Goblet (Chalice)

Chalices and goblets are large, stemmed, bowl-shaped glasses adequate for serving heavy Belgian ales,German bocks, and other big sipping beers. The distinction between goblet and chalice is typically in the glass thickness. Goblets tend to be more delicate and thin, while the chalice is heavy and thick walled. Some chalices are even etched on the bottom to nucleate a stream of bubbles for maintaining a nice head.
