It is my understanding that the glass was designed for carriage drivers who wanted a drink to take on the road (or maybe they had to stay with the horses). Cupholders had not quite been invented yet, so the glass, with the wood “rack” were invented so they could drive the coaches and not spill their beer! Gotta love that form and function!

(Now, I did “learn” this at the Delirium Bar in Brussels, and I can’t for 100% for sure say that it isn’t just some tale they tell the tourists, but hey it sounds very plausible!)

In Greenville, I know they serve it at Barley’s and Addy’s. I would imagine you could find it at finer bars and beer stores, but I can’t speak for where else it is distributed.

Where can I find this Kwak? It sounds like an awesome After Dinner Beer…did you find it in Greenville? I also like any culture who thinks so highly of beer as to design a glass to suit each kind….Belgium is growing in MY esteem.
