Beer glasses

[spuds]

What glasses do you usually drink from? I change er up depending on what I am drinking.

Half of them are in the dishwasher but I have mostly pub glasses (Libbey or something), 1/2 pint (close enough), and taster glasses both from Dollarama believe it or not.

Not to be confused with beer goggles

My favorite is the Moose light glass on the right, taste and carbonation seems different. Wondering if any of you notice much difference in glasses. I have heard of some who scratch or rough up the inside of their beer mugs to create more carbonation

Do the folks at the Legion still put salt in their beer? I don't know if that was ever the norm here, but it was common in Southern Ontario when I started drinking, lo these many years ago. It's not to create _more_ carbonation, it's to _release_ the carbonation, because commercial brews are typically overcarbed. If the CO2 doesn't come out in the glass, it will come out in your mouth.

The last time I was in a bar drinking garbage draft, which was a loooong time past, I saw people doing that.

Exactly the same with me - the closest I've been in years is 7 years back on a tall ship sailing from Europe - captive to Dutch Blonde (beer, that is). When it's 30 days of something not even as good as Heineken or Grolsch, it might as well be Keith's. Oh well, at least there was a bar.

On a regular basis, i use mainly the keiths type glass in the middle or the sam adam's....and the other's get somewhat regular useage.



here's about two thirds of my collection...gotta put up more shelves i guess. Once i get my own house, i'll eventually have a nice cabinet to hold them all..for now, cheapy shelves will do.



anyone else clutter up their house and collect glasses?

That's a lotta glass...I clutter my house with stainless steel, lol.

[derek]

It wouldn't be clutter for long at my place. I'm hard on glass Stainless steel sounds like a good idea!

Every one has a story.

Funny I came across this now...my glass collection or hoarde...is over 300 and stashed away in numerous cupboards...all branded glasses and starting with Tuborg glasses my father brought back from Sweden in the 1960's through to the latest collector ones offered by the NSLC and LCBO. My Brewnosers glasses are the only non branded ones in the hoard. I too have a heavy stainless collection.

I have a few sets of the Libbey craft beer glasses, plus ones picked up from local breweries. We also had these made a while back

And these are being printed up now for stanfest.

I have some nonic pints from winners I use most of the time as they're large and easy to pour into without getting too much foam. Just big enough that I can pour a reasonably highly carb'd beer from a grolsch bottle with room for a finger or two of head.

I also have some tulip style glasses I use for stronger beers a lot, and some shaker pints that are the right size for a standard 12 oz bottle.

I also have some tall flared wheat beer/pilsner flute hybrid things and some kinda funkier modern pilsner flutes but I don't use them much because pouring into a glass that tall/thin and not getting mostly foam is something my poorly trained hands/my poorly balanced lines are not always up for.
