Correct glasses for styles

[H-ost]

I have drinking vessels made from the skulls of my enemies.

I'm not very popular, so I have a vast collection.

They make beautiful displays in the "living" room don't they.

I've been reading the "Game of Thrones" book series, and i know it sounds retarded, but i just gotta find a horn to drink my beer out of now. Seriously, drinking beer out of a horn just seems so over the top and inconvenient that it just has to be done.

yeah, you know you want one

You are in luck with Scarborough faire going on just down in Waxahachie for 2 more weekends.


PS. full horns work great at keg parties - they hold a lot more beer than the little plastic glasses if you do it right. Bonus if you are in costume around Halloween.

Sorry if this is already in the thread, but I've gotten great presents from beerables.net. Quick service & decent prices. (No, I'm not affiliated in any way, just a long time fan!)

Yeah? They sell those at the fair?
I've never been able to make myself go to one of those despite my love of big smoked turkey legs.

Hey y'all! I just got finished with this PDF this morning. I can't take credit for the content, but I will take credit for the format. This info came from Beer Advocate, I just compressed it and organized it so I could print it without taking up 13 pages. I hope it helps!

Glasses for Beer

Very cool. What are the best online vendors to buy glasses from?

Awesome job

I just found an alright selection at Pier 1. prices anywhere from 3-7 dollars. Grabbed two 23oz weizen glasses which is perfect because I bottled in 22oz bottles this time.

Go to Goodwill. You'd be surprised how many times you can find beer glasses

Currently I have one of the handblown Dos Equis glasses that I got for a pretty darn good price, and after reading this thread and looking at other links, I need to add some different glasses to my collection - that I just started like right now.

Should have quite a selection, at least they do at the other faires in the area and Scarborough is quite large.

I enjoy the faires, but not too many reasons to go unless you like drinking, eating, drinking, raunchy comedians, drinking, and cleavage. (plus shopping for the lady friends)

I just drank a rye IPA out of a dimple mug. I am so declassé......

If I ever open a brewery, I'm just going to get some mason jars and put our logo on them. Simple enough.

Why don't you just use red solo cups?

I don't care what you drink your beer out of, but I do care how I drink mine. I'm not haughty, but I am particular about food and drink. I do think the glassware has an effect on the flavor, and of course the presentation.

I'm drinking a Flanders Red out of a tulip now. Mason jar? Not for me.

ppfhhtt. red solos are for the pinky waving elitists. real keg guzzlers use old yogurt containers they dug from someone else's trash and washed clean with their dog's tongue.

For a while i was drinking everything out of a snifter.I get bored of some glasses.I dont really enjoy drinking an ipa out of a tulip everytime either,sometimes just a mug or pint,i seem to favor my coke style/shaped glass i have or the SS tulip pub pint glass.I miss the henekin tulip pub glass i had which fit a 12 oz beer better.Which probably was my favorite till it slipped.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of beer glasses in different styles and I use them all the time, but i'd like to think that if I had a brewery the beer would do the talking, and mason jars are such an iconic "laid back" southern thing... I think people would get a kick out of it.

 

[jonmohno]

They do mason jars only here at a Resturant/bar called The Rodeo which has some local beers on tap(about 36 w/commercial beers).With a riding bull and everything. Alot of southern style food and very heavy helpings as well. When i think of mason jars -i tend to think of light beers though.

for some reason i can't drink from mason jars anymore, without getting the dribble glass effect from the threads. I don't ever remember having this problem in the past, but then again i don't remember the past so well. maybe i had thicker lips back then.

Happens to me too, but i think thicker lips would just make the problem worse. We are talking about the past, so your lips were probably smaller/thinner back then, giving you a tighter seal. Either that or you just didn't give a crap about the dribbles and never made a mental note of it.

Lagunitas has mason jar-style pint glasses they had made specifically for them with their logo in the glass. The rims don't have threads. They also use 2 liter mason jars for growlers.
