BEER glass

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.

Cheers,
Greg

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.

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.
