"Beer can" shaped glasses...

I won these, I enjoy them quite a lot. Anything beats a shaker pint.

 

4 Hands out of St Louis ...

 

Was done for the night until I saw this thread.

 

My biggest concern with them is how thin the lip of the glass is... I am not the most coordinated person towards the bottom of a beer, I give those glasses a short life under my command.

 

Looks pretty cool! I'd like to get my hands on one to try it out

 

ISO: Dat balance

 

Cool stuff.

 

Sly Fox here in Pennsylvania is also doing these cans on some of their beers. They call it the "360 can". I personally love them and these cans are in my fridge all the time during the summer months.



Sly Fox also gave away these can glasses this year at their first annual 5k Vox Trot race, I love mine.

 

got a couple from my sister in MA from baxter and newburyport brewing. I like em.

 

There was a huge thread of pictures of this style in the Brewerania forum a month or two ago, but I can't find it now. This search function never works for me...

Edit: Found it in my likes!

Stole a PBR one from Buffalo Wild Wings. I use it all the time now

 

This is the only one I knew existed, thought it was pretty cool though.. so I uhhh, acquired one.

 

The look cool, at least by the pics shared here, and are cheap advertisement/exposure for the brewery. I like the look, not sure I would drink from one, but would certainly not turn down a beer given to me in a can-glass (glass-can???). Would appeal to collectors, too, I would think. As long as i have the other options for "logoware" available (nonics, tuplips, etc), then no harm, no foul.

 

I also dig the aesthetic, and am guilty of collecting a few of these myself. However, there's no way these will replace the Shaker Pint. They are way more breakable (not flimsy by any means, just not as rock solid as the shaker), and they don't nest or stack stabley upside down.

 

I bought a glass cutter on ebay or amazon (Can't remember which ...) works great! Except on Stone bottles. They all crack badly.

 

I have one of the Baxter can glasses. Pretty cool to drink out of.

 

they look okay, but for everyday / outdoor glass I'll stick to Nonic or Imperial Pint glass that is a little thicker/tougher and not worry too much about the glass

for big IPAs, special or sipping beers I'll use either a tulip / snifter

 

Beer cooler shaped display cases?

 

Heh heh heh. Don't give me any ideas, man.
