    Touche'. 3F is actually a very underrated brewery. I'd choose 3F over 3F any day.

    I just got my DLD stein from Dark Matter- does anybody else think the screen printing on these is really messed up? The goblet looks great but the stein is a muddy, unreadable mess.

    Same on mine. You can barely read it.

    Mine are the same, completely unreadable. Really disappointed.

    Same here on the stein. Also, the logos on the purple tasters look terrible, like there are random bits of scotch tape around the decals. If you scratch it off, it takes the decal with it.

    I had ordered the silver ones a week before, and those look just fine.

    My snifters were packed great. No breakage. Got the purple and they look perfect. Dark matter customer service is great from few emails I sent. Take pics and send that in the email. They should make things right. Also that dark blood coffee is delicious!

    Anyone remember what HF pale ale was on tap in the afternoon? I had it and can't remember the name.

    HF Single Hop Citra was on for quite a while. Not sure how long into the afternoon it lasted.

    This. Looks like my 4 year old drew it.

    I got my stein yesterday and the printing sucks. May as well be a solid gold block.

    Stein was definitely most disappointing. I use it at work for coffee mug.

    The glasses though, especially the goblet, are nice.

    Someone posted a complaint about the glassware quality on the DMC FB and they replied with the following:

    you would like to exchange or get a refund? No problem! email orders (2) darkmattercoffee dot com

    I'd recommend people having glassware issues email them accordingly.

    Yea, but I really wanted it to be more of a decorative/collector thing... Coffee work mug is the biggest demotion i could've given it.

    I liked Aquavit! Bargleswade is historically known for being terrible, but I can't confirm that. Good luck on your search :slight_smile:
