Your 6 Most Frequently Used Beer Vessels

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on but I’ll bite

1. Patron Saints tulip?
2. SARA Pilsner glass?
3. Amazon ipa glass
4. Enegren dimpled mug
5. Amazon Pilsner glass
6. SARA Teku
* disclaimer: between my kids and I there’s a lot of broken glassware. So this isn’t my end-all definitive glassware collection. Just current working glassware.

 

Classics.

 

I want to see @lucius10 post in this thread!

 

The motorboat, the sailboat... oh, wait, you mean drinking vessels!!

 

So, just so you guys know...I had to think REALLLL hard to dwindle it down to just 6! Ha!

Many thanks! FWIW #6 would be my choice of the bunch.

 

Wow, you guys have some nice stuff! I've received glassware as gifts over the years but I'm a klutz and afraid of breaking anything, so I use one of my 2 favorite plain shaker pints. And I've never even chipped them!

 

Don’t have six in my rotation.
My main four, all generic, non-logo:

Dimple Mug
Teku
Tulip
Willi

My one splurge, Simon Pearce Tankard:

 

I typically would lean towards using simple pint glasses and snifters most of the time despite having a larger selection of glassware available until recently when I've been pretty much using teku glasses for everything. They work well as a one-size-fits-all. I should likely start using glassware more appropriate for the style of beer I'm drinking, but I do enjoy being able to alternate styles in a single night while using the same glass (simply rinsed) between beers.

 

I've been drinking straight from the can lately.

 

Currently (of the ones with surviving logos*):

Size and shape is my criteria, not branding.

That Killian's, for example, is a relatively rare US-made Nonic style glass* which is a US 16 oz. pint, rather than a UK Imperial (19.2 oz) pint, so it nicely holds one 12 oz. bottle or can of beer + adequate head, without that annoying "space" left when using a UK Nonic.

* I once had the same glass with a Budweiser American Ale logo, but, like many glasses, it passed away in the line of the duty. Look, folks, you're going die one day - why let your glassware survive you? "Oh, my wife and kids can sell 'em and live off the proceeds!" No, they're gonna donate them to the rummage sale at the church (maybe your son will save one "Oh, that was Dad's favorite glass!" He'll use it for pens and pencils on his workbench in the cellar).

 

Surprised not to see the obligatory breakfast stout mug yet.



I don't have 6 vessels. Really only use 4.

 

Although some are 12 and some 16 oz...mine would be

1-4. willi
5. straight from the can
6. tulip (for the occasional stout or ipa)

 

Yeah, bro! That one is a cool one...it "changes colors" with what you put in it. If I put a hoppy/light colored beer in it, it looks like this:


But, if I put a darker beer like a porter or stout, it looks like this!



I have a tan and green one like this as well! Cheers, bro!!!

 

I use my Zero Gravity and Bluejacket branded 14 oz. Willi Becher glasses pretty much interchangeably with most beers. If the beer is any larger, I'll use one of my 20 oz. unbranded Willi Becher's. Occasionally I'll use my .4 liter Silver Branch mugs, but it is a strange serving size that doesn't quite hold enough for a full pint, Euro or American.

 

Here are mine, no particular order:



1. GlassToMouth (such a terrible company name) Muppet Can Release Rastal Harmony Glass
2. This one has a bit of a story. So, I worked for a brewery for 6 months, and we ended up taking over a brewery space from a brewery that never opened. They had a TON of glassware made before they opened, and just left it behind, so I grabbed a few glasses. This is my favorite of them. Nice and thin, super balanced to hold. The hop logo is pretty cool too.
3. Barreled Souls "Splinter" Teku. Has a nice TMNT arcade game Splinter on it.
4. Craftmaster. Just comfy to hold.
5. Foam Tulip(? I'm not sure the actual name, never seen another like it.) My buddy from Scotland came and visited a few years ago, and we did a tour of the Northern Vermont breweries in one day and he bought this for me as a gift. This is what I drink most of my big stouts in.
6. 16oz Russian River Nonic. Got this in a trade and I love it. Russian River is one of my favorite breweries, and Nonics are great to drink out of. This is my "jack of all trades" glass.

 

You're not really drinking out of a beaker, are you? Oh, the humanity!
