Beer glasses have become increasingly fetishized since Cliff Clavin’s era, when dark, light, and amber lagers alike were confined to a one-size-fits-all mug. Take the latest from Spiegelau: a glass engineered specifically for India pale ale ($25 for two at Bloomingdale’s, 1000 Third Ave., at 59th St.; 212-705-2000). Designed with help from the founders of IPA-centric breweries Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada, the tuliplike mouth guides the beer’s herbal-citrus aroma straight to your nose, while a rippled bottom aerates and froths with every sip.
