    What are your two or three "Go To" glasses for tastings, ticking, favorite design/brewery, or just cause it feels like home?
    Mine are:
    DFH Signature glass (IPA/Belgian styles/Saison/APA)
    Bruery Tulip (RIS/American Imperial Stout/Imperial Porter/Barleywine)
    Ithaca Excelsior Tulip (RIS/AIS/IP/BW/American Wild Ale/Saison/Quad/Wee Heavy)

    Although I do love the design of the Adirondack Iroquois IPA pint glass.

    For drinking at home it's either one of the Duvel Artist Series glasses (usually Parra, I'm a sucker for the monsters) or my Beer Revolution glass (seen here with some KBS). For tastings I like to use either my Sourfest or Bistro Barrel Aged Fest glasses.

    If I have a trappist quad I'll drink it out of a chalice, and sometimes I use other things, but those are the heavy lifters.

    Agreed about the Duvel artist series glasses. New favorite is my NODA Brewing snifter. Really miss my Duvel Green tulip, perfect size and shape for just about everything, but my Fantome tulip works in the meantime.

    Founders/Kuhnhenn/Jolly Pumpkin tulip (all the same size and shape) or larger snifter for stouts, barleywines, and any of the Belgian styles
    Tall 16 oz. tulip for IPA's/DIPA's
    CBS snifter for something really special

    I plan on trying out my Lindeman's flute for sours. I haven't done that yet.

    Also, my inner beer nerd likes drinking out of brewery-specific glassware, depending on the brand I am having. Yes, it's stupid. I can't help it.

    Coast snifter for barleywines, stouts and porters; Ommegang or Chimay goblet for dubs/trips/quads and other Belgians; Brooklyn tulip for everything else.

    Right now it's my Ithaca Tulip glass and that will likely be a mainstay but I don't have most of my glassware with me since I'm working on a seasonal project and I had to pack light. I'm looking forward to having a beer out of my Chimay chalice and Hennepin Flute soon.
