Beer serving glasses

[C-Rider]

Just curious, what type of container do you serve your guests' beer in. I have my first batch about to be ready in 3 weeks and plan to have a handful of folks come over for a sampling of my first batch. I'm considering purchasing customized pint glasses with my name and logo. A bit cheezy? What do you think?

Everyone in the neighborhood has dogs and so there are always some flys around. So when we drink outside the beer is served in mugs w/covers that I ordered from the mainland but were made in Germany. Printed on the mugs in German is: In heaven there is no beer, so I drink mine here.

In doors I have some nice glasses from a few brewery's.

I could stock a small bar with the number of shaker pints I own. I recently cleared a bunch out of my cupboard and now have a large plastic tote filled with glasses in my basement. I have a lot of various other glassware as well: tulips in various shapes and sizes, snifters, goblets, pilsner glasses, kolsch glasses, imperial pints, liter mugs, a glass boot, Sam Adams perfect pints, DFH curved pints, weizen glasses. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Most were acquired through Steal the Glass nights, but I like to purchase glasses when I visit breweries as well.

Brewery Rule #5:

No Drinking From Plastic Glasses

We have an assortment. When we have a lot of friends over for a brew day, we have lots of traditional pilsner glasses including some small (5 oz) ones. We also have some mugs including one traditional GastHaus 1 Litre one. We also have an assortment of micobrew glasses. My own personal favorite is an English Pub 1 imperial pint glass.

I run a small eBay business and run into trays of different beer glasses usually for $1-3 per tray. If you like auction hunting, its been great to me

I've never been much of a mug guy - I tend not to buy mugs unless that's the only option when I visit a brewery... And unique beer glasses are... Well... Unique, and so hard to come by. There are definitely more options out there now than in the past, however. At least in the US microbrewery experience.

Here's one of my favorites... A Rastal Teku 2.0 from Three Floyd's. Wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but the rim almost nestles the lower lip when drinking... I mean, it's almost comfortable to drink out of this glass. There's something to be said about that!

Saw the Niners glass so had to take a picture of the new glass I picked up for the game Sunday. RAVENS all the way

It's a2zantiques but I have never sold any of the glasses I find. I have a problem. I know that and so does my wife

I have an obscene amount of brewery glasses. I have some favorites though for home brew. Any of my stemmed beer glasses, which I have 3 Ommegangs, a Weyerbacher (my personal favorite as a Tulip glass) a Corsendonk, 2 35th Anniversary Stuff yet Face glasses and a Magic Hat something or the other.

I'm not a fan of sharing something I love so much in shaker glasses. Something that actually holds head and aromas in instead of letting them escape all willy nilly. That said I love my shakers for display, but I prefer the beer specific glasses, like pilsner glasses, pub glasses, etc. Shakers are great for water, for mixed drinks, tea, etc. And they'll do in a pinch for beer. But I'm a sucker for beer specific glasses.

For my own tasting I want to get this LINK

I got one of these and right after noticed glasses everywhere for cheaper like 2 dollars a glass

Yeah they're pretty decent glasses. I purchased 4 sets of them about 2 years ago. I was going to give the as Xmas gifts to my beer drinking buddies, but kept them all! I couldn't help myself, I got them for right at 50% off. I regret not purchasing all 10 that were available. I could have Ebayed the other 6 sets and made my money back!

I like them much more than the tall Pilsner glasses I got from Ikea a several years back. Those things are so fragile that I rarely use them. I tipped an empty one over in the sink and it shattered. It didn't even fall all the way to the bottom of the sink, it just hit the side.

Back when I bought my first bottle of Rye-on-Rye, I ordered a single (what the heck was I thinking??) Smokestack tulip from Boulevard, and one of their tasting glasses. I've since picked up another smokestack, and 6 of the New Belgium glasses. Got four boxes of the Libby craft beer glasses for Christmas this year, and once my basement bar is finished (and I come up with a name for my bar/brews) I'll probably look into either etching my own glassware, or having some made. It's the little things like that that "sell" a home bar
