Your one and only beer glass?

[Henry22]

Duvel tulip glass, Both American and British pint glasses.

I'd say I go to the Duvel glass most often. My favorite thing about drinking beer, is actually the beer that goes into the glass... not so much the glass I'm drinking out of.

Agreed but shape of the glass does have quite a bit of an affect on taste, mainly smell. Smell is like 25-40% of taste so glass that concentrate that like tulips are beneficial when drinking aromatic beers like IPAs. There's quite a bit of science involved in glass design. Regular American pint glasses allow a lot of that smell to dissipate.

Ever drank an IPA out of a can versus a glass. Different experiences.

Have too many to have a fav but if it came down to it it would be the duvel glass for sure!!

I usually just use a standard pint or tulip pint glass for session beers, but I have something really nice that I want to savor, the Duvel glass is my go-to as well.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Umm... yeah... you might need to downsize your drinking glass.. people might think you have a drinking problem...

the problem is my "mug" is too small! brbrbrpbpbpbptptptpttwahahahhahaha!!!

 

[thatjonguy]

But I prefer a New Belgium tulip.

 

[nukebrewer]

I have a bunch of glasses: tulips, British pint, American pint, goblets, stout glasses, even a Sam Adams I picked up on Friday. I like the SA one, though I'm not sure I would call it "the perfect pint." If I had to pick one I would probably go with a tulip glass. It's a great all purpose glass, though the wideness makes some styles look darker than they should be.

 

[ktblunden]

Yeah, I have one of the Sierra Nevada ones. Really nice drinking glass, but so damn thin, I know I'm going to break it soon.

I avoid it specifically because it feels like I'm going to break it if I look at it wrong. I have a Firestone Walker nonic that has laser etching on the bottom and honestly I don't think the SN/DFH provides that much more aroma. It definitely keeps its head forever though. Not worth the price or having to treat it so delicately.

 

[boydster]

If I could only pick one, I'd have to go with the tulip glass. I love to get my nose as close to the beer as possible when I take a sip, and the shape of the glass lets you enjoy the aroma oh so well.
If you're hard up, you can always grab some glassware from the dollar store. The glass might be a little thin, but until you can afford some nice thick beer glasses it will at least let you enjoy different styles of beer from the right kind of glass.

Aaaaannnnndddddd It's gone....

[CGVT]

I had one of these and found it was my favorite glass for almost all of my beers. Nothing fancy but for some reason I really liked it, until I broke it. Need to find another, I guess...

 

[stevo4361]

A Samuel Smith pint glass is my normal use, for Belgians a Chimay goblet I just got a bit ago. Have gotten foam in my nose from trying to smell too deeply only a couple of times...

 

[day_trippr]

Yeah, I have one of the Sierra Nevada ones. Really nice drinking glass, but so damn thin, I know I'm going to break it soon.

I have a pair of the DFH branded versions, and to be honest I've been using them almost exclusively since I got them (don't tell Koch! ) But, yes, they feel and look frail compared to the Sammy pints...

Cheers!

I find I most often use a standard American pint, though I have a killians nonick the I like. I think if I had to choose one glass, it would be my harpoon snifter, though. I've yet to find a beer I don't want to concentrate the aroma of, and it does that rather well.

 

[DrunkleJon]

British Pint Nonic is my go to glass. Otherwise I keep some thick glassed heavy mugs for guests. Then I use wine glasses for the comnplex beers.

 

[AmandaK]

Seriously? No one has the Spiegelau tulip as their #1??

It's the perfect glass for anything and everything. The fact that it doesn't warm my beer but 1-2*F over the whole course of drinking is quite astonishing.

 

[WesleyS]

I have alot of different style glasses, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be this one.




Tour glass from a local brewery.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

10oz
Heat Treated
Thick side walls
Heavy base
My go to for splitting 12oz with SWMBO, Quick sips from the tap or virtually any style but sours and wheats
(high carb beers throw huge heads with the small surface area.)

EDIT: Not my ONLY glass but one of few that sit on the kegerator for ease of access
Also includes a 8oz mason jar, 2 FW mini SNifters, 2 FW pint glasses and 1 delirum snifter.

 

[Spartan1979]

I'd go with the New Belgium globe.

 

[SiriusStarr]

Sippy cups. Never cry over spilled beer again, no matter how much you drink. :rockin:

This guy does! I like its versatility, seems to catch aroma nicely. I can really tell the difference between the Spiegelau and a normal American or British pint glass. Not sure about the temperature thing, I like my beer to warm up while I'm drinking it. Think I found em at Crate and Barrel.

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

I got this Heineken glass from a bar giveaway and it turned out to be my favorite glass to drink my homebrew from.

Thats a wheat glass, around 22oz? dont think heineken ever released a wheat.

I find that I go for this the majority of the time.

Stemless wineglasses FTW!!

Duvel tulip glass, Both American and British pint glasses.

I'd say I go to the Duvel glass most often. My favorite thing about drinking beer, is actually the beer that goes into the glass... not so much the glass I'm drinking out of.

If you served the beer in the corrcect glass you would like the beer even better!
Taste is 50% smell 100% of the time! lol

These are what mikeller stocks at his new bar in SF. Awesome glasses!!

Not sure about the warming unless u only hold it from the base which seems a little off, even then i like my beer to warm and release new flavors/aromas. This is a GREAT glass and comes in a close 2nd to the 10oz pilsner i listed.

 

[BeerGrylls]

I'm a big fan of my German salt-glazed Goebel stoneware beer krug (lidless stein). Even though I can't see the color of the beer, everything just tastes fantastic out of it, and you can't see from the photo but it has a nice big-'ol handle.

 

[daksin]

No love for the Willi Becher? I want to drink a full pint of my beer (16.9 oz) and with 21.5 oz total, I can either pour a nice big head, or fudge myself a 20oz pour! Can't ask for anything more than that.

 

[vNmd]

I use mainly 22 oz bottles for me, 12 oz for friends. I bought some 22 ounce beer glasses that are great for all the different stuff I brew:

 

[Mongrel]

OK, so I have to change my choice. Here's the product page in case they don't let me hotlink the big picture.

But ****, $196.56 shipped.

I would throw out 90% of all my other glassware for just one of those.

I'm not even a motorhead fan, but man, that is bad ass.

I'm not even a motorhead fan, but man, that is bad ass.

As a fan, I almost feel obligated to buy this just to keep Lemmy in amphetamines.

 

[Epimetheus]

Sam Adams glass, no question.

Except for 22oz where I use a Redneck Wine Glass, a 1 qt ball jar. Enough room for one pour and the head without disturbing the sediment for a second pour. Ick.

I gotta find some 24 oz glasses, like those above in post #23.

I also have some .25 litre marked Grolch glasses, perfect for splitting a 12 oz between my son and I. Family appreciation time is good.
