IMHO, plastic cups should never come in contact with any homebrew. It's showtime,,,Be proud to show off your creation(s).

Well I've got no issue with plastic cups. It's a cup. I don't care about spending the evening looking at the beer anyway. It tastes great, I get the aroma, no mess, what's the big deal?
If we're going to be drinking a few beers on the patio, no worries about them breaking anything on the concrete.
Homebrew is beer. If you can't enjoy it as a beer, you take yourself to seriously. Relax, have a homebrew.
When it gets to the point of having to feel uptight or like there are special rules as to how you can drink it, it's time to give it up and just buy your beer so that you can relax and enjoy it.

What if someone enjoys pairing their beer with appropriate glassware? I wouldn't consider that uptight. For many, presentation is part of the experience of drinking beer.

Nothing wrong with that. There's a time for everything.
As an example of uptight...
"IMHO, plastic cups should never come in contact with any homebrew. It's showtime,,,Be proud to show off your creation(s)."
I don't even care what someone else does to drink their beer.
Comments that homebrew should never touch plastic cups and needing to show it off, that's uptight.
I've got news..... It's BEER. Drink it and enjoy it.
Well,I just got a nice surprise a couple minutes ago. My son dropped by,& apparently went back to Akron again. He brought me a 4 pack of Thirsty dog's Cerberus,a nice heavy logoed pint glass,& a taster logo glass. Camera batteries are dead,so a pic will have to come later. And I was outta beer too,so this is great.

I found some Samuel Adams glasses for 1$ each at a flea market today and I bought two. Can't say I'm a fan of the Boston Lager but the glasses are nice. Lets see how long they last before they get broken. "Take pride in your beer"

I wouldn't call that uptight. It's just an opinion and, in my opinion, a valid one. I make an attempt to produce beer of a certain color. I'd like that to be apparent when it's served. Some home brewers may not care. That's fine. But, it doesn't make someone who does care uptight.

While my girlfriend and I were staying in Rochefort, Belgium back in May, the town had an outdoor flea market at which I purchased a Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA glass for the equivalent of about $3 USD. Score!
But FYI Rochefort is a dirty little town where everyone turns their nose up at you when they hear you speaking English. It's also the location of the worst hangover of my life. Several incredibly fresh Rochefort 10's, no air conditioning anywhere, tap water was nearly undrinkable, and high temps were in the low 90's that next day. Fun.

I went to my local Dollar Tree yesterday and picked up 3 each of these:
The website says 18oz, 19 oz (respectively), but both bar codes on the glasses' bottoms said 19.5 oz. Close enough for an imperial pint to me. I wouldn't mind a few more of each, but these will do for now. I wished my store had the Belgian tulips and snifters. There's a number to call if you don't see what you want, so I may give that a shot.
I wish the dollar tree up the corner from me had no nick pub glasses for a buck. I'd buy the snot outta those.
You can probably have an order sent to your local Dollar Tree, if not your house. Call this number:
1-877-530-8733
I called that number a few minutes ago as I was checking to see if I could order some Belgian tulips and/or snifters. You have to leave your name and contact info on their voice mail as they will call you back. I assumed you have to place a big order for the phone line, so I just hung up. I didn't want to waste their time for just a few glasses.
My cousin homebrews too, so I may see if he wants to go in on an order in the future. Then I'll call them back.
I have a few friends that do that all the time. Next chance, I may hit them up to tag along. I wouldn't mind some older ones for display, if I can't find what I want for use.
Good ole Dollar Tree to the rescue. Got 6 each of:
