The glasses you use for drinking your brews

[Mishraile]

I try to get one or two of every shape and size. Sometimes I choose them on how I feel, sometimes I choose them on the style of beer. My 3 favorites right now are a 10 oz Glass Stein from the South Pacific my Sister gave me (its just fun), a LARGE Thistle glass goblet (great for nice beers that need some air), and my Martin Luther Sin Boldly Pint glass.

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.

We have a cabinet full of 16oz beer glasses from a lot of different breweries since we live by a bar with 48 taps and they give them to us for free, but I always use these Sam Adams' glasses for any IPA/Pale/Lager I drink. They are the best glass you can use for these types. For heavier porter/stoudts I use a snifter type glass.

For fathers day I was givin a big hand crafted mug from the local arts festival. It's not like pottery, it has a more coarse texture (you can see the texture on the bottom, and the rest of the mug is glazed) and it is kiln fired. It appeals to the primal beer drinker in me. Oh, and it holds 25oz. Even better!

Ive been looking for the big schooner style glasses. They look like giant glass goblets. Anyone know where to pick some of those up at?

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.

I don't use frosty mugs. The frost melts into the beer and it makes the beer too cold to enjoy the various flavors.

 

[SC_Ryan]

I prefer a stemless wine glass.

 

[Jhoss]

Very nice Pilsner - but not large enough (gotta find something to complain about).

and number two...my "go to" a Georgie Schooner NewCastle glass = just right! Here it is holding a hydrometer sample.

I really like the nonic pint glasses, but dont' always want to drink an imperial pints worth. I really like the nonic pint glasses that Russian River serves as it feels about like 16oz, but I haven't been able to find any for sale yet.

I have a pretty good selection of pint glasses, imperial nonics, tulips and wheat beer glasses

I almost forgot to mention that there's nothing better for cheap german beer than Das Boot!

These are my two favorite ones:

 

[Mishraile]

Ooooh, I do like that Dogfish head one. I need to order a new one, my old one broke.

 

[jonmohno]

The pint is a good all around goto glass the pilsner glass is more of a on ocassion or for lighter ales or lagers kind of glass like pilsner/wheatbeer or whatnot. I get bored though and as much as i like that SA glass I dont like drinking out of it all the time same with tulips unless I have a very aromatic beer.I tend to favor my tulip pub pint SS glass more often as well as the standard pint ,often just a mug,or my generic coke glass shaped glass. Pint glasses are nice for session beers also.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

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.

I don't like either of those glasses.

They're empty!

 

[JDFlow]

American pints for most. Snifter for the bigger brews.

Don't forget to spin it when the bubble comes!

 

[downtown3641]

I have various types of glasses, including a boot that a received as a gift for being in a wedding. I've found that my favorites are snifters, tulip glasses, the Sam Adams perfect pints, and any curved glass that is larger than the volume of beer I'm consuming. I used to hate using a 16 or 20 ounce glass for 12 ounces of beer, but I've found that they work wonders for concentrating aromas.

I also have more shaker pints than I could ever dream of using. I need to clear some out of the cabinet.

 

[Barnstormer]

This is my stone mug. It actually keeps the beer quite cold.

 

[Rocky71]

I like the Sam Adams glasses with the etching on the bottom but I most often drink my beer out of mason jars. I could care less what people think about it. I prefer them. I may be a beer snob but I am not a glass snob.

You must tell me where I can get this:

why do you freeze you glasses? Don't you want to be able to taste the beer?

 

[TheMan]

I'm a glass snob...why not get the most out of your beer? There are different shaped glasses for a reason. My favorite is the Goblet, which doesn't really get much use till fall/winter. Least favorite is the Pilsner glass.

Do your homebrew some justice and serve it right I say.

Here's one of the Russian River nonic pints, don't ask me how I got it, it's about 10oz. Perfect for sampling or if you want less than the normal 20oz.

 

[Bear419]

ball basin jars are awesome!

hipster!

 

[DangerRoss]

Custom etched pint glasses from the SWMBO!

 

[duckmanco]

I like the standard Belgian stemmed tulip that most of the breweries put their logo on, all beers seem to come alive in that glass regardless of style. However, if people are over, and I'm not in a position to pay a lot of attention to the beer, then regular pint glasses do just fine. Those Sam Adams glasses look awesome, and I really need some.

I agree. If it's just me and another person drinking, I'll use appropriate glasses. But if it's several friends over, we all use pint glasses.

And on the rare occasion I host a party...they get red solo cups lol.

I was thinking it was between 12 - 16oz and would be kinda surprised if it was really 10oz, have you measured it? . I never really felt right about walkin away with one, maybe next time I'm in there I'll buy a couple.
