    Or metal, or ceramic, etc.. Not counting collectables
    or other containers that you can't or won't use, let's
    just say the ones you drink out of on a regular basis
    or at least sometime during the year?

    My count:
    6 pint
    3 pilsner
    3 glass mugs
    2 brass mugs
    1 ceramic mug
    1 snifter
    1 tulip
    1 stein
    1 weizen
    1 mason jar
    _____________
    20 count

    PS: Red Solo Reusable Cup counts.

    Your count?

    About 20...

    Here are some I use pretty often:

    Some were gifts, others garage sells, and one or two purchased online.

    I'm a minimalist by nature. I currently have 5 glasses, but I'm actually giving 2 to a friend tomorrow. That will leave me with:

    1 Spiegelau Tulip
    1 Teku
    1 Becher Tumbler

    I don't really count standard shakers because we use those for pretty much everything lol so for me that's 5 Tulips 1 chalice and my good ol' Stein. But that's also not counting my dad's many MANY wine glasses that'll I'll occasionally use for a good sour if all the others are still dirty.

    My count is getting up there, although it's nothing compared to some of the collections I've seen here. I don't really count the pint glasses, since those get used for water far more than they're used for beer. But for dedicated beer-drinking glasses I definitely have over 20. I enjoy acquiring them more than just having them, so I recently got rid of about 10 that I wasn't using very often. My favorites are the Spiegelau IPA glass, my Teku (so cool, want to get a few more) and my Snorkel snifters (best design!). I also have a few brewery samplers and a dozen mini-snifters for when I want to share a bottle or pour a few samples from my kegs. I think I'm still below 40 even if you count those, though (phew!).

    If there's one thing my collection is lacking, it's a proper tulip with an outward-flaring lip. I have a few that have straight sides, but none of the sort that look kind of like hurricane glasses.

    I generally drink anything (beer, water, juice) out of English Imperial pint glasses, mainly Nonics, but I also use tulips for a lot of different beers, and weizen glasses for weizens. I've easily got more than 40 glasses but most of them don't come out unless I'm having people over.

    I also have a lot of steins and so forth but I don't like not being able to see my beer. I like to see the color, and to know where I'm at volume-wise.

    1-5 that I use during the course of the year but I probably have closer to 20 glasses, the majority of which only get used for special occasions or when I have a few old friends to visit for a weekend every couple of years (lots of bottle sharing on those weekends).

    I always said I wasn't going to collect glasses because it was just another way for me to spend money on beer-related things, and also takes up a lot of room.. That being said, I just hit 80 glasses.. Ugh..

    About 30. My wife won't let me add any more pint glasses unless I get rid of some that we have :slight_frown:

    (but she's very tolerant of my homebrewing, so it works out)

    Shelf and a half in the kitchen, some of my favorites behind the glass doors of the hutch in the living room, ~10 boxes scattered around the shelving in the cellar, some marked "SAVE" "TRADE" "SELL" ... I'm afraid to count them.

    Probably enough to drink from a different glass for a year.

    I love that the highest option is 40+...I have 40+ that I want to get get rid of, have 4 x 40+ that I want to get rid of...and probably triple that number of what I don't want to get rid of.

    math makes my head hurt :slight_frown:

    WAY too many to ever actually use them all, ironically...sadly, this is not all of them, just the ones in this room...[​IMG]

    My beer glass count is infinite because every time I open the cupboard I find a new glass that hadn't been there before. Being serious, I probably only use about ten tops each year and I'm including seasonal rotations.
