Tribute to a broken glass.

[winstonofbeer]

Last night, I accidentally bumped the table and my trusty 23oz personalized beer glass fell over and broke. Thankfully it was empty.
I have to say, I am a little sad. I have used that same glass almost every night since x-mas. Yes it got cleaned.

That glass has done a lot of work, A lot of gallons of beer has been drank from it.

So what is a ample tribute to a broken glass?



I hope you dont think i am completely off my rocker....

name your next brew after it? Call it 24oz memories. And only drink it 24oz at a time. No pint glasses or single servings

I lost my favorite glass nearly 2 years ago now when a drunken friend tripped over it in the backyard. It was empty and sitting on the paving stones next to my chair. Mostly my fault but devastating nonetheless. It was a stolen 20oz. brewmaster's club glass from Alcatraz Brewing in OC.

I didn't have a tribute to it then nor do I have one for you now, but I do want to share my heartfelt sympathies. I feel your pain...

Get another one and name it "Glassy II"

I would suggest a mournful drinking ballad, in the Irish tradition ... something like:

O vessel clear, with name inscribed
From which my brew I oft imbibed;
From me too soon your life was took
When clumsily, the table I shook.

I miss your sides, I miss your rim,
I miss the lace upon your brim,
I miss the feel of my glass complete
And filled with lager, stout or wheat.

Perhaps, someday, I will replace
Your perfect sides, your perfect base;
But for today, I mourn the loss -
Into the bin, your shards I toss.

RIP

not bad at all

i hate breaking glasses - I got two glasses from a brewpub a couple years back, loved those glasses, they were a bit more "voluptuous" than your standard pilsner style glass and really fit my hand well. broke them both within a week this past winter. stupid new house has crooked counters apparently.

Or maybe someone got jealous of you fondling your beer all the time.

Yeah. It was an inspiring story ...

This is why I am looking for a big double walled stainless steel beer stein. I can use it anywhere including parks and beaches. I love my glass but all glass can never be truly owned, only used for awhile before it is destroyed...and only in certain areas...

Poetic, man. Truly poetic.

I hate when I break my favorite beer glass, it pisses me off really bad.

Lost 2 Stone pint glasses in my latest move...not to clumsiness, but because I couldn't find the bastards (no pun intended) before moving.

And you can't get them anymore, by the way.

Thanks for the poem.
At least i know i am not completely off my rocker for being upset about the glass breaking.

Thinking i am going to make a beer for it soon. I liked that idea of a nice brew that only gets drank 24oz at a time.
Thinking something different. Maybe a black IPA.

Weird thought, Oatmeal Stout IPA...Then again....That might be to weird.
