DIPA glassware recommendation

I think you're over thinking this.

 

yes absolutely, even if its not a really heavy beer (stout, dipa) etc. i still enjoy using my duvel glass for session beers, makes the flavor and aroma a lot more pronounced IMO, compared to the typical pint glass at least

 

Anyone who tells you it's an abomination to serve a DIPA in a tulip vs a pint is clearly an idiot or is just trying to be a jerk.

 

Um, you were paying for the beer (and more than one from the sound of it.) What did the bartender care what glass you drank it from?

 

Glass styles are suggestions and not rules. We all may have preference in glassware but we should expect to drink it in the glass of the establishments choosing. We may not agree with their choice but it is probably best to just roll with it.

Personally I am not one to pour my DIPAs in tulips but I would be hard pressed to say it is inappropriate.

 

I think tulips are awesome, they do hold less though don't they? There are times though, I go to the bar and just want to hold a giant pint glass. It just feels good.

 

I never quibble over glassware in bars or brewpubs. Most places seem to skip over tulips and snifters for more durable almighty pint or nonic. I can understand that.

 

It could be because she wnold not be able to know when she had poured a pint, in another glass.

 

"drink from the can!" says heady topper

 

while i suppose i'd prefer a tulip, if the tulip was 12oz and the shaker pint was 16oz, then i'll choose the shaker pint every time.

 

My sam adams 'Perfect Pint' Glass is used for everything. Especially DIPAs!

Any glass with a little tulip to it will enhance just about any beer. There are tulip pints, stemmed tulips, etc... To say that it would be an abomination to serve a DIPA in a pint glass is laughable. Last time I ordered Gubna on tap it came in a 10oz tulip/goblet, without having to ask for it.

 

It's beer, enjoy it in a care free state of mind as it's meant to be enjoyed. Don't fret over silly things like this man!

 

I can see that. But since most tulips tend to hold a bit less than an average pint glass, she would be pouring less, right? I just don't see the point of arguing with a paying customer to the extent that he or she is still stewing about it days later. On the other hand, I also don't see the point in arguing with a bartender over the glass to the point of being ticked off about it. It's a glass. In the grand scheme of things, why let that ruin a good time?

 

you the award for the strangest avatar I've seen in my time on this site. Also, I wish more of the customers at my bar cared about the glasses! we use tulips, pints, and snifters for different styles/sizes, but occasionally people will actually turn down a beer because they don't want a "fancy/girly" glass; their loss, I suppose.

 

The only glass anyone should use at all is the Teku. It accentuates the flavor of hype.

 

It depends on what the bar calls a pint. In NJ a lot of places pour a 12 or 14 oz "pint" not 16. Tulips can be deciving. I have a Palm tulip that can hold 22 oz when filled close to the brim. An oversized wine glass can hold 16 oz bottle of beer with ease. Your right no point in arguing about it .

 

I would drink DIPA's in tulips.
