4 oz. tasting glasses or similar

Try Goodwill or Dollar stores or contact restaurant wholesalers. small juice glasses would work well.

 

Its a little more expensive but if you like branded ones, try the Deschutes 4 oz sampler glasses for $2.25 each.

I've found a few of these at thrift stores, it's a 4oz glass (the Sam's is for a sense of scale). They are great glasses but I cannot seem to find out who makes them or even anything similar. So it doesn't help you much, but they are great tasting glasses if you can find them.

 

I have a bunch of these 5.5 oz snifters from World Market that I use for tastings, they are a steal of a deal at $7.96 for 4

I've also seen those mini tulips at a lot of thrift stores. Perfect for those tastings where things might get a bit sloppy!

Nothing fancy, but I use these from Ikea, at 50 cents/glass:

More expensive but I like these from Stone

Pilsner shams. They turn up more often than you might think, as do the old "barrel" type tasters.
(It's not like "thrifting" or antiquing is everybody's cup of tea, but I once scored a set of six "Asahi" tasters in the box, for like $2 at St. Vincent de Paul )

 

Picked up one of the today

Set me back 25¢.​

 

I grabbed a couple small snifters from a Salvation Army store. They were marked $0.99 each and at the register came up at 50% off. Can't beat that! Haven't measured volume yet but they split a 12oz bottle perfectly with enough room for a nice head plus some, so I'm guessing 8oz). I love them to take samples from the tap as well without feeling bad about drinking a whole pint of beer but they are also dangerous for that same reason...

 

Didja see any Michelob Bock?

 

Nope, not since about circa 1981 (wait, that was Michelob Dark on tap).

Oh, you mean, glassware? Nah, it was a "junk/garage sale" type flea market. There were 4 tall SUNTORY DRAFT BEER flutes. 4/$1. The old lady looked like she could use the extra buck more than I could, so they went into the bag, too- and then right into a box in the cellar. My heirs can sort them out.

Unbranded but nice glasses at a very reasonable price.

 

I purchased these from amazon about 4 years ago for about $25 for a case of 12 and have used them countless times! Great budget glassware, similar to the ones at World Market.
