Let's talk beer glasses...

[Kayos]

What is the name of this glass? Or can you post a link?

Here is the order form from Sam Adams.com glass

It is hilarious that they are selling them for $30 when BevMo has them for $2.50 right now...

Where do you live? We don't have BevMo here....

Those glasses seem kind of gimmicky but I still want some.

Same here...where are they listed on the BevMo site? I didnt see them?

I can't find them either. I even called BevMo just now and they don't know what I'm talking about.

If you guys who have a BevMo close, could you grab a SKU # from the glass? The lady said if we had that we could order them from the website.

$2.50 for those is well worth taking a flyer on getting some of those shipped to me. :rockin:

I have couple of those a nieghbor gave me from Czeck. Its amazing how small 500ml looks in those. A lot of North AMerican beer glass styles are really menat to deceive the eyes into thinking that 12oz glass is really a a pint.


My other favorite Imperial Pint glass is :

Sadly...that one is empty.

If you guys want, I'll go there today (Santa Clarita, Ca.) and get a sku. If you can't find them around you, I'll buy as many as y'all want and ship them for ya at cost. Every glass in BevMo is always 2.50, so I usually pick out a few every time I go. Right now they even have their 5cent wine sale so the stemless wine glasses are buy one get one for 5 cents.

Oh, bummer, I have to go get some good beer today . I don't know how you guys make it without a BevMo closeby. Awesome prices, and REAL beer.


Then again, I have no LHBS close by.......my bad, you win

I have GOT to buy some more pint glasses. Down to 3. Between drunk friends dropping them, dishwasher, cat knocking them off counter........ *sigh*

I got one of the glasses you're looking for from Northern Brewer, it's a Samuel Smith logo glass, but has that imperial pint shape. I wanted one bad enough to overpay, but I do enjoy it and right now use it to drink all beer other than hefeweisse.
My favorite glass is also an Ayinger, but it's a weizen glass.
If you come up with that BevMo info please do post, but also, please post the website, I'm not familiar with them.

I don't think that is it....but not positive.

We are still talking about the new Sam Adams specially designed glass, right? The one pictured earlier in this thread, right?

That is the major benefit to Plastic. I honestly don't notice a difference from drinking out of glass or the Target plastic glasses. I have to remember what type of plastic they are...

 

[Brewnurse]

Just checked with the Bevmo next to me, and no luck. The manager said that he wouldn't have them , if he would have them at all, until June or July. Sorry! But I did get some Rougue Dead Guy Ale!

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Here's my problem with plastic beer glasses...I'm always expecting the heft of a 'glass' glass and when they're plastic I almost throw my beer over my head.

A word of warning to you guys on the Sam Adams glass, Jim Koch had them especially designed for drinking Sam Adams Boston Lager (there was a whole article on it somewhere). The whole point is that the shape of the glass affects the way the beer tastes. Not that it will make a huge difference, but Jim warns that they are only designed for Sam Adams (what an EAC).

 

[DeathBrewer]

some glasses really do make a difference but, lol, i think a "warning" is a little much.

tulips, chalices, thistles, they'll all give you different taste and some are even necessary considering the head you will get. For instance, pouring a triple into a pint glass could give you nothing but head, unless it's done very slowly and carefully, and even then it's not the ideal glass.

But the sam adams glass will be pleasant to drink any lager, pilsner, kolsch, light ale, etc. it's look is mostly aesthetic. srlsy

How much of that do you think is marketing though?

I do believe some of the points he raises about the glass--the ridged bottom will facilitate release of carbonation, the wide rimm will facilitate the beer to breathe...but I think most of that is phooey.

Jim Koch is a marketing genius, obviously.

 

[DeathBrewer]

yeah, cuz sam adams is really not that great of beer and they seem to do very well

 

[Kayos]

Correct. I will try to get back there this week and let you guys know...

I recently found cheap nonic pints! They're at a restaurant supply company in Columbus, Ohio named Wasserstraum.
http://www.wasserstrom.com/locator.asp

Go to the link and the third Columbus location on Broad Street is a Wasserstraum's clearance warehouse. This is where I got them. I don't know what their shipping policy is but it never hurts to ask. I got mine for 50 cents a pint. I bought 20 about two weeks ago becuase they were so cheap and they're brand new. The pints are made by Arcoroc out of France. This is stamped on the bottom of the glass.

Hope this helps. Note that the staff there is hit or miss. You may get someone who is really helpful and will try to track down what you're looking for, and you may get Mr. PITA. Depends on the day. If you get Mr PITA, maybe call back the next day when he's not working. Cheers.

 

[Dude]

[homebrewer_99]

Leave it to Jim Koch (or one of his minions) to take the beer glass to another level.

Yup, totally sweet glass, I really like it. Buy them when ordering other stuff, or the shipping ends up being a bit heavy...

I have a dozen Ravenhead "nonic" style pint glasses that SWMBO gave me for my birthday several years ago. They make me very happy.

Also, I'm a Raven's fan, so that works for me too.
