Breaking a glass...

Broke 2 DFH IPA , Glasses last week !!!, dropped the first one from half and inch while washing it, bought another one the next day used it, put it back when to grab a snifter rubbed it with my forearm fell over and it broke , when and bought one again the next day, they cost 5$ at my bottle shop so n biggie ..

 

my daughter broke my tired hands 2nd ann. glass the other day. I have one less daughter now too.

 

Did this the other night with my Chimay chalice. Just finished washing it and as I was walking down to the basement to put it away I noticed a few drops of water left inside; tried to shake the water out and smacked it right into the railing.

 

I pick up a glass at Darkness Day every year. Earlier this year, I managed to knock one off a shelf. Of course it was one I had no extra of, and neither do any of my tasting buddies. 2011 glass. I now have the rest of my Darkness glasses stored in bubble wrap and peanuts in a box, since i don't have a safe place to display them.

 

WTF?!?!?!? I thought bad things are only supposed to happen to good people?

chilling out sipping on some BCBS last night when POP!!!





...a bottle of breakside brewery's passionfruit sour ale explodes and takes out 3 or 4 glasses

beer and glass everywhere...took about 2 hours to clean up and happened at about 11:15p. so much for early bed time last night.

 

The day after a tasting I had 6 Duval tulips with dried up sticky stout at the bottom, I left them in the sink standing up to soak and managed to knock a cast iron frying pan on to them breaking them all. Not as bad as it sounds though because I know the local sales rep for Duval and had no problems getting replacements.

 

I just cracked my first Jester King glass that i got a few years ago when they only had tastings. That trip was what got me really into the craft beer scene. It didnt shatter, so i still have it, but its a shame i cannot use it anymore.

 

Over the past couple of months, I had broken two glasses from the Libbey craft beer set - the craft pint and the porter/stout. I felt awful. Not collectable, but my girlfriend gave it to me when I started getting in to better beers. It was my first "real" set of appropriate glassware for beer, as well. It meant something to me. After looking on line, to no avail, I found that the Bed Bath & Beyond by my place will break up sets and sell the individual glasses at 2 or 3 bucks each. I was happy. Side note - my girlfriend was happy, too. She had no idea they meant that much to me after all of the other cool glassware I have acquired.

 

my girlfriend doesn't get my glassware thing...but my wife does...and that's why my wife can never learn about my girlfriend.
