About the design

Intuitively, it was soon felt that a beer with an alcohol content of less than 5 per cent would ideally be presented in a different glass. A working group was therefore set up to design the new 33cl glass. 
As a starting point for the modern design, they reached back to conical Westmalle glasses from the 1920s and 1930s. They were glasses without bases, often finished with an enamel print and silver rim. Some glasses said 'Extra' or 'Extra-gersten', others just said 'Trappist beer' with the AW logo. At meals at the abbey, guests use a similar glass although without decorations.
The new Westmalle glass was produced in Portugal. The outside is round, the inside has ten facets. The bottom bears the AW logo and at the bottom the text 'brewed within the walls of the Trappist Abbey' is printed. The glasses were printed at a specialised company in Flanders. The enamel decoration on the flank states the red and white AW logo with the name 'Westmalle' above it in the characteristic blue of the Extra and the text 'Trappist Extra' below.
