Beer glasses...

Tulips for anything Belgian, sour or barrel-aged.
Pints for IPAs.. Unless it's 3 Floyds.. then I'll use my Teku.

That's the extend of my beer glass usage.

 

I collect glasses, but only drink out of them if I'm taking a picture for a review of my blog. I invested in a Spiegelau set last year, 6 different types of glasses & the Brussels style snifter they offer is the best glass ever.

 

I use my HF glass or my Spieglau glass for pretty much everything

I think all anyone really needs is:
- pint glass: IPA, APA, general lagers, low ABV stouts, American wheat beers, wits, etc.
- weizen glass: German wheat beers (hefeweizen, dunkelweizen, weizenbock, etc.)
- tulip: stouts, Belgians, sours, high ABV beers

No need to go overboard.

 

Pint glass for lagers, tulip/snifter for everything else.

 

I like my new Ballast point tulip which replaced the one that fell from my dish drainer(bad idea putting it there I know) if its pale I put it in my english pint glass most german beers I buy go into my wheat beer glass

 

This. But I also use the my Spiegelau Dogfish/Sierra glass for IPA's.

 

You all are right on the money, and/or a Ball Pint Jar

 

A tulip/snifter can pretty much be used for anything. I use it for all the dark/Belgian stuff but have used it for IPAs many times. I use a Sam Adams perfect pint or a nonic pint for everything else. I have a variety of random glassware I've acquired over the years, but a good tulip and a good pint is really all you need

 

Yeah I sometimes drink IPAs from my snifter, but generally only if they are high ABV ones.

Like Founders All Day IPA I would have in a pint glass, but I'll drink DFH 90min from a snifter.

 

I drink most beers from a tulip or a pint glass.

I got this as a gift and it's best glass I own, most expensive too. Nice heavy hand blown glass..

That seems unnecessarily expensive. It can't do anything my Duvel tulip can't do

 

Sierra Nevada/Dogfish Head collab, best IPA/DIPA/Pale/almost anything, glass I have ever had. They make 2, one with the Dogfish logo and one with the SN logo.

 

Do you drive anything more than $15,000 car?

 

For that cost, I'd want more than just the glass hand blown...

 

Do you mind showing me where you purchased this set? I'm only seeing a 4 set on amazon.

 

What is this "pint glass" many of you have mentioned?

 

It's what we used to drink craft beer out of in the olden days.

 

You can get them without the logos as well over on Amazon.

I just got these recently and after doing a side by side comparison with a normal pint glass with Sculpin IPA, I can definitely say the Spiegelau added more character to the bouquet and the taste.
