    Looking from some help from Saint Louis-area BA's here. I've seen pictures of a Perennial branded snifter once or twice in the "Late Night Beer Advocate" and "What Beer Are You Drinking Now" threads. The most recent "sighting" was within the last couple of days, however I've been unable to find the picture. How readily available is the glass? I was scheduled to be down in Springfield, IL next week for work and was planning on making the jaunt to St. Louis and dropping by the tasting room, however my schedule changed.

    I'm a huge fan of their brews and would love to pick up a pair of these snifters. If anyone is willing, I'd like to work something out. Cheers!

    After OP is taken care of, if there are anymore floating around, I'd also be interested. Cheers!

    Probably, it's the only glass I've ever seen from them. I've seen the style of glass referred to as both a tulip (short-stemmed) and as a snifter. It could be a Rastal glass and I'd guess it's probably about 13 oz.

    Thanks much for the information. Agreed, if it's thick and heavy it's definitely not Rastal. So anybody out there that can help me out? By the way, does anyone know what's up with the website? It haven't been able to bring it up for months, although they do have a blog and Facebook page.

    The etched one is much smaller, maybe a 12 oz snifter, very thin. The larger with the green ginkgo leave is their "hommel" glass and was sold out when I was there a few weeks ago, not sure how often they restock
