    some of you may know of my glass...well, let's just say...obsession. i'm particularly fond of them funny little mini snifters. some time back an image surfaced of a sixpoint mini snifter with the sixpoint star on the glass. these were never for sale, until recently...they were added as part of the holiday gift pack. having most of the other swag in the gift packs i couldn't justify dropping the coin on the gift set for just the mini snifter.

    i reached out to sixpoint to see if they had the mini snifter for sale on thier own and was informed that they had so few that they were only for the gift packs. after the promotion ended, i reached out to see if any mini snifters were still around, but was informed that they were taken by the reps to use at promotional events...i continued my quest seeking out events or anyone who might know anyone who could get one of these all to no avail.

    moments ago, at my office, a small box is delivered to me from sixpoint. i had no idea what could be inside but immediately got excited at the potential for a mini snifter even though i hadn't been in touch with the brewery for over a month about finding these and was under the impression that aside from getting lucky in a trade i would never find one. i open the box and BAM!!!!

    what a pleasant surprise. i never even gave them my address...must've looked me up from previous orders. cheers...i raise my glass to you sixpoint! thanks for helping a glass collector out...and keep on brewing that wonderful elixir!

    seems like all of your efforts paid off, that's a lot of work to track down a mini-snifter...

    This counts as a good deed from a bad brewer in my book.

    What's more important than beer? Glassware.

    at the end of the night, you just pee out the beer...but the glass...she lasts forever (or until your drunk ass breaks it).

    Collect glassware, not beer. Drink Beer.

    Amen! My new motto! I love beer! A lot! But as much as people think it is a trophy (and I was one of them) it is ACTUALLY for drinking. Imagine that!
