    Curious how many different specialized glasses BAs have; looking more for different glass styles for various beers, not necessarily just branded glasses.

    Personally I love gathering accessories for my hobbies, so I have a bunch of glassware. I probably have the "proper glass" for almost any beer style I could find.

    So what do other BAs have?

    Not that many, compared to others on here. 4 different tulips (I use these for most of the beer I drink), a rounded pint glass, and a dozen shaker pints. I would like to get a couple smaller (~8oz) tulips for sharing.

    According to my wife, "WAY TOO MUCH," but let's see... over the years I've accumulated a ridonculous amount of shaker pints, a few branded tulips (Mystic, Corsendonk, and Savor 2013), a Sam Adams Infinium flute, a couple Sam Adams perfect pint glasses, some hefty lager mugs, tall pilsner glasses, and a couple itty bitty snifters all crammed into the top shelf of my dishes/glasses cabinet. Oh, I was also given a yard glass for xmas one year, but still have yet to have a night where I'm like, "I need 50 ounces of beer in a single go," and actually have the time to consume it all.
    I do enjoy mixing up the glassware styles depending on the beer I'm drinking, though. Definitely makes a difference!

    A yard glass is one I don't have yet, but want to get one. The local grocery store actually carries them, just haven't wanted to drop the $20 or whatever on one yet. Not sure if I'd use it either...but it seems marginally more practical than a beer boot, which I have no interest in.

    I have one set of beer glasses, pint, stange, tulip, pilsner, hefeweizen , and a chalice. I have two sam adams glasses and I am looking to get one of the IPA glasses. I also need a snifter. Too much glassware? Never.

    A woman after my own heart.
    I want to get one of those IPA glasses from Spiegelau; visiting DFH next month so I'll get one of theirs, but I'd also like a non-branded one.

    yikes... too many... (not counting also all the ones I've broken!)

    BUT... my favorite brews... deserve their own glasses, so it's all worth it.

    Maybe 30 glasses? I try to grab a glass whenever I visit a new brewery and have received a few as trade extras.

    I'd say I have about 10 different styles of glasses. But I do not care one bit about matching the style of the beer to the glass style.

    By style, I get as much use out my tulips as possible, as I love how it funnels the pungent notes right up your schnozz. Also have a Utopias, some Ommegang flutes, one chalice, some of the Sam custom pint glasses, a couple imperials, some pilsners, a set of weizens, and of course more branded American shakers than I can recall.

    i have about 50 glasses but about 30 are "unique". i say unique.... i probably have 3 or 4 different snifters which are slightly different, and 2 or 3 tulips a little different size or shape, etc... i count that sort of thing as unique.

    This should be in the Breweriana section. Those fellers will break servers with their lists.

    two regular pint glasses that each represent a hockey championship win. a chimay chalice and a set of 6 different glasses my gf got me for Christmas.

    "This set includes one 15.25 ounce classic pilsner glass, one 20 ounce English pub glass, one 16.5 ounce Belgian ale glass, one 20 ounce craft pub glass, one 14.75 ounce porter/stout glass, and one 23 ounce wheat beer glass. "

    RIP my snifter that shattered.

    Exactly why I didn't post it there, and specified I was talking about specialized glassware, not branded glasses :stuck_out_tongue:

    That set was the beginning of my collection, it's great.

    I think you can get banned just for talking about breaking servers on BA.
