Cheers All Beer Glasses

brew703 · Apr 27, 2018

Received the glasses yesterday. Haven't used them yet but will try them out this weekend.
First impressions:
-Crappy packaging. the glasses are loosely packed in a box only separated by thin dividers. The glasses move around and could have easily been damaged during shipping. Luckily mine were all undamaged.
-I like the style of the glass. Fits nicely in my hand and I like the wide mouth.
-The glass itself seems to be well made. It's not thin like some glasses I've seen and not as thick as others. Pretty much in the middle which balances out the weight.
I'll update the post over the weekend after I've had a chance to use them.

My wife got me a set of Sierra Nevada Torpedo glasses at a charity auction a couple years ago. They are the same basic shape (although I don't think they will stack) with a laser etched hop at the bottom of the glass for nucleation. I LOVE them! They seem like fairly thin glass but I accidentally dropped one on the back porch and it bounced on the concrete - no damage at all!

Received the glasses last week.

-As noted above, the packaging needs to be improved to reduce/eliminate the risk of the glasses being damaged during shipping.
-The quality of the glass seems good. Not to thin or thick.
-I like the style and the way it fits in my hand. The large rim is nice but I wonder if carbonation/aroma is lost due to this.
-As for the nucleation points, yes they do work. I tried my own beer as well as a commercial beer in these glasses. I didn't get as much "bubbling" action with my beer compared to the commercial version. My beer did maintain a little "froth" on the surface but the commercial version was more. Maybe my carbonation isn't quite right (2.5 vol). Maybe the aroma is better in these glasses vs other beer glasses. I have a variety of glasses that I use. Outside of the Teku or Belgian style glass I have I can see myself using these glasses pretty much exclusively. More for the style and the way it feels in my hand more than anything else. I do believe the nucleation points do aid in aroma. Just not sure to what extent as some of the smaller rim glasses I have do maintain aroma but you need to basically stick your nose in the glass. The Cheers All glass you get the aroma while taking a sip or gulp.

At $6.16 per glass, maybe they are a bit steep but compared to the Sam Adams glasses (2 for $40) these are a bargain. It comes down to what you want. A single Cheers All glass is $12 on Amazon so it really makes no sense to buy a single when you can get 6 for $37.

At the end of the day, I'm satisfied with these glasses and glad I gave them a try.

It's kind of gimmicky. I think if you really want beer glasses, especially if serving amongst a few friends and different beer styles, you can easily buy different glasses.

I personally like the following shapes:

https://www.saveur-biere.com/en/beer-glasses/7306-teku-keep-it-craft-glass-25-cl.html

from which you can drink literally all kind of beer styles.

Teku's are the ugliest style of glass on the planet. I'll only use one if I have no other choice. There's a local place that uses them and I always request a different glass.

I think they look kinda cool but each their own i guess. Most breweries and bars I go to either use a Belgian style or regular pint glass. The pint glasses are boring but serve the purpose and are cheap.
