American "pint" glasses suck

I just drank two half liter glasses of my recent APA, and I now realize that I hate drinking from standard American "pint" glasses.

I have a bunch of actual pint glasses from Crate & Barrel that I like a lot-- they have a cool ridge near the top of the glass and have a very British style to them-- but now I'm really enamored with this European 0.5 l glass that I got for free a year or so ago. I can pour a beer in it with a good amount of foam and still get a full half liter of beer.

I need more of these glasses.

Youv'e proabably heard of this site but I thought I'd post a link anyway. They have some cool glasses, but then again it's not too hard to get cool glasses from many sources.

go check out your local thrift stores also, i've found a bunch of sweet beer glasses that way. i agree about shaker pint glasses.

yes, i am not a fan of the shaker pint glasses for beer, although i seem to have a huge collection of them. i use them for everything but beer. i like the english 20oz pint glasses for everyday beer use. got a link or a pic of the .5 liter glasses? i need some cooler glasses also.

I lived in Germany for 9 years...the majority of my glass collection is half liters...

I love the Nonic pints.

$3.50 for a stamped nonic? I'd like some, but damn...

**** that. real men drink from tulip glasses.

Shaker pints were made for....well...the other end of a shaker. That and iced tea.

Not made for beer. F-them.

I keep seeing Yard of Ale glasses in World Market........It's only a matter of time before I cave in and get one. I've resisted it well so far.

I bought my "English" pint glasses from them. They are fake. On the etched symbol instead of PINT it says INT, and half the crown is missing. I don't care though, it feels like a proper pint even if it's only an int. I'm enjoying a very nice int of bitter as I type this!

I have been a big fan of the glass bottomed pewter tankard lately.

Real man imo.

Did you use "real men" and "tulip" in the same sentence???







Just sayin.:cross:

Damn right. I'll suck (down) a flute (glass) any day.

There's something about this glass.... Would this be considered a P3nis pilsner?

lmao

I really like the SA glasses but they aren't a pint. And imo a pint is a better serving size for beer. I also like the tall .5L weizen glasses.

The SA glasses are pretty. I just think though, that however thoroughly I washed them, I would not be able to remove the taste of marketing.

My current favorite glass.



My current favorite glass with beer.

It's a freebie Ayinger (great Oktoberfest, BTW) glass that I got for spending over $200 on beer at a really cool beer store a while back. I haven't looked for similar glasses to buy, but I just might have to do that.
