Beer Only Glasses

I tend to drink beer only out of my beer glasses, but not because I'm anal about cleanliness so much as I associate the shapes of those glasses with drinking beer and associate drinking other things with other shaped glasses.

 

If someone is in my residence and requests a beverage, I will get it for them..... then, the glass used is my choice. However, I don't have company regularly... so when I do, I am overly accommodating.

 

I have many glasses that I only use for beer. One of which I specifically use for pales and IPA's only, nothing else ever touches those.

 

Curiously enough, it's never come up in my household.

I think my sweetheart decided not to use any of my (few) beer glasses when she noticed that I, the one who does the dishes, switch to a separate, dedicated sponge when cleaning them.

 

Owners of said wine glass looked at me like I was an SNL Conehead, but didn't take offense.

 

I have a couple of cabinets full of different types of beer glassware, and everyone knows not to touch it for anything other than beer.

 

Nobody drinks out of my beer glasses but me. Period. Beer only.

 

Well, if they asked you why you were going in that direction (instead of, let's say, those plastic solo cups) you could just say that Garrett Oliver recommended using a wine glass when no beer stems were available.

Then, of course, they would probably come back with "that guy from the original cast of SNL???"

 

TurkeyFeathers stole my beer goggles thunder, now I'm off to the bar to flex my beer muscles

 

OK. So we're siblings from different mothers. And I don't know if my wife feels the same way about my beer glasses since she doesn't drink but she does tolerate me.

 

I am outnumbered by children in my house, which makes it difficult to control beverage usage. I don't mind if my kids use the beer glassware, but only if I am not left with an empty cupboard. I try not to be a tool about it. My daughter broke a pint glass once and was scared to tell me, so I made sure to not lose it on her. It's only glass. They make more every day.

 

What?! A smoothie? A goddamned smoothie?!

Let me guess, you don't fart in bed either....and if one slips out you apologize and vow to never let it happen again.

 

Nothing but beer goes in my glasses. My wife gave me some of the glasses as gifts and she knows that they are for beer drinking only!

 

Generally, I stick to beer glasses for beer and beer alone. BUT… I did make one exception to this rule (for the first time ever, this holiday season): I poured myself some egg nog in one of my snifters. But nothing else touches my beer glasses.

 

With as much cabinet space I take up with glass wear I don't want to start any trouble with the wife of she pours a coke into my .5 liter paulaner mug or a stout glass. Now if she tried the bs with my Duvel tulip...DIVORCE!!!!!!

 

Is it me or are the first responses to a thread usually the best

 

Damn, y'all are getting as snobby as wine drinkers! A glass is a glass.

I would do the exact opposite. I would have all my glasses at home suitable for various beer styles, so that I would always have options for my beer choices, and not have to worry about my specifically beer glasses being meddled with. The only exception I would make is if I had special glasses from breweries, something I would treat as an antique.

 

I drinK water out of my duvet glass. I swear it makes water 100x better. Or maybe I'm some sort of beer addict. Speaking of that should be a beer karma level. Addicted.

 

Nobody fucks w my large Simon Pearce tulip in my house. Isn't she gorgeous?
