The glasses you use for drinking your brews

[jarrodaden]

Which of these would you use to drink your brews? It seemed like an obvious choice to me, but my girlfriend disagreed. Fortunately for me, she doesn't pick what I buy for my place.

The one on the right looks like it holds more beer, more beer is a good thing

 

[pm5k00]

I have about 7 or 8 different styles of glassware depending on the style of beer I am drinking.

I have both and tend to use the pint glass most of the time. It just feels right.

Lol. I didn't even think of that, but a good point.

 

[codycodycody]

The big one is for cheap beer at restaurants. .

Same Here.

Although I do have a bunch of pints kicking around from various places, makes it easy to identify your beer if everyone has their own logo

I'm a pint glass kinda guy, I like the Imperial pints. As the night of drinking goes on the bump helps the drunk guy (me) not drop his beer.

Sam Adams makes a perfect pint glass. It is in fact perfect. I rarely use anything else. I've even gifted them to friends I trend to drink with the most so that I can utilize the glass when I am over at their place.

 

[Gear101]

I like the american on the right, I should, I only have 30 of them. Plus some others bt that is normally what I drink out of.

 

[SledgeH]

I like to defy gravity by drinking it sideways too...

So perfect it even holds the beer when you tip it 90-degrees ...

 

[thetragichero]

after buying nonic imperial pints, i won't ever go back to the 'american pint' glasses (except for the rare mixed drink) for my ales
kolsch will be drank out of kolsch glasses, belgians/barleywines out of a snifter

 

[jarrodaden]

Now that a few people have weighed in....

I rarely ever am successful in fitting an entire bottle of beer into a standard pint. If I do, it has a suckish head or is likely to get sloshed out when I stumble into someone.

I like having a little empty space at the top of my glass.

Ball basin jars are awesome!

 

[alexdagrate]

My local albertson's had tons of duvel glasses for a buck a piece. I bought ten of them.

I know they're meant for a specific style, but I like them for everything!

That's my glass of choice as well.

Hey I guess that depends on how stressful my work day was???

Ahhh seriously I worked at a bar in college I have a freezer full of glassware, I use it because I've had it for years and it was free.

 

[Jeepinctbrewer]

Love this glass

 

[landshark]

Lately I've been using a lot of these. I don't like doing dishes and was tired of washing all the glass.

 

[ktblunden]

My wife and I collect a pint glass from each brewery we visit. We've got a lot of standard American pints, but if they have an imperial nonick pint that's the one I get and that's the one that gets the most use. I've also got a really nice crystal Deschutes tulip I use for Belgians, barleywines, and imperial stouts.

Frozen glasses? Don't like tasting that delicious beer your worked so hard to make eh?

My least favorite glasses in my collection are the ones like the OP's picture on the right. Partly due to not taking them into consider when building my tap box. They're too tall for my taps, but also because they don't fit very well in the cupboards. I prefer a Tulip, my TapRoom galsses, a Sam Adams, and then an American Pint.

Reminds me of



I have four Sam's perfect pints and two Weizen glasses.

Mostly these

Love them! the tulip holds the aromas so nicely, and the laser etched hop at the bottom keeps the head alive! I also have a smaller tulip shaped Kaiser beir glass for 12 oz beers.

 

[Magnanamous]

Take away my man card, but collecting cool glassware is a big part of the fun in this hobby.

 

[onthekeg]

I have this one for most evenings. I only have a beer or 2.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I just go with the clean one.

 

[Tiber_Brew]

I have my options, and chose based on beer style or volume that the glass holds. I also have a separate cupboard filled with pint glasses, and a shelf next to my main kegerator stocked with pint glasses.

We have a whole display cabinet full of beer glasses we have acquired, mostly through pint nights (buy the beer, keep the glass). We also have half a kitchen cabinet full of more glasses. We are quickly running out of room but can't help ourselves. We are going to have to buy a second display cabinet just to have room for the future. Most are pint glasses but we have all kinds of goblets, snifters, chalices, etc. but we normally use the pint glasses.

Freezing all your glassware?
