This or one of a few other German steins. Depending on if I need a cover or not. This one amuses me.

I have tons of favorites.

IPA glass for IPAs, stout glass for stouts, Dogfish glass for most inbetweens and tulip/chalice for beligians.

 

[Schmoltsbeer]

I love beer. The Container makes a difference, but not usually enough to change my satisfaction. I most often drink out of a standard pint glass, though .5 liter mugs are often employed as well as some glasses that my wife had made for me.

Hard to beat the Imperial Pint. God save the Queen!

 

[BrianGee]

My favorite is my Libbey thistle glass.

Not sure what's up with the high price, must be in limited stock. I've bought two, under half that price both times.

A tulip glass is very nice, much like a wine glass, the stem allows you to enjoy your beer without warming excessively because you can hold the stem. Though admittedly you might look a bit of a snob due to froo-froo (yet functional) glassware.

I err towards eccentric with the horn. Though a drinking vessel made from the skull of a foe is ideal it's rather frowned upon by law enforcement these days.

F yeah!

 

[FloppyKnockers]

My Dodgers pint glass because go Dodgers.

 

[applescrap]

I almost always use one of these two. I have other styles as well, but these are the favorites.

I also have started collecting glassware along with this hobby. I try to drink from the appropriate glass.

The first present my wife gave me when we started dating is a Bavarian pilsner glass with my initial on it. That one's special.

I love the New Belgium stemmed glasses. I came across a few dozen at a thrift store and got some for lots of friends and kept one myself. I don't use standard shaker pints any more. If I'm having a Brittish beer it goes in a nonic pint glass or tulip pint (curvy Guinness style). I picked up some Sam Adams glasses and those are sort of general purpose. I've got some Chimay goblets and Stella Artois chalices (free!) and some mugs and steins and even some cut crystal steins from my grandfather-in-law. I also have a Weyerbacher thistle glass and a yard glass-ish thing with stand (I guess it's really a foot glass). That reminds me--I have das boot, too.

Toe down.

Isn't that cheating?

 

[GrainToGlass]

Tulips are my go-to. Easy to hold/drink/wash, great presentation, and captures aroma/nose very well.

 

[NatureOfTheYeast]

I'm a flip flopper. Generally I gravitate towards the tulip shaped, but I've been known to use style-specific glassware.

The most frequently used:

All from Dollar Tree. Been using the one in the middle exclusively for the past couple of weeks. Kinda teku-esque, and beer looks great in it.

I also have a boatload of branded and brewery glassware, but after breaking so many, I only whip them out when having the beer they were designed for. Dollar store glasses are my daily fare.

I've been eyeing the Spiegelau IPA glasses, but I hear some pretty polarizing opinions about them and I wonder if they're worth it at $20 a pair.

Is that orange juice?

 

[odorf]

Is that orange juice?

[cubalz]

Whichever one gets the beer to my mouth.

Lately I find myself often reaching for a Sierra Nevada pint glass I have like the one pictured below, although mine has their logo etched on the outside instead of printed, and it has a hop cone etched in the bottom of the inside to release carbonation

But for everything else (including beer sometimes), my go-to is unquestionably a Kleen Kanteen stainless steel pint. I got it at a music festival where you paid $6 for the pint cup and $5 for beer tickets (some awesome breweries were there) and just refilled your pint cup for the duration of the festival (4 days). Since then I take this cup with me EVERYWHERE and drink ANYTHING out of it (except hot liquids, ouch!). It has been dropped countless times on countless surfaces and it just keeps on rockin and rolling.

 

[ScrewyBrewer]

The cold one, in my hand, filled with my favorite beer.

 

[hunter_le five]

Nonics, tankards, and steins.

 

[Zekk]

I have several stiens that I love, just rarely use them so I can't break them. Usually I use a shaker pint or a short drinking glass that's not quite a stemless wine glass.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I've got quite a few different glasses of various styles. There's some specialty glasses I break out for certain styles (stange for Kölsch and Altbier, Weizen glass for...Weizens, lidded stoneware stein glass mug, both approx 0.5L, for Oktoberfest, a horn that I have yet to use for mead, etc), but I tend to fall back on either an Imperial nonic pint for most beers, a 16 oz tulip, or an Imperial pint snifter. Most of the rest of my glasses (chalices, goblets, shaker pints, flutes, pilsner glasses, and so on and so forth, some branded, some not) stay in the cabinet.
