 12 is made thinner than the glass thickness T1 of the lower half 11. The change in the glass thickness appears only on the inner surface 13 of the glass and does not appear on the outer surface 18 of the glass. For this reason, it does not affect the flowing design shape of the outer surface 18 which is the glass appearance for mixing different types of beer.

  By making the glass thickness of the lower half portion 11 thicker than the upper half portion, the glass weight on the lower half portion side together with the lower portion 17 is increased. Therefore, the position of the center of gravity in the entire glass is lowered and the stability is improved. Moreover, since the glass thickness is provided with a thick portion, when the glass is sufficiently cooled and used, it is possible to prevent the poured beer from becoming warm. Further, since the glass thickness on the upper half 12 side is thin, the mouth portion 16 is naturally thin. In this case, the mouth feel is also improved.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part in the vicinity of the band-shaped taper step portion 20. The glass thickness of the glass is changed to a gentle step shape through the band-shaped taper step portion 20. As can be clearly seen from the drawing, the height of the band-shaped taper step portion 20 decreases from h1 to h2 from the lower side 22 to the upper side 23 (h1> h2). The change in height in the band-shaped taper step portion 20 becomes a continuous inclined portion 21. Therefore, as defined in the invention of claim 2, the width W of the band-shaped taper step portion 20 (inclined portion 21) is set to 1 mm to 10 mm. By giving the band-shaped taper step portion the width described above, it functions as a mark for the amount of beer poured, and there is no risk of impairing the aesthetic atmosphere of the glass glass. The inclination and width of the band-shaped taper step are determined in consideration of the size of the glass itself, the convenience during glass molding, the designability after completion, the ease of use, and the like. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the band-shaped taper step portion 20 of the embodiment appears on the inner surface portion 13 of the glass as a slightly unclear band line whose boundary is not clear.

  The glass 10 for mixing different types of beer of the embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and has a constricted portion 15 in the lower half portion 11 as defined in the invention of claim 4. By providing the constricted portion 15, the ease of grasping the glass is improved in the constricted portion, and the ease of holding the glass itself is improved. Moreover, since a moderate change arises in the diameter of each part of the glass body, the monotonous shape of the vertically long shape can be eliminated and the fun of modeling is added.

  When mixing and enjoying beer, the type, amount, and proportion of beer to be used will be personal preference. For example, when making half and half (half & half), bottom beer such as Pilsner or Jerez, golden beer represented by top fermented beer such as Pale Ale and Kelsh, stout, porter, etc. Black beer typified by bottom fermented beer such as top fermented beer and Bock is used. Among these, a combination of stout and pilsner is common in foaming and taste.

  Naturally, beer to be mixed includes beer according to the liquor tax law, as well as happoshu, other brewed liquors (foaming), miscellaneous liquor, beer-taste beverages with an alcohol concentration of less than 1%, and the like. For example, various types of sparkling liquor containing wood strawberry, orange peel, chocolate, coffee and the like can be mixed with the above-described pilsner. Also, different beer mixing glasses are suitable for making cocktails by mixing beer and beverages other than beer (such as ginger ale and sparkling wine).

  The usage example of the glass for mixing different types of beer according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows a state where the first type of beer is poured into the glass of the example. As shown in the figure, the glass 10 for mixing different types of beer is tilted at an angle that keeps the band-shaped taper step 20 almost horizontal. The inclination at this time is the aforementioned oblique angle θ (see FIG. 2). The oblique angle θ in FIG. 4 is 45 °, and the same angle is inclined. Then, the first type of beer B1 is gently poured from the faucet S of the beer dispenser along the glass inner surface 13 near the mouth 16. At this time, it is desirable to also form foam F1 of beer B1. The oblique angle attached to the band-shaped taper step that also affects the inclination of the glass takes into account the height, capacity, overall shape, etc. of the glass itself.

  As shown in the figure, the belt-like taper step 20 is kept horizontal, so that an excellent inclination angle in the glass can be easily maintained. In general, excessive foaming of beer often has a steep glass angle at the time of beer injection. This is because the carbon dioxide dissolved in the beer is released at a time due to the impact with the glass when injecting the beer. By being conscious of the band-shaped taper step, there is an effect of reducing the impact with the glass when injecting beer. Further, by using a band-shaped taper step as a capacity reference line, it is possible to pour the first type of beer up to almost half of the glass content. For this reason, the possibility that the amount of mixing differs each time is reduced. That is, the band-shaped taper step portion acts as a half & half line.

