    I get mine from the various breweries I visit. I try to always get a glass and whenever possible I get a different style of glass to add to my collection.

    From various stores. Breweries are also a good source for purchasing glassware.

    There are some good decent simple stores that can give you the basics at times, IKEA, Pier one (gone right?), World Market, you can find stuff online as well.

    Breweries and beer stores have glasses from time to time too.

    I always like to have a glass from a brewery I really like, and particularly a glass of a fav Belgian brew too since Belgian glassware can be so specific. It's a nice thing to have from time to time... but it's not 100% necessary either, but it sure does enhance the experience.

    I've collected glasses from all over the country (I am internationally ambitious) from whichever breweries offer them. My most recent purchase was a pair of snifters from Great Divide and we use them all the time.

    Breweries and Cost Plus. I found that Cost Plus has some cheap ones that work and also have some cool and funny sayings on them.

    I get most of mine from breweries. Just broke my favorite glass from Galaxy Brewery the other day so I may have to take a trip back there soon, not so much for the beer, but for the glass.

    I also ended up with a few random pint glasses when a local bar I frequent lost their lease and had a moving party to kill the remaining kegs and give away prizes for the regulars.

    I have so many glasses from these type events that I have to pack a lot of them away. Some day I would love to make a neat display.

    I try to get one if I'm at a new pub or brewery I like, or sometimes I'll just go on their website and order one; often breweries (take Sixpoint or Brooklyn for example) have nice branded glassware for $6-10 or less. I tend to get them at events as well, though usually just shaker pints.

    My local watering hole on Wednesday's gives a free glass from the brewery they're featuring for the month curtsey of the distributer... Have a dozen or so, plus key chains, cozies, tee shirts, hats, etc...

    I try to buy glassware at my local breweries but it tends to be a bit overpriced. I bought Libbey's Craft Beer 6-Piece set for $29.99 at Walmart quite awhile ago. It's a great set and it much cheaper than other beer specific glassware.

    Oh please. If I'm at a restaurant and they have a damn New Belgium glass, I'm taking it. They get them for free. Relax!

    I get my glassware from the brewery's online stores and a local bottle shop that carries a great selection of glassware.

    Simon Pearce -- Queeche Vt. tulips, shaker pints and various snifters. The best quality American made hand blown vessels period. Yes they are expensive --but I'm spending bloody $12 a bottle for my nightly fix of Trillium IPAXYZ!!!
