DIPA glassware recommendation

Sorry but that DIPA DFH glass is just beyond ugly

 

I use my duvel glass for just about every beer i drink at home, just feels right

 

I switch more or less randomly between a basic imperial nonic and a Duvel tulip for most all the beers I drink and the difference I notice between them is so minimal that I sometimes wonder if people are allowing their imaginations to run away with them when insisting on "proper" glassware.

 

"I'd like a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat."

 

I thoroughly enjoy mine as well.

 

This makes me sad. The best beer bar in my town serves everything in pint glasses :-/

 

Best glassware for stout? = snifter
Best glassware for IPA? = snifter
Best glassware for pilsner? = snifter
Best glassware for sours? = snifter

Seriously, I just use my snifter(s) and teku(s) for everything I drink.

 

That's my favorite glass

 

Oh no, please don't hand me that pint of BCBS.

Said no one ever.

 

I like this type of "Belgian" style glass. It gets your nose in there for every sip and forces you to really smell the beer.

 

I use my Founders snifter for doubles and bigger beers.

 

Double IPA is best served at breakfast time in a cereal bowl with barley and hops. And don't let that shit float around long enough to get soggy.

 

For DIPA's the only appropriate glassware, in my opinion, is either a short-stemmed tulip/snifter or a teku. Drinking a DIPA out of a pint glass is for those that don't know any better. I haven't tried the IPA glasses from Sierra Nevada/DFH, yet.

 

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

 

Agreed. It's super ugly. But I'm not going to knock its utility without having tried it. Honestly though, on the topic of this thread, I notice a serious difference in aromatics when using a a tulip or goblet or red wine glass when I drink. And it doesn't matter what style of beer–they all smell better!

 

I thought the glass didnt look too great in pictures online but in person I love it. Don't knock it till you try it and see it for yourself, it doesnt look as awkward in front of you.

 

Same. I use My Teku for everything, with a snifter on some occasions.

 

It's a great glass. Don't waste your time trying to educate the pleebs.

 

Snifter/Tulip/Blah blah blah

 

To me, glassware shape is about as important as speaker wire in a home theater system. Take that however you want.