  Subsequently, a second type of beer (not shown) is gently poured into the glass for mixing different types of beer along the inner surface of the glass. In the beginning, the second type of beer is gently poured from the faucet of the beer dispenser through the glass inner surface of the mouth while maintaining the inclination of the glass shown in FIG. Thereafter, the glass is gradually poured and poured into a sufficient volume. Thus, the two types of beer are mixed in the glass, and mixed beers with different personalities that could not be produced by either beer alone can be obtained. Since the band-shaped taper step is a guide only, it is free to raise and lower the amount of beer injected according to preference. Even in this case, since the amount of beer poured can be increased and decreased by using the band-shaped taper step as a measure of the capacity, it is easy to grasp the capacity.

  Both the schematic diagrams of FIGS. 5 and 6 show the state after pouring two types of beer. A mixture of both beers will be described as an example, using two types of beer such as golden beer such as Pilsner and black beer such as stout.

  In the case of the schematic diagram of FIG. 5, as a first type of beer, first, a golden-colored beer is a different beer mixing glass 10 that is tilted so as to keep a strip-shaped taper step 20 (so-called half & half line) horizontal. The strip-shaped taper step is poured, and at the same time, white foam derived from golden beer is also formed. Subsequently, while maintaining the state in which the glass is tilted as it is, the black beer, which is the second type of beer, is poured gently so as to hide under the white foam derived from the golden beer previously formed. Then, two kinds of beer are mixed in a glass and become brown. In the figure, it becomes mixed beer Ba. White foam Fa derived from golden beer remains on the liquid surface.

  The appearance of the color of the mixed beer and the color of the foam are different, and the interestingness of the color that is not usually tasted is generated. When trying to drink mixed beer, you can taste the soft touch of white foam Fa derived from golden beer at first. After that, when tasting the mixed beer Ba, a rich taste derived from the black beer is added to the golden beer, and a rich and rich taste can be enjoyed. In other words, you can get interest in the difference between foam and beer.

  In the case of the schematic diagram of FIG. 6, in contrast to the mixing order of FIG. 5, as a first type of beer, black beer is tilted so as to keep the strip-shaped taper step 20 (so-called half & half line) horizontal. Further, the strip-shaped taper step of the different beer mixing glass 10 is poured, and at the same time, brown bubbles derived from black beer are formed. Similarly, while keeping the state of tilting the glass as it is, the second type of beer, the golden-colored beer, is poured gently so as to hide under the brown foam derived from the black-colored beer formed earlier. It is. The two types of beer are mixed in a glass and become brown. In the figure, it becomes mixed beer Bb. Brown foam Fb derived from black beer remains on the liquid surface.

  In the case of the mixed example of FIG. 6, when trying to drink mixed beer, the fine creamy feel of brown foam Fb derived from black beer can be tasted at first. Then, when tasting the mixed beer Bb, a refreshing feeling derived from the golden beer is added to the richness unique to the black beer, and the beer can be enjoyed. According to this mixed example, it is suitable for the purpose of lightly finishing the taste of black beer.

  So far, the process of pouring different types of beer into a glass has relied on beer handling experience. However, according to the glass for mixing different types of beer of the present invention shown and described in detail, it becomes easy to learn tips for mixing different types of beer even in individuals and homes, and it is difficult and difficult to pour. Can be relaxed. Therefore, the opportunity to enjoy new colors, aromas, flavors, and foaming generated by mixed beer is expanded.

  As a result, when pursuing the deliciousness of the combination of food and beer, it is relatively easy to obtain a novel taste and aroma that cannot be achieved from the taste of one kind of beer by mixing different kinds of beer. it can. Therefore, the glass for mixing different types of beer is useful for creating a rich dietary life by increasing the enjoyment of mixing and tasting different types of beer in individuals and at home. In the food and beverage business, glasses for different types of beer are products that expand the range of beverages and alcoholic beverages that match dishes, improve customer satisfaction, create store atmosphere and topics, and differentiate from other businesses. It can be said that it is a convenient glass for development.
