Which of the following is NEVER recommended as a preparation for beer glasses?

  1. Air dried

  2. Frosted with ice crystals

  3. Lightly chilled

  4. Room temperature

The correct answer is: Frosted with ice crystals

While it may seem tempting to serve beer in a frosted glass, it is actually not recommended as it can interfere with the taste and aroma of the beer. Freezing a glass can also cause it to break, creating a safety hazard. Air drying, lightly chilling, or serving at room temperature are all acceptable ways to prepare a beer glass for serving. Ice crystals can also dilute the beer, negatively impacting its taste.
