I like it when glasses have something interesting laser etched in the bottom. Here is a list of the ones I've found. Please post if you know of others. Dogfish Head signature glass and IPA glass Sierra Nevada IPA glass Delirium Tremens snifter Chimay chalice St. Feuillien chalice Spencer chalice Duvel tulip Allagash chalice Firestone Walker nonic Leinenkugel pint
Would suggest the new firestone pivo pils. Very tall and narrow and you can watch the " bubbles in your beer"
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.
i hate when i buy a glass online to find out its nucleated. and NEVER pour a boulevard saison brett into one. NEVER
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.
