    I know it's a tough question because it will depend on the beer, but I'm looking for just a go-to beer glass that will work well for all beers. So if you could only own 1 glass, what would it be?

    Only one glass? The Duvel tulip. Easy to find (thrift stores sometimes have them for about $2), good for every beer I've tried.

    I find myself using a tulip more often than not for almost every style I drink.

    It's kind of fun to match the glassware to the beer.....like this one

    A white wine glass is my favorite. It's the new tulip.

    I do love the Tekus a 2nd choice.

    Tulip or a good heavy glass beer mug IMO. Wine glasses work well too.

    If I had to choose one, probably a fat Belgian tulip glass.

    For hops I prefer a Teku. Pretty much everything else goes into a tulip.

    And this one works great for IPA's and pale ales.....see where I am going here?

    The selection of glassware is part of the whole beer experience....or not....up to you!

    That glass there. I use it almost exclusively. Holds one beer perfectly and any beer goes well in it.

    Sam Adams perfect pint is my all purpose glass. Can't beat it for versatility and the most I've ever paid for one is two bucks.

    I prefer tulip and stemless white wine glasses for ales and I like the Chimay chalice for stouts/porters

    Tulips for me as well. I love how they look and feel.

    As many have commented: A good size tulip glass is superb, for bringing out the aromas, checking the color, lacing, retention...if you're in to that kind of thing. Teku glasses have an appearance aspect to them, but I often break them.

    17 oz. snifter. I have yet to find a glass that complements so many styles so well.
