Curator’s Notes

This 25 cl glass, manufactured in 2025 for Légendaire Pils, begins with a familiar formula: a straight-sided Pils glass, finished with a gold rim. The large black-and-white Légendaire branding dominates the otherwise restrained exterior.

Look through the glass, however, and something much less conventional appears. Much of the interior surface is covered with small, almost diamond-shaped moulded indentations. These appear to provide numerous nucleation points, encouraging bubbles to form across a much larger area than the familiar single etched nucleation mark found at the base of many modern beer glasses.

It is an unusual treatment, but not unique. The Belgian Peak Beer Pils glass (BBG031) elsewhere in the Museum uses the same basic idea, although its interior indentations are more rounded. Together, the two glasses provide an interesting variation on an otherwise conventional piece of Pils glassware.

Brasserie des Légendes adds one final detail. An ornate capital ‘L’ is etched into the bottom of the glass, visible as the beer disappears — a small flourish on a glass whose more interesting design work is largely hidden on the inside.
