    So its basically the same signature glass they sell at Hilltop except it has the "Celebrating 20 Years 1993-2013" printed above the logo?

    I'm far more curious as to what the 20th Anniversary beer actually is.

    You sure? Some of us have pretty nice cellars here in New Beezy.

    If it's anything like the glass, maybe it's spotted cow with a new label?

    I posted this in another thread. From a NG distributor, it's a "Strong Belgian Dubble"

    Is that where they only blend 2 beers together? Maybe Alex can chime in on this.

    As a 20th Anniversary glass, it most certainly does. But I love the normal glass. It's my go-to lager glass. And I drink boatloads of New Glarus lager.

    So there are 2 diff 20th anniversary glasses and according to Uncle Mikes which I went to last night Winter Warmer is the 20th anniversary beer. They were claiming it was a special edition of it but it was exactly the same. Extremely fishy by NG since the beer isn't bad but easily one of the worst in the series.

    That's funny how they call it 20th Anniversary Beer but won't call it by its actual name. I guess they're just trying to get rid of excess inventory.

    So, from a number of different sources pieced together - the 20th anniversary beer will be a Belgian Dubbel (source - Stubby's Pub on their invite to the New Glarus Beer Dinner featuring Deb Carey for MKE Beer Week). It will not be released until May (source: Benno's in West Allis). Seemingly, it was supposed to be ready in April - multiple bars advertised having the 20th Anniversary beer for MKE beer week but have now changed their offerings - including both Stubby's and Benno's. Hopefully sherm1016 can proved us with some additional info.

    Sorry to whoever drank a Winter Warmer thinking it was 20th anniversary, what a boring beer.

    I feel kinda bummed out. I had a rep come in and talk up Edel Pils as the beer they were doing for their 20th anniversary. Whats this of a Belgian dubble?
