My favorite beer glass

EricK The Red · Mar 1, 2008

I stole this from a resturant about 8 years ago and it's by far my favorite (I'm a bad bad person). Here it is full of my English Pale Ale:

Just thought I'd share...

Hey if you have time post a pic of the "La fin du monde" glass would really like to see it.

It's not my "go to" glass by any means, but it's definitely unique (and over-priced). It's supposed to be the best beer glass ever, but I find it a bit top-heavy and small. (that's what she said)

JSMCGARY · Mar 4, 2008

I got two of the Sam Adams glasses from a local bar for cost ($2.50) each. All I did was ask if I could get a couple. Find that works the best. I have gotten at least a dozen glasses for free by just by asking for one.

I bought SWMBO one of those Maudite glasses at xmas. She's got a nice little Belgian glass collection going.

I don't have pictures of mine, but maybe I'll take some and post them later this week.

As far as pint glasses, I have some Sam Adams glasses which fade from frosted white to frosted blue. They're really nice looking -- they were part of some kind of promo deal at a local bar.

I have some nice goblet-style glasses from a local brewpub called Brewer's Art. They're great but they don't hold a pint so I usually use them for sharing (tasting with friends, etc), and sometimes for wine, mead, barleywine, etc.

Ultimately, my favorites are some solid glass mugs that I got at IKEA for $2 each. I think they're these ones. Great mugs, they are big and chunky and solid, highly recommended.

Trivia: Mjöd (the name of the glass) means mead in Swedish.

My favorite glass is one that is full of beer. :mug:

Fingers · Mar 5, 2008

I don't have any pics right now, but my favorite tends to change from time to time. First it was a German stein with a lid and a special crest on it, then I was drinking everything out of Pilsner glasses I got for Christmas. This week I'm stuck in a hotel on business so I went and got a few fine ales. I didn't want to drink them out of hotel glasses so I stopped at a dollar store. They had some nice heavy pint glasses for a buck or two each. I bought three and wish I'd bought more.

for sam adam's boston lager. most breweries have a glass that they claim to highlight their beer's best characteristics, but i'll take a tulip or snifter anytime if i'm taking the beer seriously.

Kai · Mar 13, 2008

Duvel tulip.
Trois Pistoles goblet.
Chouffe . . . glass.
Miscellaneous curvy pint-pilsner-wheat-everything glass.

And, for the wacky value, we have Pauwel Kwak.

I bought my brother a set for Christmas.
Liked the idea of them (rim bead, laser etch on bottom) and they seem to do the job.

Indeed!

Always good when one of your favorite bands makes a pint glass. This purchase happened when I went on ween.com druck after an all day bbq a few years ago.

Filled with a Rogue Blackened Brutal Bitter clone I made a few months back.

Shaggy · Mar 19, 2008

A bit OT...but are there any specific sites you all use to buy specialized glasses etc?
I was just browsing about for a drinking horn...and came across this place fwiw...

DeathBrewer · Mar 19, 2008

John's Grocery has some good stuff...it's where i ordered many of my glasses, including my Piraat:

they ship beer, too

I've ordered from them many times when i'm visiting family in Iowa.

carnevoodoo · Mar 20, 2008

My favorite tulip is my duvel tulip. It is heavy and a good size and I love it.

I like my ommegang goblets a lot because they're sort of defective. They lean a little bit and it just seems like they were made by hand.

For when I feel like drinking more, I also have a 1 liter paulaner stein that I drink out of.

Liquidicem · Mar 20, 2008

I've never really thought about drinking from anything but a standard pint glass. Does the glass really effect head retention or anything, or does it just help it look awesome? I'll have to look into this

You can't imagine.
I hardly even use a pint any more...except for mixed drinks. The thin glass at the top of some of the more "Wine like" ware makes for a world of difference in your brew. It changes the way the aroma reaches your nose, as well as some sort of magical mental...thing...that makes you think..."HAY This is the Really Good Stuff that I MADE" Ya, It's pretty important. Because of this, I would hope to NEVER drink from a bottle again.

Nice glass and great band. :mug:

I got a little buzzed last night taking these

First 2 ESB about 2 months in the bottle. Anyone know what the SQHM over 0,5l means?

Third and forth are of the doublebock I brewed last summer .

weetodd · Mar 23, 2008

Apparently the "Q" is an "A" and it stands for SAHM (Sahm-Rastal) - a manufacturer of glassware. So it's just the brand.
