Much as the Maryland flag is a symbol of reconciliation between the pro- and anti-slavery sides in the Civil War, the open-mouthed Chimay glass is a symbol of reconciliation between the Flemish and Walloons in Belgium. The Flemish traditionally drank their beer from open-mouthed tankards; of course, the Walloons used narrow glasses.
