Curator’s Notes

A colourful 25 cl Pils glass that takes Peak's familiar house design in a rather different direction. The topographical lines of the High Fens remain, but here they are combined with Peak logos and motifs in red, blue and orange, giving the glass a much livelier appearance than the brewery's more restrained designs.

Most unusually, the interior is covered with small moulded indentations. These appear to act as nucleation points, encouraging bubbles to form across a much larger area than the more familiar etched nucleation mark at the base of a beer glass. It is an unusual treatment, although not unique: another Pils glass in the Museum's collection, from Brasserie des Légendes, uses a similar design.

The intriguing part is the glass style itself. Peak's established beer range does not include a Pils, which made this an immediate curiosity when I found it at the brewery. There is evidence that a Peak Pils has occasionally been served there, but it appears to have been an unusual or limited offering rather than part of the brewery's regular range. That small mystery was one of the principal reasons I wanted the glass in the collection.

The verification mark dates this example to 2024.
