    I am always on the look out for beautiful glassware. My Darkness Tulip/snifter, Half Acre Tulip, and Stella Glass are my faves. I am seeking a CBS snifter, founders tulip, DFH glass and New Belgium Globe Glass.

    What other nice pieces of glassware am I missing? Anderson Valley Brewing Company makes a gorgeous tulip/snifter that looks a lot like the darkness glass I have.

    The Hill Farmstead long-stem tulip and Lost Abbey Rastal tulip are two of my favorites. The Bell's and Hair of the Dog tulips are quite nice as well.

    Of course, it goes without saying that if you like lambic you should be on the lookout for Cantillon and Drie Fonteinen glassware, as well as other miscellaneous tumblers.

    Definitely agree on the Hill Farmstead glassware... However, they have eluded me. I need to get to know people up in that area.

    New Belgium globes are not very expensive but nice glasses, do you have a DFH signature, or a CCB snifter? Those are all really good glasses, but my CBS Snifter is my favorite.

    I really like the Town Hall and Central Waters tulips. The Duvel tulip is a cool piece and not hard to come by.

    Not a big fan of my new belgium globe, i'm more of a standard pint glass man myself, but if you really want one message me for my email address, email me a shipping label and I'll mail you this glass.

    You are missing Russian River and Lost Abbey stemware. I can get them if you need.

    I believe you mean a SAVOR snifter. OP, you should get one of those; it's a great glass. 2oz line and everything.

    Well the Ticker's Thimble only holds 1 oz. of beer.

    The SAVOR snifter is apparently perfect for sharing :slight_smile:

    I have recently found a love for unorthodox glassware and found a couple that I don't plan to drink from but make very interesting showpieces. Kasteel has a very cool looking chalice with a glass building at the base of the stem.

    And Kwak has a very odd looking glass (not sure what one would categorize this as that requires a wooden stand to hold it upright.

    If you're looking for a chalice, I personally like Ommegang's Chalice (though I'm biased towards them a touch...) and Chimay has a chalice that is fairly easy to get, as it is usually included in their gift 3-pack.

    Stange for lambic? I'd be using a tumbler for gueuze, and then something more akin to a flute or wine glass for fruited lambics.

    I suppose a stange is fairly-close to a tumbler in shape, but I'd rather use an actual tumbler for the authenticity. Plus, tumblers look way, way cooler than stanges.

    do you own a boot? Start with .5l and work your way up to 1l. If you're really feeling ballsy, jump right in with a 2l but know it takes 6 12oz beers to fill it.

    Go for machine-pressed over handblown- handblown are showpieces but machine-pressed are much thicker and more durable.
