    Would suggest the new firestone pivo pils. Very tall and narrow and you can watch the " bubbles in your beer" :slight_smile:

    The generic Sam Smith glass has a design on the bottom I believe.

    A couple years ago, Funkwerks made a narrow tulip for a Valentine's Day release with a heart etched into the bottom.

    The Sam Adams glass was one of the first to use the nucleation etching I think.

    Yep, their standard nonic pint has their white rose logo in paint on the bottom.

    Newcastle has a couple. Budweiser Budvar has a huge "B" on the bottom of one. I have Chimays with 2 different bottom-of-the-glass designs: a the Chimay shield and a Fleur de Lis (did I f that up?)

    Anyone with specific recs for 12 oz nucleated glasses? The 16 oz'ers sometimes leave a little too much room for me. Options I've scanned so far include this guy...

    DFH also has one w/ a 12 oz pour line.

    And the New Belgium Globe glass too.

    This sounds like a hilarious disaster. I'd love to see a video of someone putting a Saison-Brett on one of those charger plates that Guinness used to hand out.

    i poured my wife some and didn't think about it. the head just never kept rising, a good 2-3 "s constantly. had to dump into a new glass just to finish filling. it was also nearly a year old so the brett was lively too.

    Latched onto a deal on eBay for the New Belgium Globe glass finally. Besides the nucleation, I really like these squatier styles, with the short stem, wide base, and wide bowl. Just feels more sturdy. Coupla Interwebs pics to give an idea:

    Yup, don't know why this isn't a more commonplace glass, it's a sturdy piece that works for just about any style. Having a 12oz and 16oz option is bonus.
