    I think the New Glarus R&D Series needs a glass fitting of the R&D Beers. I would propose a 20oz snifter with the Red R&D Logo on one side:

    and the New Glarus Thumbprint / Drink Indigenous logo on the other, in the R&D Red:

    A teku would be cool too, but it wouldn't hold a full R&D bottle.

    Thoughts/opinions?

    I would vote for a R&D sherry-style tasting glass like the Belgians- Cantillon, 3F. Since the R&Ds are all sours.. even if Dan can't call it lambics/geuzes.

    I would go for either choice. I like the idea of having an exclusive glass to match the beer.

    How many ounces do the sherry-style tasting glasses hold?

    Hopefully something different than the current glassware. With two small children, tall glass is bad.

    First off, if they went the teku route, i would hope theyd use the Doom wanna-be teku in lieu of the real teku.

    Second, what's wrong with the Founders Snifter-style glass that used to always be available on the website?

    You're post is confusing to me.

    I get the first part - the Doom glass is pretty cool, and I think that would make a cool New Glarus R&D Glass.

    You lose me on the second part. I don't recall ever seeing a snifter on New Glarus's website. Only their standard pilsner glass. And I was looking specifically for a New Glarus R&D-branded glass, which, to my knowledge, they have never created.

    By "they" I meant founders in reference to their old snifter tulipy glass sorry for confusion
