    One glass?? That's umpossible!
    Lately, summertime, I suppose, I've been loving my nonic glass.
    Once it gets colder out, I'm sure my snifter will get used and abused on a semi-daily basis.
    Although, I have a Belgian tulip that's probably about 14 or 15oz that allows room for a good head...that's the glass I'm going to war with, year-round.

    I do like that Will Becher glass. I just got one a few months back as a gift and find it's very useful for 16oz cans.

    I like variety in my glassware. Mix it up. Also - drink from the bottle or the can!

    While I do have many types of glassware to accompany the "appropriate" type of beer, I find myself using the tulip the majority of the time. Great, versatile glass

    Ha, I realize my wording was a touch confusing -- I didn't mean to say the Willi Becher was a mildly flared tulip, I was trying to say that such a tulip, or a good old snifter, is probably the best all-around choice, but that my personal preference these days happens to be the Becher. This post is my attempt to redeem the credibility of my glassware knowledge. So...yeah:wink:

    Between the Spieglau, my HF glass (picture courtesy of the internet), and a UK nonic, I'm pretty much covered. I struggle to get behind the Duvel tulip...

    Online they are $60.00 which is way too much - unless it's that phoney-baloney Swedish money of course!

    Tulip or snifter. All other answers are wrong. Thank you.

    I own weizen, pilsener, and tulip glasses and I tend to just use the weizen most of the time. I use the tulip for the darkest and strongest beers I try.

    You will need to fill that thing up many many many times this season. Good luck to you.

    I prefer my nonics (especially the half-pint ones) for the majority of brews, but I'll use a snifter for some special brews (especially the long-aged traditional strong ales I so love).

    Outside of that, everything else is hype and/or marketing doubletalk.
    Just use any glass that doesn't leak.
    And for god's sakes, don't keep them in the freezer. :grinning:

    As previously said, the readily found classic Duvel tulip is a fine glass for most any beer.

    TULIP brings out the best in the majority of styles.
