http://www.amazon.com/Spiegelau-Cla...351263592&sr=8-3&keywords=spiegelau+glassware I just got 4 as a gift, very nice. No idea why they are called a tulip pilsner glass. They seem to focus aromas well. Supposedly the thinness of the glass helps the beer stay at the proper temp, as opposed to a thick walled pint glass absorbing heat...okay. Still very nice.
Love em. Was a little concerned about fragility but they are still going strong after a year. Right up there with my Hill Farmstead glass and a Lawson's tulip my wife found.
I also just got a set of 4 as a gift. They're my new favorite beer glass, especially for higher alcohol beers.
I got all 3 varieties as a gift for my 30th birthday, 3 1/2 years ago. Never took them out of the tubes. Might have to now. Thanks for the heads up!
I have that glass from the 4pk they sell and I use it all the time for American single IPAs. Not so much for a DIPA glass but really helps on the nose with most pales, IPAs. Havent used it for another style yet. Cheers!
looks like i have the Lawson's glass. might lay low for a while, but definitely interested in the new darkness glass, any loon glasses (hope there is one for zwanze day), the fifty fifty glass would be cool too...it really never ends. NEVER.
I bought the set of two at Marshalls while shopping with my girlfriend, I had seen them before and failed to grab them as they were $20.00 for the set of two, when I finally bought them they were on the discount rack for $15.00. Totally worth the money!! I love these glasses for any quality ale!!
Yeah I agree. I thought my ISO for the FiftyFifty would go better. It didnt. So Ill keep searching. I need to do an IP next week for my Lost Abbey Teku for a Jackie O's Tulip with Markintihar while he is here. I have a buddy who grabbed me a Deschutes Snifter. Still want a HOTD Tulip as well. Shit you're right. NEVER ends!!! Uggg! Cheers!
Had 4 for over a year and am left with 3. I think they're pretty awesome and breaking one was inevitable.
Wife got me a pair of these and a pair of the Spiegelau weizen glasses last year. I'm scared to death I'm going to break them as the glass is super thin, but they're great. Use them almost every day, along with my pair of Duvel tulips.
I use them and love em. They are a little thin but haven't had a problem yet. I actually have a set of the three types and like them all
To be honest it is my favorite glass that I own. I had two but a drunken friend tripped with one in his hand immediately after I poured him some Barrel Aged Yeti. The glass shattered and the Yeti went everywhere - I was not happy at all.
No logos, quality glass. Simplicity of execution. Thinner glass has always made for a better mouthfeel with the sip, IMO.
Yea I got the same pack as you OP about 2 years ago. I love the tulip, I kept it at my parents house when I moved out due to not wanting my roommate to use it and break it. But when I go home I always drink out of it.
These are wonderful glasses. I scored 4 of the connoisseur sets at $15.00 apiece. They are great, but I worry about the thinness and fragility, so don't use them often.
I got very lucky and bought a Widmer Brothers Reserve one at Goodwill for a couple bucks! Great glass and for sale at Widmer's website: https://shop.widmerbrothers.com/StoreFront/detail.aspx?ID=2481
I work at Crate and Barrel and we sell these glasses in the 2pk tubes(along with various types of glassware). I use them all the time especially for all my IPAs.... I even put them in the dishwasher and they come out sparkling like new every time
