Early Glassware Retirement Thread (another one bites the dust)

What the F? Dish washer?

Nah. Just a ****** batch of glasses that the paint didnt stick to. I noticed it the first time I washed it that I couldnt apply any pressure or friction to the outside of it otherwise pieces of the lettering lifted right off.

Its happened one other time to me with an OG pegs cantina snifter

My wife once put a glass that had a metallic logo on it in the dishwasher....

... it came out as clean as a whistle as an unbranded beer glass... lol. Literally no trace of the logo. I just laughed.

I think my wife and stakem ’s wife might be the same person. She’s broken 3 of my HF Balloon stems, my Khunnen Tulip (which was my favorite glass ever) and one of the original Mother Earth Tulips that I loved. She’s also broken 7 nice red wine glasses

I no longer allow her to do anything with glasses except drink out of them.

I can send you one for a label if you want, I never use mine.

That's very nice of you but I should really take it as a sign that i need to pare down the glassware anyway. Find myself using a willi almost exclusively these days anyway

Broke one of these recently, it slipped while drying and the rim caught the edge of the counter.
One of the sturdiest glasses I owned too.

Thanks for the offer! I still have a different one that i'll have to dust off and start using again.

Be nice to your glasses for you never know when they'll leave you

Is that the teku? I've got one that SwoldierBoiTellEm generously gave me that I don't really use any more. Yours for a label if you want a replacement.

I've only ever traded for one beer glass: TalkBeer b2 intihar tulip. I've also only ever broken one beer glass: TalkBeer b2 intihar tulip. So I guess the lesson is not to trade for glassware?

Had to say goodbye to a good glass today. I received this snifter in one of my first BIFs ever, probably more than five years ago. At some point early on it developed a tiny crack in the back that has slowly spidered ever since but never leaked. Until today, when it lost a diamond shaped piece as I was washing it.

Maybe I'll keep it as a pitcher?


Farewell sweet glass, your time on Earth was too short!

Dude you should definitely shotgun a BA Fremont pour at least once from that to pay tribute.

I like it. Side pour to the face!

This is the correct answer.

Busted my Crooked Stave 2013 Cellar Reserve Teku last night. Haven't had a Crooked Stave beer in forever, not even upset.

This is one of my favorite threads even though I get a pang of dread every time I see a notification. I like this entry

Wife broke my proper glassware willi. Used that thing all the time. Oh well.

And that’s why I stocked up when they had their fire sale. PM your digits and a fresh proper will be on its way.

Seriously, don’t make me go behind your back and secretly send you one. Bought like 6 because they were only $5, them and the strange glasses, just to give away to peeps who don’t have them or wife desecrates.

Want mine?

Toss in one of those barrel aged stouts CS released a bit ago and you got a deal!

This is why I can't have nice things. Dammit I am going to be depressed all weekend
