DIPA glassware recommendation

I'll skip over the discussion over what is the right glass, as I sip my HopSlam in a Storm King pint glass.

On the other issue here, as someone was has spent over twenty years asking for soft drinks and mainstream beers to be served in stemware for the women in my family, my reaction is "what is the bartender's problem?".

I mean, I can see the abomination line as a joke, but in the end, give the customer what they want when it's that easy.

 

I drink my DIPAs from tulpis or snifters. In the end, it doesn't really matter. It was stupid that he was arguing with you though. You could have gotten really mad and walked out, and he would have lost a costumer. Stupid from a business point of view. Just serve the beer

 

Tulip glass all the way!

 

FACT!

 

Ive done this once at a restaurant that isnt known for beer.

I once ordered a Flower Power and it came in an old style pilsner glass while a friend ordered a gin/vodka/whatever and tonic and it came in a duval style tulip. I asked for a tulip for my second Flower Power and everything was fine.

 

I think both you and the bartender are taking it a bit too seriously.

 

Can't go wrong with either a pint glass or a tulip IMO.

 

Agreed

 

Beer is supposed to be fun ... we recomend it though we don't expect people to live by it, it is a personal preference (choice).

Just had this DIPA in my Spiegelau glass ... but I drink nearly every beer out of this glass.

 

I bet you were so worried about drinking the dipa from a tulip that you didn't even get a bottle of blighs.

 

I like big wine glasses that I get at the Dollar Store. They are perfect beer glasses for most styles. If you want to.actually fill it, it will hold almost a full bomber. So I guess they have a 21 ounce capacity. $1 is a great price too. Ive got shitloads of them.

 

Other than the glassware travesty, did you try the Hefeweizen? So good.

 

This is the correct answer.
Quite frankly, if you asked for the beer to served in your boot, thee correct response woulf be
"Left or right boot sir."

 

Perfect glass choice in my opinion. I always drink DIPA's out of a short stemmed tulip/snifter such as this.

 

the duvel tulip is a pretty rad glass. The SA perfect pint or whatever is a really functional piece of glassware.

 

The Spiegelau glass above looks similar to the glass I drink everything from when at home... the New Belgium globe. Everything from SNPA to Sucks to Raspy, yum!

 

After having Boulevard's Double-Wide IPA from their own Smokestack tulip glass, I will be pouring DIPA's into a tulip from now on. Perfect glass for DIPA's IMO, just perfect.

Side note: I also find Sam Adams Boston Lager glasses work great for just about ANYTHING in a pinch. I highly recommend them to anyone getting into craft/quality beer. Great all-purpose glass. Can be had for $3 at many stores = no brainer purchase.

 

one without holes
