Show us your glassware collections.

I have a homemade cabinet perched atop my beer fridge. It's getting full. And kind of a disheveled mess.

Space is at a premium at our city house so things get repurposed to fit the space available. The sofa table behind the couch started life as a stand I built for my wife’s electric keyboard. When she loaned the keyboard to her sister we discovered it was the perfect height to fit behind the couch. When I built my keezer, a couple of years ago, it was in the garage. I built a small wall cabinet to keep glassware in above the keezer. When winter arrived, and I couldn‘t keep the faucets from freezing, the keezer found a home behind the couch and the cabinet turned out to be just the right size to fit under the table.

The top shelf is kind of a catchall for beer koozies, coasters, and spare o-rings but there is space for about a dozen glasses on the lower shelves.

My wife and one of her friends went downtown today to have lunch and cruise some of the little specialty shops there. One of the “antique malls” (permanent flea markets) was having a moving sale, as they’re moving into a different building at the end of the month. She scored this Grain Belt mug for a few bucks. It’s a nice, heavy, vessel.

Yeah it is. "Beer Glass As Lethal Weapon"

The single greatest glassware choice I've made so far was buying miniature pint glasses. Nine ounces. When you want more than one beer, but you want to be able to drive without waiting 6 hours, they're great. Excellent for serving samples to people so they don't throw out a pint of beer every time they start blubbering about the scary IBU's they're not used to.

Some people collect keychains, others magnets, some postcards. I feel this thread is calling me out. I have a weakness for collecting pint glasses from memorable places. I will also steal them (with the bartender's permission) from places that don't sell them. The occasional gifted one too.

My wife never passes up an opportunity to tell me we have too many pint glasses. We have a cabinet in the kitchen to back her up.

There's more than pictured (a lot more), but I rotate them out from time to time.

Modest collection of glassware cause I know it can get over the top. Have a nice range of pints, pilsner, and tulips. Tasting glasses too.

I made a rule that I would only use give-away type nonics for beers I take into the garage/workshop/yard/anywhere breakage is a strong possibility - so basically used by default. Then I save my nice branded glasses for guests or special occasions.

Since then, I've only broken one junk glass, and three nice ones. Go figure.

These work good for outdoors and down by the pool where broken glass is an issue

I had a suspicion there would be another thread lurking somewhere. Funny, I did some keyword searches on this site before posting mine and found nothing.

Wouldn't be the first time we had multiple threads on a subject.

Carry on.

I have a couple of these, though they didn't come with the snazzy lids. Good for outdoors. Insulated, too.

I wish my glassware would break....I have way too much...

Did the lid come from William's or did you get that somewhere else? I have that same glass in the 40th Anniversary logo.

EDIT: I love these glassware threads.......
