So I've decided I'd like to have a few very nice beer glasses on hand, as a step up from my usual commercial pint glasses. (which I have a ton of... I literally buy them by the gross (cases of 144) because I use them instead of the ubiquitous red Solo cups at parties, to class up the joint) These would be for me and my wife, mostly, but also when entertaining another couple of two. So I'd be buying 4-6 max.
Thing is, storage space is tight. (Most of the pint glasses live in a box in the garage until there is a large party)
I don't really drink Pilsners, Lagers, or IPAs so I don't really care about them. A pint glass will do for those.
I have a set of 4 very nice tulip glasses for my Belgians already. So really, I'm just looking at something special for stouts, porters, and wheat beers. (unless I'm missing something important?)
Spiegelau makes some really nice looking stout glasses. They also make some nice wheat beer glasses. Thing is, the two seem quite similar. So I'm wondering if I can make do with just buying one or the other? (probably the stout, since I drink more of that)
I'm curious about people's opinion on what the real-world differences is between the two. Seems to me I could buy one or the other and just use it for both, and it would be nearly as good? Is there any real reason to buy both, other than trying to get things that last .01% better?
