The glasses you use for drinking your brews

[cossacks19]

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.

I haven't measured it (and didn't walk out with it) but its smaller than you think. I can measure it tonight and let you know. By the way you can't buy them either. The only glass they sell are the wine shaped glasses with their logo on it. Befriend one of the servers, that's my advice.

OP,

Choosing from your photo:
If I were drinking my IPA it woud be the glass on the left.
If it was my American Wheat it would be the glass on the right.

I use a standard pint glass or I use what I thought was called a pub glass (a pint glass with a bulge near the top). I keep these in the garage refrigerator, not the freezer.

If I'm trolling around the yard working on something outside, I'll use a red solo cup.

 

[Beer_Eugenics]

Half Yard. Good read also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yard_of_ale

 

[BootstrapBill]

No need for the red solo cup. I'm not a savage. Don't have to worry about knocking over a glass. I have a Deschutes tulip glass that works pretty well for the final product and a 30th Anniversary Sierra Nevada Snifter that I use for my Gravity readings.

Because the thing in the front of the pic goes on the bottom and lights up!


Those are seriously the glasses that I give buddies that I know are bound to have more than a couple... because if they drop those I won't cry.


I will cry if they drop these pint glasses...

The wife had those made for me for Christmas and I love 'em!

I'm one of those people who falls somewhere in the middle where glass is concerned. Yeah, I like glass, but it doesn't have to be expensive. I like it to be clean, but I don't obsess about that, either. We have an assortment of shaker pints (all with logos), some tulips, pilseners, a couple of those free Sam Adams glasses, and some big half-liter Spaten glasses that were cheap.

I like to drink out of this:

 

[Fennis]

I have a few others, but this is my usual glass.

 

[jkendal]

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

That's what I use when I'm in my swimming pool.

 

[jkendal]

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

Nice. I'm thinking about getting one. Where did you get yours? I bought a wooden mug at a renaissance festival back in 2000 and it keeps my beer cold like your stone mug does - kinda like a coozie. It's my favorite drinking vessel. I often take it with me when I know I'll be drinking and almost always get complements on it. I have a really nice pewter mug but rarely drink out of it because in the summer months the beer gets hot too fast and in the winter months my hands get uncomfortably cold. When I'm at home I mostly drink out of my wooden mug unless I want to see the beer, then I go for a pint glass (I have a couple dozen of them with all kinds of brewery decals and such).

X2 on custom pint glasses. These were a gift from my wife on father's day a year ago.

 

[QsnotPs]

I'm with rico567, but Red Solo Cup, it's time to party

 

[Barnstormer]

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?

Nice. I'm thinking about getting one. Where did you get yours?

Once a year the city has hundreds of vendors from all over come and set up booths. They have all kinds of arts and crafts, wood working/carving, ect. This one I got as a gift so I don't have the guys information or I'd pass it along. I would think they would have this in texas too, just keep your eyes open at them and you might find someone who does this.

Cheers!

 

[krenshaw]

+3 on the sam adams glasses.. er, +2.. used to have 3 of them but i knocked one over last time i was brewing :-( .. now i only use them inside, but they are the most comfortable to hold i've found

 

[Scooby_Brew]

I got many different types of glasses, but most often I use these, just because they fit many styles of beers and they are from a $1 Store (I go through them fast)

 

[davidr2340]

davidr2340:
You must tell me where I can get this:

I picked it up at one of my local bottle shops... It's a Duvel glass.

Here is one on eBay... It kind of expensive though!!!

 

[illini0250]

Mason jar mug. Have 5 million glasses, but the mug is the workhorse. I had to drink a pint of icehouse to get it though.

 

[tennesseean_87]

I want a tulip glass, but I'm opposed to spending money on things. I think most of my glassware roughly compliments the beers I drink, though. Here's what I've got, minus standard American pints and a few doubles of what's showing: (the taster came from a craft beer fest, the Bavarian Pilsner with a T was the first gift my now-wife gave me when we were dating, and the rest are free or from thrift stores)

Jukas, I measured the small Nonic glass last night and it hold 10oz to the top.

Wow, that's surprising especially as that's what they deliver when you ask for a pint, and charge pint prices for it while delivering 5-6oz less

Thanks for measuring that.

Russian River serves 16oz pints and what they call "half-pints" which are 10oz. That's the glass for the small one. It's what they were serving Younger in when I went in February. I asked for a small pour of Elder to compare and it came in the 10oz size. They called it a "tiny Pliny."

For reference, on their menu they charge $4.50 for a pint and $3.25 for a half-pint as seen here: http://russianriverbrewing.com/pub-menu/

Yeah, I've seen that, twice when I've been in recently I've gotten the smaller nonic pints and been charged $4.50 for them. I wasn't worried about it as I assumed it was a 14-16oz beer, and honestly the buck and a quarter difference didn't bankrupt me.

For Vinnie & Natalie's sake I hope it was honest mistakes and they don't have bartender's skimming.

My wife got me a genuine German stein for fathers day. I refuse to put it up on a shelf, so I've been using it when I'm outside as the lid keeps junk out. The taper holds aromas in quite nicely, although I can't enjoy the color. American pints and Sam perfect pints as they also hold in aroma due to the taper.

 

[mopillar]

These 2 are my go to glasses.

 

[chriscorapi]

I feel the glass on the right is a little too tall, but I do like the shape of it a lot more.

 

[Meatyboy]

24 ounce glass bar stein from Wally World. SWMBO says I'm only allowed 3 beers a day but never gave those a size limitation. I shoulda been a lawyer.

 

[jarrodaden]

Well, it handles that occasional half liter quite nicely. Also, with a long glass like that it is so much easier to make a low head pour.

 

[shizzy77]

I've got a collection of thrift store glasses. Honestly 99% of the time, I just grab whats clean and in front in the cupboard.

 

[Goose5]

Part of my collection.

In the cabinet on the wall is part of my weizen glass collection.

 

[day_trippr]

I have a crap ton of glasses acquired over the decades, including a bunch of 24 ounce mugs my boys etched my brewery logo upon. But my go-to is always one of my Sammy Perfect Pint glasses, straight from Jamaica Plain from our many trips through the brewery (plus the two I was awarded from their "Come Brew With Us" promotion).

They just feel good in my hand, and the tag line is Perfect...

Cheers!
