How does everyone feel about can glasses?

I have a few. I never drink out of them. Believe they are more for show than for a "particular" beer style. My GF loves them. Tulips,and Teku's are all I use normally.

 

Pretty much the very top of the Sam Adams Lager glass with a bottom similar to a pint or a wide pilsener glass. I'm not much of a glass stickler--I've never drank from one, but I'm sure they're ok. More shape to them than a shaker pint or my Lagunitas Mason Jar glass that I use from time to time. Not sure I'm in a hurry to grab one, but wouldn't turn down a beer in one.

 

The Libby can glasses are 16oz not 12 so that should allow more head room.

 

Ah, some can glasses are 12 oz ! Mine are 16oz,... perhaps that is part of why I am happy with mine.

 

They are ok. I dont buy them because I have enough glasses. I hvae had them at bars and im indefferent over all. Althouhg to be fair I dont particularly care what glass its in. They only time I activly grab a "correct" glass is if im trying a beer for the first time. If Ive had it before its going in a shaker pint.

 

I like this glass too.. Glass Solo Cup

 

Sounds like these "can glasses" are just good for beers that you should be drinking out of the can or the bottle anyway. Marketing at its finest.

 

They're for any beer you want to drink out of a glass, basically an alternative to a shaker pint. Clearly they aren't marketed towards the anal people who must drink out of 'proper' glassware.

 

I like 'em. I think they've got a "pop art" style to them. I like the way they feel in my hand and, beer does taste mighty fine out of it. I usually drink beers I've had before out of 'em, but not and enjoyable. always. Proper glassware doesn't always have to be proper; just fun and enjoyable.

 

Never even seen one but it sounds gimmicky as hell. Still I use my lagunitas mason jar pint glass all the time. It's easy to clean too with a dish poof.

 

Not a fan. I personally just don't like they way they look.

 

Favorite of mine as well! Quite the solid glass.

 

I hate them.

 

I have one from a brewery, but I personally never use it. Rather drink from a snifter or tulip.

 

How do I feel about can glasses? I feel like I'm going to be poor. If they are being sold by breweries and brewpubs, I'm going to have to start another collection of printed glassware in addition to my printed shaker pint collection. Does anybody know a beer loving divorce lawyer?

 

I have a couple of them from Night Shift. My wife thinks they're the greatest water glasses ever made. I generally drink my beer from a tulip or Teku, mostly because the can glasses are in use by her.

 

Simon pearce beer glass. So craft.

 

I was given some as a gift and decided to use for my oktoberfest beers, I've been digging it.

 

Not a fan. They look cool, thats forsure, but they seem to produce a lot of head compared to other, more traditional glassware.

I see no benefit in aroma or drinking, they just look cool.

 

It strikes me more as a gimmick than anything else.
