Bottles or Glasses
We're doing wine, beer, sparlking and still water at our cocktail hour my question is: do I serve the beer in glasses or in the bottle? same goes for the waters I was going to do VOSS water.

Re: Bottles or Glasses
[QUOTE]I always ask for a glass when I am drinking a bottled beer. It releases the flavors and <strong>I find it very odd for a female to drink out of a bottle.</strong> I'd probably prepare for glasses with each. People don't have to use the glass if they don't want to.

What, why?
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
[QUOTE]<strong>I just think it's unladylike.</strong> It is def a personal thing. But I'd probably drink a beer out of a glass no matter what to make sure that the flavors are released. All the brewers in town say something happens to the beer during the pour.

<div>You must think drinking vodka straight from the bottle makes a woman a heathen, then. Not that I've ever done that or anything. </div>
That being said, I'm unladylike and drink beer out of the can/bottle.
A friend of ,mine was horrified when she got her photos back and in almost every one she had a bottle in her hand.

I was thinking the same thing. I drink out of bottles, but I've never seen someone drink beer out of a glass. <div>
</div><div>I say have a glass for those who want it.</div>

It's not so much about offending <em>me</em>. Like, I can dig sparkly's grandmother's take on it - where she thinks it's unseemly for a male or female to drink from a bottle. I can respect that, at least. I understand the whole bit about the pouring, too - especially as a self-professed beer snob. But the unequal application of the opinion based on gender really bugs.
Don't you remember going to the fridge when you were a kid and grabbing the bottle of OJ or milk and chugging from it. Then, Mom would yell, "get a glass! did you grow up in a barn?"
Same idea, grown up
[QUOTE]The wedding isn't ultra formal but is not casual either. As for the water I wasn't talking about plastic bottled water I was going to get a few cases of VOSS water I actually like the look of the cylindrical glass bottles. I know it might sound pretentious but since it's a limited bar (venue is a historical site that does not allow hard liquor) I didn't want it to look cheep with pitchers of water that could be just tap water and generic seltzer.

VOSS water does look nice, but I still think glasses need to be available. Some people might not use them, but then that's their choice.

<div>I feel like water is always poured into glasses for meals that are slightly formal. I have a water bottle in my purse, but I drink out of a glass at dinner, even though I could just get my bottle out. If you are worried about looking cheap (which I don't think you will regardless), you can just have larger bottles of the flat and sparkling waters and have those poured into a glass as guests order them. That way, it's easy to add lemon or lime, which some people like in water. </div>

[QUOTE]Settled. Beer and water both get opened at bar and poured into glasses. Looks better and makes beer taste better. Thank you.
