This Is How Science Created The World’s Smoothest Beer Glass
When people think of King Cobra Malt Liquor, the term “classy” probably doesn’t roll off the tongue. In the US, King Cobra Malt Liquor, is distributed by Anheuser-Busch, and should be officially reserved for fraternity games like Edward Fourtyhands.
However, in Europe, Cobra Beer, a Molson Coors product, carries a variety of different alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages including “King Cobra”, which Cobra Beer markets in a really fancy champagne-style bottle as, “the world’s first double fermented, Pilsner style lager,” according its website.
Don’t let the name fool you, Cobra Beer’s King Cobra and King Cobra Malt Liquor and are very different.
Branded with the tagline, “Live Smooth,” Cobra beer prides itself on smoothness and sophistication. So much so that Cobra Beer now claims they’ve invented the world’s smoothest glass.
Not only does this glass feature never seen before technology but its designers also claim that this glass will be, “the biggest innovation in pouring since gravity.”
In order to help launch this new glassware campaign, Cobra Beer worked with London-based Karmarama, an independent marketing communications firm, along with a team of specialists and professors at universities including Birmingham University and Imperial College to develop the glassware prototypes.
In order to deliver the most efficient beer glass on the market, Cobra designed a helix-shaped channel into the glass, which is the center of the glass’s fucntion.
“The glass has a unique channel in the interior facia allowing the liquid to flow smoothly around the glass to the base, creating a whirlpool effect, releasing flavour and aroma and creating the perfect head, all in order to bring to life the beer’s ‘impossibly smooth’ positioning,” according to a Karmarama press release.
Alison Pickering, Brand Director Portfolio at Molson Coors, said she expects this glassware to add excitement and interest into the Cobra brand as they expand.
“The glassware we think is industry-defining, will help create reappraisal of Cobra, adding visual drama at the bar, and ensuring the best possible pint,” Alison Pickering, Brand Director Portfolio at Molson Coors
The public will be able to experience this new innovate beer drinking technology sometime this summer, so get ready to “Live Smooth.“
