    Hi there. Not sure if this is an odd idea or not amongst the Breweriana aficionados... but in any case, here goes:
    A while back I came to acquire a fairly large collection of glassware from a restaurant that was going out of business. Not really knowing what to do with this bounty, it occurred to me that I might be able to parlay some of these glasses into some tasty brews that are not available in my area (New England). Most of the glasses are Belgian (or Belgian style), and while I don't think any of them qualify as super rare or exclusive, they are all pretty cool glasses, and I know there are always people out there looking to find some. I'm hoping some people will be willing to trade some solid beer not available in New England - thinking off-the-shelf stuff from places like Bell's, Surly, Deschutes, Odell, 3 Floyds, Terrapin, New Glarus - hell, even New Belgium is in play - or, whatever local brewery you think is awesome that I haven't even heard of yet. In return I can provide a glass or two or more - whatever it takes to make a deal worthwhile.

    Here's what I have available - multiples of nearly all of them:
    - Three Philosophers - Goblet
    - Ommegang - Goblet
    - Chimay - Goblet
    - Achouffe (4 Saisons d'Achouffe) - 25 cl. chalice
    - Achouffe (McChouffe) - Tulip (slender style, or perhaps a slightly fatter flute)
    - La Fin du Monde - Tulip
    - Eau Benite (triple) - Goblet
    - Maudite - tulip
    - De Koninck - 25 cl. goblet
    - Duvel - Tulip
    - Liefman's - Chalice
    - Delirium Tremens - Tulip (25 cl)
    - Stella Artois - Chalice
    - Hennepin - Chalice
    - Raftman - Tulip
    - Unibroue - Tulip (slender style, like McChouffe above)
    - Fischer - .4L tulip
    - Kronenbourg - Weizen (sort of) - not the best beer, but these glasses are pretty cool
    - Barbar - Mug w/ handle
    - Trois Pistoles - Goblet
    - Murphy's Stout - Pint
    - Blue Moon - Weizen

    I believe I've got pictures of all of them for reference. If anyone is interested, shoot me a BeerMail.

    Cheers!

    Hi everyone - good suggestions from several BAs to post pictures for everyone to see, so here is a link to a flickr page:

    I think I'm missing a couple photos which I will try to add later this week.

    Cheers to all!
