We here at Great Lakes Brewery (GLB) love lacing. We mean it, we really love lacing. You can ask any number of our hardworking sales representatives to show you their collection of beautiful lacing on GLB pint glasses from around the province and they quickly whip out their phones like a proud new parent.
We love seeing lacing on our GLB pint glasses so much that we’ve decided that we’d like to run a contest to see which one of you, the awesome GLB supporters out there, have the best image that shows just how lovely the lacing from your GLB beer was.
Why is lacing so significant to us, you ask? Well, lacing is good for a number of reasons.
- It shows/tells the drinker that the beer was fresh and made using quality ingredients.
- Beer clean glass – yes, lacing lets you know that the beer glass was beer clean. Good sign of a great bar.
- If at a bar or restaurant – lines are clean, beer served at a good temperature.
- You know you’re getting a great beer experience when points 1-3 line up.
- It’s cool – it can remind you of how many sips your took to the bottom of the glass. Like counting the rings of a tree to determine its age
