    We have all been there: at a brewery, get a pint glass on a tour. Friend went to a brewery, gets you a pint glass as a gift.

    Go to your shelf and count off the number of craft beer branded shakers you have!

    I take them into work. Then wait for them to get stolen. Bam! Instant better home.

    Oh wait, forgot to answer... probably 5

    Too many--most are in storage. When I had clumsier roommates this wasn't such a problem!

    Having been a bartender for over 8 years...a lot. Last November, when I moved, I gave 60-70 to Goodwill. I probably still have over a hundred. Also have another 100-150 Belgian, snifter, whatever glasses. All tucked away in my house back home. What will I ever do with them?? Who knows!!

    I was that roommate at one point. I was the reason we eventually had mostly plastic shot glasses :wink:. I never broke anything awesome (thank god) or anything sentimental. just a lot of shot glasses and a few pint glasses. mostly plain, a few from UNM, NMT, and an ABQ brewfest one.

    I have 13 of the Libbeys 2 dozen 5139 boxes full of my collection.
    Trust me it is the easiest way to store them. I always have some in cupboards for use .
    Winter ale glass collection , etched glass , Anchor OSA series minus one year :slight_frown:
    Various Flying Saucer special releases , tons of brewery logo ones , some I would trade off , some NEVER !!
    So 312 pints give or take, plus all the sweet ass stemware ,chalices , Tekus and now can glasses
    I need a bigger house !!!

    I almost never use them for beer, mostly water. I am glad to see many breweries getting away from this glass as the giveaway. Usually they will still charge for stemware, but never more than cost.

    I have almost 50, all from breweries or brewpubs I've visited.
    I don't use any, but they look cool on a high shelf above the bar.
    Dust them once a year and it's all good.

    Whenever I obtain too many I just give them away. Other people love them.

    I probably have over 100. I go through every so often and thin the herd but still never put a very good dent in it. Just can't part with them I guess.

    3, SN Celebration, Bells Two Hearted, and Founders Stout Season. I like them, I used them occasionally. I don't plan on getting anymore, I usually prefer Snifters.

    I have 30 shakers plus about that same total number of chalices, goblets, samplers, etc. I rarely use any of them, preferring to use glasses that I get from beer festivals. I don't mind putting those glasses in the dishwasher.
