How much beer glassware do you own?

way too much. pretty sure i have all the different beer style glasses. yard glasses, half yard glasses, sam adams not-so-perfect wanna be pint glass. I usually get a glass from every brewery I go to. I stopped collecting pint glasses. I have a english pint from charles and diana's wedding but it broke in a car accident. lol. i gots collectors glasses from star wars from mcdonalds. but my favorite is my 4oz. tasting tulip from blue lobster.

 

I have 4 Sam Adams perfect pints, 2 Newport Storm snifters, an Allagash Belgian glass, 4 small Sam Adams tasting glasses, a DFH IPA glass, a Heady Topper stemless glass, 2 Hill Farmstead tasting stemmed glasses that I had to take from the brewery (sorry Shaun!), and the unbranded Libbey beer glass set. I'd like to get a few more snifters and belgian glasses though.

All in all I have about 5 pints, 2 snifters, 2 belgians, a pilsner, a weizen, an IPA glass, a stemless, 6 tasters and a seidel mug

 

My fiancée says way too much... I say not enough, of course.
I think I have around 100 glasses. Mostly shaker pints, of course, a half dozen nonics or so, and a bunch of specialty glasses of one variety or another.

 

My wife thinks waaay too many as well. Nonic pint, american pint glass, my Boulevard tulip, my Parish snifter, and a set of four Ayinger weizen glasses. Not too many since different styles call for diff glassware.

 

Glasses, steins, krugs, tasters, probably 300 altogether. Enough to completely fill 4 kitchen cabinets Only a few are collection pieces, all the rest are meant to be used.

 

There was a time when I had seven or eight different kinds, multiples of each. Now I'm down to two snifters and a shaker pint.

 

Hard to say off the top of my head. I'd guess about 24 glasses all things considered? Maybe 4 of which I actually purchased?

I'm definitely in the market for a flight paddle and accompanying glasses or two, as well as a stiefel and a yard glass. I also want the Kwak glass (a local Whole Foods has it for cheap but I haven't pulled the trigger) and the Dogfish Head buttplug IPA glass. I also want a nice Teku (ideally Lost Abbey, but I want to buy it in-person to save on shipping). Oh, and stangen for kolsch.

As far as what I do have that I value, I like my Westvleteren goblets, my Guinness goblet, my EKU 28 snifter, and various tulips. I've got your standard nonical and conical pints, weissbier glasses, a Hoegaarden ridged glass, a stein or two, pilsner glasses, etc.

 

50+ glasses, but always use the same 4:

Russian River Stout Glass
Iron Fist Tulip
Russian River Tulip
Green Flash Hop Glass

 

My Trois Pistoles Goblet is the only one I care about.

 

More than I need and still looking for more

 

I have around 190 unique glasses, not including pints. 54 are unique Duvel glasses with a couple more on the way.

 

Let's see... I think I have a glass for any style of beer you can imagine. The classic hefeweizen glass is the least versatile of all glass styles, and I have two of that. As well as:

4 Boulevard tulips
2 Boulevard chalices (I'm not sure if you can even buy these any more, so they get used very infrequently)
2 large snifters
2 large glass steins
4 nonic tumblers, 16 oz
6 standard tumblers, 16 oz

But perhaps my personal favorite is this set of 6 stained-glass window style glasses that used to be my grandfather's. What they lack in style, they make up for in being a complete pain in the ass to wash, since the bottom has a narrower cylinder than the rest of the glass:



PS - based on how hard this image was to find online, I'd bet that Boulevard no longer makes/sells these babies (and yes, that goes for the glass AND the bottle of Two Jokers, which saddens me):

 

I can see I'm outmatched and outclassed here.
I have 3 glasses total: 1 tulip, 1 teku, and 1 snifter.

 

From my wife, got the Libbey craft set. I use the regular pint, pub pint, chalice, and tulip. Other than that, my trusty dollar store pilsner.

 

Way too many pint glasses for any rational human being. Comes as a result of "pint nights" in college where you got logo glasses with whatever beer you ordered for the first two beers of the night (Abita, Rogue, Yazoo, etc...). Now in grad school I'm by Terrapin and if you've ever been to their tasting, I'm sure you understand. I think I'm at about 40. I give them away to visitors at this point.

That aside, I have 3 Cantillon chalices, 2 tulips, and a snifter. It gets much worse if we start looking at cocktail-esque glasses...

 

My favorite beer spot has been giving branded glasses away once a week for the past year. I like the stemware mostly, but I take the shaker pints too, especially if the art is nice. My designated shelf is (about 15 x 54 inches) chock full, shaker pints stacked 3 high. I need to thin them out... Or get rid of my regular glassware to make room for more. I have a Libbey set, which was nice for the money.

I saw a nice set at Macy's the other day. Tempted. Maybe if I get a coupon.

 

Between the swiping and the breaking, my asshole friends make sure my supply stays limited.

 

About 30 different styles spread across 85 unique glasses.

It's a bad addiction.

 

I was having a hard time finding a nice Willibecher glass or two (not 12), and noticed Dogfish Head had a close approximation in its shaped pint. I grabbed a couple of those along with the signature glass and IPA glass; not a bad deal with shipping on the four. I use the DF signature glass for general craft, the IPA glass as intended, and the shaped pints for garden-variety beer (like a SNPA). Throw in a Crate & Barrel pilsner glass, and most of my needs are covered.

Still experimenting with different styles in the different glasses, but the IPA glass really does liven up the brew, almost like having a different beer. If anything, I won't even use it for super hop-forward IPAs, but I like what it does for more pedestrian IPAs. One problem with the IPA glass, which otherwise seems to work as advertised, is that it's a bit hard to clean with the narrow mouth and bottom tube, and feels so slight that it might break at any moment. And the slogan emblazoned on the shaped pints is a bit much. Really like the signature glass; replaces a tulip as my "serious" all-rounder.

I don't drink Weizen, but I have a glass ready for that, too. And a promotional Chimay goblet with the metal rim that I could do without, but keep around should the need arise. Of course my shaker pints are now relegated to water and whatnot now that I'm an enlightened beer glassware aficionado, and I don't really use my nonics much. Or my glass mug or ceramic beer mugs and steins.

Before my Dogfish glass haul, I mostly used a tulip glass from Crate & Barrel, which was quite versatile. I also used C&B's Willibecher, but it was too small. Incidentally, Harpoon has a nice-looking proper Willibecher, but it's a bit pricey for just one or two with shipping.

 

i would indeed....
