Beer Glassware, any advice?

I have the Spieglau pilsner glasses. Use them for pretty much everything

 

I will also throw my vote in for the Sam Adams perfect pint glass. I use the larger 22 oz. version for pretty much everything that isn't a stout. I have the Spiegelau IPA glass as well and it is great, just a bit lighter and more delicate. I love the weight and feel of the Sam Adams glass so I reach for it most of the time.

 

I'd trust almost anything from http://www.truebeer.com/ . I got my snifters from there, are they are solid, well-made. If I wasn't trying to collect glasses from breweries, I'd get everything from them

 

I use the Spieglau snifter almost exclusively. Was able to pick them up at Williams and Sonoma outlet for under 4 bucks a glass.

 

The perfect pint glass by SA is very nice, and does live up to whatever hype it has acquired, but it's also a bit top heavy when full and breaks easily.

 

I own this set. Recommended.

 

Love the Spiegelau IPA and Stout glasses and have both. I have a few other glasses, but the one I reach for for many other beer styles is this. http://www.boulevard.com/store/glass-smokestack-glass/

Everything tastes good in it, and it was free with a mixed 4 pack of Smokestack series beers.

 

I agree with you on this. I almost always use a tulip such as that or a Belgian tulip, from stouts to IPA's. Having over 100 glasses and trying hard to pick out discernible differences between them all, these tulip styles always seem to do the best for nose and taste. I also really enjoy red wine glasses and glasses such as the JK stemmed glass.

 

Check out the True beer web site. I broke my last flute and couldn't find on locally. The True Beer flutes are sturdy and fairly cheap. http://www.truebeer.com/

 

Like my Duvel glasses. Make everything taste better. Seems like their popularity has dropped off.

 

The Spiegelau set is basically all you need. It does the job across most styles. That said, they are very thin walled so you need to be careful with them.

 

Get a snifter.

 

I like my Duvel glass as well. Works well for high carbonated stuff or 16 oz. beers so you don't have to poor more than once.

As others have said Spiegelau is the way to go. Just their standard "Pilsner" glass though. Their IPA glass is decent but harder to get clean/dry.

 

Duvel tulip and NB Globe does it for me. I have plenty other glassware, but always come back to those two.

 

If I were starting all over again and wanted to get a set of glasses I'd most likely go for this one:

My favorites by far now are the Spiegelau Dogfish/SN IPA and Rogue/Left Hand Stout glasses. They are phenomenal, but IMO if you are only buying one style, the Stout is the way to go. I use to use Duvel Tulips all the time, but these are much better. Well worth it.

 

I drink out of shaker pints. Mostly because it really irks some people on the interwebz.
