I've noticed lately that some glasses are better for certain BEERS. My lagers turn out fine in tall narrow glasses, but other beers hold their carbonation better in wide big mugs. I guess thats normal but I thought my last Black rock wasn"t that good, but in the big mug it ain't to bad

Which BR was it?

I find heavier beers are best suited to more open-mouthed glasses. I agree with you in respect to lagers. Lagers and pilsners are best in tall glasses. I find blondes are good in long-stemmed, rounder glasses (almost like wine glasses).

The old mug is always good, as is the 1L stein. I love that stein.

I've found that the traditional style of glass for the type of beer is best.A pint glass for stout or bitter and a glass that looks like a champangne flute for wheat/wizen is best.

I agree. Beer drinkers have had millenia to discover what to drink beer out of, and those have become 'traditional.' I stand by their decision

I have a Guinness glass i got with a 4 pack ready for Stouts (and i use it for my Grolsch bottle contained Dark Ale so i can pour it all at once), I have a Short stemmed, conical shaped Crown Lager glass for my pilseners and lagers, and a stemmed Grolsch and pretty simple James Squire glass for everything inbetween.

A bit off topic but i reckon the 7 oz glasses are the best to drink out of. Pity they're so damned small

I found this awesome Glass that holds well over 3 tallies.


Mrs Glass said I had to give it back as she had nothing to put the Flowers in.

James Squires pint glasses for me
theyre tall & have a wide mouth - best of both worlds

500ml Kozel glass (shaped a bit like a pint glass) if I'm feeling thirsty, or 285ml Cooper's glass (the older, squatter style, not the tall ones) otherwise.

My current favourite is an English style pint glass I purchased from the local HBS.

I have a variety of other glasses to choose from, it seems every other b'day or christmas I get some more beer ware.

What I really want are some glasses that I can pour an entire homebrew stubbie into at once without the glass looking half empty, or having all the sediment kick up when I put the bottle down because it didnt all fit.

NT,

Try and swipe a "Schmiddy" from somewhere. They're about 350 ml.

At most pubs I hate them, but at home getting a 375 ml stubb neatly into a glass and not looking short changed - ideal.

Cheers,
Greg.

Straight from the bottle like I am now I reckon.

Oh shit , wait, yep I am drinking a comercial to gain more bottles!!!

Coopers General Store has some 375ml stem glasses, just not so sure on the stem glass design though. Not to mention its $17.50 for just 2 of them. Think I might hit the place i got my crystal glass whiskey tumblers from and see if they have some decent beer glasses.

Stuff the glass glug it straight out of the bottle.

I personally enjoy drinking commercial lagers out of the Pewter pint mug I got for my 18th. Not appropriate for most ales I don't reckon though.

Where do you get those James Squire Pint glasses from?

Cheers,
Jay.

Never seen the Squire pint glasses, just the half pints. I'd be interested to know a source on the pint version.


Oliver

just stick your mouth under the keg tap

I was wondering who was going to get there first
