Yeah, it's mainly about different styles of beer. You have your Belgians which are usually bottle fermented wheat beers that have fruit flavors in them. Stuff like Blue Moon (Coors) and Hoegaarden (InBev) copy that style. Then you have IPA (India Pale Ales) which are known for having about double the hops of normal beers. Hops is related to weed I think, and gives it a bitter taste and a herby smell. On the other end of the scale you have porters and stouts, which are usually thick and dark, like Guinness.

Stuff like budweiser are ales which are usually light and easy to drink. Kostritzer drinks like an ale (it's not thick at all), but has the flavor of a porter, which to me is perfect. Everyone has their own taste though, like I said.

i don't think it does much at all honestly. sam adams had a marketing campaign a little while ago about their special glasses with laser etched bottoms that are supposed to cause bubbles to rise like champagne. I think the idea was that it forces the flavors to disperse in the beer, aerating them, and distributing them evenly. beer does taste better in a glass, but i don't think the glass type really matters. I could be wrong though, it's not something i ever looked into. i think it's the same concept as wine glasses.

There are a number of beers that require differnet glasses for differnet reasons. Most of the time it has to do with tiny bit of sediment at the bottom and the amount thereof.
La Chouffe and Duvel are the first (and most common) that come to mind, but I've heard of several other that needed different glasses, some even had unique pouring instructions to go with them.

I am by no means a beer connaisseur, but don't underestimate it. There are some special ones out there
