    16 oz. Founders snifter. I continue to accumulate glassware, yet this purchase sees the most use. Versatile for beer styles, and easily fits a 12 oz. bottle with a nice fluffy head, what's more to ask?

    Won this old Michelob mug at the beach about 20 years ago. It's never seen a drop of that nasty adjunct but it's my favorite glass. Love the handle, the weight, the sturdy base, and the overall feel. Has plenty of room for a big foamy head and makes for all around easy drinking. Used to be 1 of 2 but I broke the other about 16 years back.

    Nice lacing from whats left of that 21st Amendment Bitter American, eh?

    My second favorite is a Unibrou Maudite tulip I picked up in a thrift shop!

    Probably my overall favorite is my DFH Signature glass. Awesome.

    My Favorite is my Right Brain Brewery Mad Scientist Pint Glass. Same logo, just on a glass.

    Oops. Wrong thread. But I'd have to say my favorite is my Bells Snifter.

    I have a ton of glassware but I most frequently use my Bruery tulip. It's a good size and works well with almost any style of beer.

    Despite my current profile pic (tired hands teku) the Lawson's glass is my go to. I also have two of those tall and slender more-than-a-pint glasses from victory and Hess that I will sometimes enjoy a lager or a session style beer out of. Not sure what they call those!

    It depends on the beer. For a complex dark ale and the like, I'll use a snifter. My old standby for most beers is the type of hollow stem beer glass with a broad bowl that was popular around 1960. I gave up trying to include a photo. Search the description I gave on the Internet and you'll find them, usually for sale as "vintage beer glasses." The best place to buy these on the cheap is thrift stores.

    My Firestone Teku or my Viking Horn. Depends on if I'm relaxing or raiding a village.

    I have a Hard Rock Cafe pilsner glass that I like to put improper beers in. Just about everything is good in it as long as it has that crystal clear appearance.

    The one full of beer. But seriously, Sam Adams perfect pint. Not every beer is worthy of the all mighty snifter.

    My wife gave me a set of Spiegelau Beer Classics Beer Connoisseur Gift Set plus an extra tulip glass and the I.P.A. glass for our anniversary last year. I knew using the right glass can help accentuate the flavor etc. of a beer but, using these is like night and day, honestly...

    My Founders snifter is my preferred glass for the heavier beers. Anything lighter gets drunk out of my Michigan pint glass.

    Every once in a while I will bust out a mug or a pilsner glass but 90% of what I drink is drunk out of the 2 glasses mentioned above.
