What's your favorite drinking glass type?

[nukebrewer]

Nine times out of ten I'm using one of my tulip glasses. Occasionally I'll use a British pub glass and very rarely, when drinking German beers, I'll use my German stein or a pilsner glass.

I like the Stella chalice...the shape at the top of the glass does a nice job holding the head. And I get to use the word "chalice" I don't drink Stella though...and I have not found a way to get the logo off the glass.

Try the dishwasher. It stripped the Guinness logo off my stout glass (before I heard the dishwasher was bad of course)

I prefer a small fishbowl I got at dollar store

Would leaded glass be an issue with antique beer glassware?

 

[hoppyhoppyhippo]

I think what I'd want to get eventually to enjoy all my beers in is one Sam Adams glass and one Chimay. Both are laser etched in the bottom so they continually release aromas, I'd want the Sam for just generic Lagers and Ales but the Chimay for belgians and strong ales like barleywines and things of that nature.

Sipping an ESB out of an old mug from my great grandfathers depression era
bar.
I feel connected to my family beer history today.
Lead be damned to hell!

I use a snifter.

I like the Sam Adams glass, or a tulip, though I use my fair share of your run of the mill pint glasses. As long as it has beer in it, I probably won't complain. I do find myself looking at different glasses and the beers within them and criticizing, just a little bit

I would have to say 90% of my beer glasses are from antique, consignment or Goodwill type stores. All different shapes, sizes, and all different logos (no contemporary pints though). The only new ones I have are from New Glarus and Fat Tire.

Snifter/SS tulip pub. And a generic coke style-shape glass. I like using the snifter for anything hoppy I havent tried yet,otherwise if I had it already I may get out the ol standby pint glass mainly. I mainly will drink out of the suggested drinkware per style,but like to change it up alot the time. The pint is a nice goto glass if I cant decide and just want to taste a good tasting beer.

I have what I would call a classic beer mug that holds about 10 oz that I love. I also use a Mason jar stolen from a Bloomington bar quite a bit.

My personal preference. When I got married each of my groomsmen got one.

Used to have a couple of those and it was pretty funny handing a full one to someone, that has never used one before, so that they're drinking it in the same orientation as in that picture. Once they hit that certain level of beer in the glass and the air suddenly rushes in to displace the fluid from the front of the ankle to toes area and it catapults the remaining beer out with quite an explosive force, all over the unwitting victim:fro:

I mainly drink my homebrew from a Pilsener glass. Really like the way they channel the CO2, retain head and the way they showcase the colour/clarity of my beers. Either that or a snifter.

 

[eyebrau]

I don't get too nerdy about it, but I do try to drink from the glass appropriate to style when possible. I am moving away from the shaker (standard pint glass from everywhere) and prefer something that curves to allow head formation and nose.

 

[diptherunner]

Love this glass. I think it's a vase, but I still love it!

 

[arturo7]

full or nearly full

 

[stevo4361]

I'm digging the vase, will have to see if the wife has one similar. Mostly drink from a pint or flute glass, or my Sam Smiths glass.

 

[Rowdy]

my normal home glass is a sam adams sensory 22, my at work standby is a dimpled mug with killians logo. my second home standby is a stemmed tulip for belgians wheats etc..

 

[ForrestWoods]

Very, very rarely use any of the logo pints I own (except my "what jersey drinks" flying fish pint) goto is either my duvel tulip or DFH snifter

 

[Oldskooler]

Luv the vase very cool

 

[mindcrime]

British pint or GTFO. Best drinking vessel ever created by man. Heavy glass, but not obnoxiously heavy. Thumb bump to keep it in your hand and not on the floor when you maybe had a few (too many?) Stamped with the queens measurement. Rough bottom to release carbonation. Easily stackable for convenient storage. Inexpensive, and (relatively) easy to find in case of breakage. Holds an imperial pint, so pouring a homebrew, even an overcarbed one is not a problem.

Has nobody around here seen Beerfest!? :rockin:

 

[OrdinaryAvgGuy]

I keep a rotation of 12 oz Mason jars in my freezer. They are durable less than $1 each.

 

[herc1354]

Anything clean that will hold beer, but if given a choice a tall .5L Pilsner glass is my fave

 

[NervousDad]

I love the Sam Adams glass, I drink just about all of my beers from it.

 

[MoPhunk]

Snifter or tulip.
