    I know there are reasons to drink Ales, IPAs, Lagers and Stouts in specific types of glasses, but if you could only use one glass for all the beer you drink, what would it be? What is the overall most versatile, useful, best way to enjoy beer, glass.

    Navigate to 'Glassware and Accessories' - it's called the Hopstar Tulip (the 'Hopstar' is the Fulton logo) - this is the best and most versatile glass I own.

    I received a Corsendonk Christmas Ale with a glass, that thing is my go to for new beers. Seems similar to the Fulton glass

    I think a snifter's good for pretty much anything.

    That was my second choice, but for whatever reason, I don't like the look of brown or black-colored beer in a tulip... :confused:

    To be honest the best..I repeat, THE BEST Glassware would have to be anything Belgian with an etched logo on the bottom of the glass. The etched logo will help the carbonation bubbles to reach the center of the glassware and will express the aromatics with a whole lot of "Oh yeah!" factor!

    Snifter was gonna be my third choice :rolling_eyes:, but anything low abv or pale looks odd to me in it. I tend to use my snifter only for high grav and/or barrel aged stuff.

    I'm not sure exactly what it's called (I've heard Belgian, stubby tulip, flanged snifter etc.) but this would be my top vote.

    My next vote would be for a big heavy mug glass mug; it may not encourage a perfect head or propel the full hop bouquet directly into my brain, but it's damn satisfying to drink out of, which for me personally is a significant factor to really enjoy a beer.

    Nuance or no, you can't tell me this isn't appetizing:

    This is my go-to glass for the last three years. It's rated at 16oz, but it's more like 14oz or so. These are sturdy as well, have endured a tipping or two and the dishwasher with nary a scratch.

    Nonic pint for me seconded by the "can" shaped glasses and snifters for bigger beers.

    A large red or white wine glass is all anyone needs.

    Exactly. This is what I recommended from the Fulton store. Only $5 too. Best damn glass I own. Perfect for everything from DIPA to Belgians to RIS and everything in between.
