I was watching 'Amazing hotels' (BBC series) and in one scene the hosts are serving something pale and fizzy from a font into champagne glass. I assumed it was sparkling wine but it occurred to me you could brew something very strong (like 9%+) and instead of putting it in a beer glass you could serve it in a champagne glass. That way you'd drink it slower. Sediment might be an issue if you bottled it but a corny would work.

Does something like this already exist ? Small beer glasses etc.

One of the nicest beers I ever had was a light coloured, crisp, slightly fruity saison in a small brewery in Leuven a few years back. Very fine, small bubbles and mouthfeel similar to champagne. Dry and maybe even slightly sour (Brett?) Served in a champagne glass. It's on my list of beers to recreate.

Edit. Found it. Not sure it's this exact one, we did try quite a few that day...
