Beer Glassware, any advice?

This makes everything taste better, I promise:

I highly recommend the Spiegelau stuff. I have their IPA and Stout glasses and they're awesome. Also look into the TeKu a nice stemmed glass made by some italians.

 

I rock a beer can glass, a SA perfect pint, and a tulip, depending on the beer. The perfect pint works for everything, really, but the beer can glass is very underrated.

 

That Spiegelau IPA glass is awesome. I can't remember where, but I've enjoyed IPAs out of that style on a number of occasions.

 

I just got this one a few months ago, and have not had any problems:

It's the same set they carry at BevMo.

 

I have the craft beer set from Libbey ... it's perfect for me. I accidentally broke the craft pint, and found a replacement at Bed Bath & Beyond. (Don't know if you have those in Ontario.) The only place I found that I could buy the glass individually to replace it in my set. Everyone else was selling them in a four pack.

 

I like this ... a lot!

 

I've found that a nice, wide-mouthed red wine glass and a nonic pint will cover you for pretty much anything. Although, a lot of the beer glass sets have tulips, so that might be best for your glassware-comfort-zone

 

And as many have said in this thread and others, the Sam Adams perfect pint is ideal

 

I drink basically everything out of one of these:

That or a teku of some kind

 

Step one: Clear out a shelf in your cupboards
Step two: Never miss an opportunity to add to your glass wear collection
Step Three: Buy ear plugs to avoid hearing your significant other complaining

 

The approach of a true beer advocate! I've got at least 20 glasses....

 

I like the look of a nice ale in a pilsener glass (horrors... an ale in a lager glass!). The tall, slender glass just shows off the beer, I think.

 

I enjoy just about everything from my snifter (from Breaker Brewing in PA)... I think it looks classy too. Wife has some nice stemless wine glasses that I use occasionally.

 

I use a Reidell Cabernet wine glass for a lot of my beers. Plenty of room for the beer to breath.

 

I would recommend this set instead since it includes the IPA glass: http://www.amazon.com/Spiegelau-Tas...176222&sr=8-3&keywords=spiegelau+beer+glasses

Cheers!

 

I have some Spiegelau glasses and absolutely love them, but they are pretty fragile. I enjoy drinking from them, but because they are fragile, I don't use them all the time. That fragility - to me they seem so thin they give the impression you are holding the beer in your hand and the glass isn't even there - OK, that's my weird comment for the week (maybe). They aren't cheap, that is for sure, so breaking one is zero fun.

I have a set of stemless big snifters that I got from WalMart that were inexpensive, durable as heck, they are hard to tip over, and they seem just fine for stouts and big beers, IMHO. Every day use? I like the Sam Adams pint glasses, and have several nonic type pints.
