If only one beer glass...

[t_met]

I've decided it's time to take the next step in beer glasses. I'm retiring all of my various "pint" glasses with breweries and think it's time that I get a set of glassware that is can be used for beer and nonbeer (think kid's juice)

To be honest, the typical "pint" glass isn't an ideal beer glass. I find it sucks with aroma.


If you were going to outfit your kitchen/bar with one and only one style glassware, what would you choice? The pilsner? British imperial pint? Stange? Snifter?

That Sam Adams glass is my go-to. Problem is, I can't get it without the Sam Adams livery on it, or else I'd have a dozen.

 

[jra146psu]

That. Nice glass for water, juice or beer.

 

[SLRSLY]

My personal favorite.

 

[Calder]

I use stemmed tulip glasses for 12 ozs bottles (think Duvel style glass), and 32 ozs stemmed Pinot glasses for Bombers and the like.

I like imperial pints for general use, but I'd have to have some tulips/snifters on hand as well.

I have some stemless wine glasses that are awesome for beers. They really look/act almost like a tulip.
Kinda like the stuff on here.

Maybe some will shun me and say THEY ARE GODDAMN WINE GLASSES!! =P But I don't care, they work.

spiegelau tulip glasses. About $20 for 2 but well worth it.

A glass that can be used for anything????

I have a half dozen of these among many other glasses, and I reach for them often - this is a nice style and could be used for lots of other beverages too.

I like chalice/goblet/snifter/tulip type glasses when I am assessing a beer.

 

[unionrdr]

I like nonicks,but the shaker glasses are sturdier.

 

[DrunkleJon]

+1 on Nonicks. Otherwise I like a pint glass with a thick wall and a hefty base like the ones the Braufessor linked.

Ladies pint my arse...

I bought a case of british half-pints and I love them. Great for tasting and drinking higher ABV beers. You can always pour more...

This is always my go to glass.

Those have been on my "buy" list for quite a while. Hard to convince the boss we need MORE beer glasses, though. For now I like this "skinny" nonic from Avery, love the half pints as well.

 

[Braufessor]

Yep - love the imperial pints too. That is one of the 3 styles I usually reach for. The one you linked in your post is the second, and this one is the third that I really like - mainly for my lagers:

I love those pub glasses. One of our local breweries serves all their pints in those.

 

[MNDan]

My go to glass - heavier duty, holds a fair amt, has the etching in the bottom for bubbles...

This is always my go to glass.

Beauty.

I have the Libbey 6-piece variety pack (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006PKHD9U/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) that I got as a gift from my lady wife. At first I mostly used the tulip and the nonic, but I find myself drifting more toward the Pilsner glass. Never drink pilsners, but I think it's quite attractive and I like the way it "shotguns" aroma into my nose.

Found a new-style Boulevard Smokestack glass that I didn't know I had.

Hooray for moving! But seriously, I am looking forward to drinking out of that glass in a few days.

 

[SewerMan]

I use Thermos stainless vacuum jacketed pint glasses. Beer stays cold, even outside on a hot day. Ice water doesn't make the glass sweat. In south Florida the not sweating part is worth it alone.

Imported from Japan.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

which ever glass is full. that will be my favorite.

 

[Eugenio]

Love this thing, love it. If anything id like for it to be a tad larger to hold 16 oz.

 

[danielofthedale]

This is always my go to glass.

This style would be my go to. I like to rotate my glasses and use proper style but I will go to this one more often than not and if I could only keep one glass this would be the one.

They do make the larger size.

I love my various stem/tulip glasses. I use them more than my pint glasses, and my pints are regulated mostly to water and soda use. Still love all my glasses, but tulip ones win out above all.
