Improper glassware

As long as its glass and not frosted I don't mind

 

Always out of a glass, but sometimes I'll have a DIPA out of a simple tumbler glass even though my tulip and snifter glasses are sitting right there. They gotta know who's boss.

 

I'm okay as long as its not a "frosted glass". Nothing screams "I don't know beer" more than that.

 

Well I was pretty happy with my improper glassware experience. Went to BWW And ordered a GI Matilda because they are $3.50 everyday and it was served in a pint glass, so I ordered quite a few more.

 

My girlfriend got me a set of Lagunitas mason jars after I was served a Lil Sumpin Ale last summer at Michael Diversey's in Chicago, and fell in love (with the glass, that it)...It's not my go too but I do like them. Really like my Founders snifter, and my Samuel Adams Perfect Pint Glasses are nice, as well.

 

Being offended by glassware is laughable. It's BEER! Take Charlie Papazian's advice, "Relax, don't worry. Have a (home)brew".

 

I normally am the first to mentally/publicly hate on anyone who I feel is complaining about first world problems... but if you're gonna be dumb as sh*t (like I am) and spend a ka-jillion dollars on a bottle of beer, PLEASE POUR IT IN THE CORRECT GLASSWARE. Science, Bro.

 

I'll say what little about it I can:

The Duvel I recently poured into a standard mug simply wasn't as good as the Duvel I poured into a Belgian ale glass about two nights later.

Holy crap ... the way that ale glass helps focus the head ... I'm a beer novice in many ways, but I know enough to know the Duvel in the mug was damn good but the Duvel in that proper glass was freaking unbelievable.

With that said, if you hand/serve me a beer, I'm going to drink it. And I might ask for/order another ...

 

Yeah, nothing pizzes me off more than beer in a Mason jar. Not worldwide wars, insurmountable debt, incivility, senseless murder, inflation, shrinking paychecks etc. Nope, not nuthin'. Mason jars take the cake.

 

I just open the bottle/can and stick a Pink Bendy Straw in it, and I'm good to go.

 

I love improper glassware bars! A bar where I live does shaker pints for everything they have and from 4-9 every day it's $2.50 for ANY beer they have. Just yesterday I had a Narwhal and a Bigfoot ale in a shaker pint and it only cost $5. They do it with Hopslam too. So in my mind, improper glassware wins

 

Please don't stereotype us frosted glass lovers. I actually know quite a bit about beer!

 

Who gives a shit, a good beer is good regardless of what glass it's served in

 

When at home its almost always a tulip or a snifter...but sometimes it just doesn't matter. This was taken on a beer trip with friends at a shitty El Cajon hotel around 3am. It was one of the best and most memorable beers I've ever had, plastic cup and all.

 

Frosted glasses are really the only thing that bothers me. Another related thing that irks me is when I will have some amazing/expensive beer left in the bottle because my glass is small and one of my friends starts drinking out of it. It is such a waste. I am happy to share, but not if they drink it out of the bottle.

 

Nothing pisses me off more than those Hill Farmstead wimpy wine glasses
posing as beer glasses. Worse? Those tek tu(?) ones. I mean what the name if holy farts are those for? It's like you can imagine some glass Japanese warrior to crawl out from it and tell you you are doing it all wrong

 

I like my glassware but generally I'm not stupidly precious about it. I do draw the line at drinking out of styrofoam/paper/plastic cups and straight from the bottle though.

 

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. No tulips while tailgating.

 

If I had put enough thought and dedication into a tailgate to bring a Rare, you better believe I'll be drinking that $45 bottle of beer out of a snifter. I'd probably even be picky about what snifter I was using.
