You would.

And this is how we stray from the topic every time.....

What topic?

OK... I'll veer back on topic...

My wife says I'm obsessed with beer glasses, so this seems like a good place to post for me. I have effectively trimmed the vast majority of the standard nonic pints, so here's what's on the shelves in the beer pantry now...



What's missing? Well... the Sweetwater tulip I broke the other day (grr...). But... I'd like a Kwak. A better pilsner. A wheat. Maybe a stange. Also a Berliner bowl. But really... I need to thin the ranks more before thinking about more. The shelves are full...

I'd love to show you pictures of my beer glasses...
howsomever....
Moving around in the military, and then changing out wives... well, ... They WERE nice ones that I mostly picked up in Germany...

I've got quite a few of those, mostly European, some from the 80's, etc. I should unpack them all someday. I'm not about to drink from them though.... I'm too clumsy, not about to break any of them.

me too FiT I pulled mine out for this kinda thread on the old site. put most of 'em back in storage i've had to re format my 'puter twice since then so the pics no longer exist here and I sure can't find them on the MrB site now

Storage! Reminds me that I have a set of 1950s gas station glasses with the National League teams on them. Wrapped in the basement. Now, do I use them or sell them to finance brewing?

use 'em, that'd be so cool

Dag? Are you still talking about the beer glasses or the "wives"?

never picked up a "wife" in Germany.
2 from Washington State
1 from New Mexico (and in reality, from Texas...if I'd know that, I'd have given it a miss)
and 1 from Australia via Ireland. The Aussie I plan on keeping.

Wait, were those just the ones you married?

yep.

I can say that there is a huge difference in aroma between drinking my Pliny in the Spiegelau IPA Glass and a regular pint glass. Even I'm surprised how much of a difference. Though both offer an enjoyable experience, I know which one I want to drink my IPA's out of.

I've been collecting the regular 16oz glasses for a few years, bought 9 in Memphis last year. Elvis, Beale St., Central BBQ, Sun Records, Gibson, etc. Great city and my favorite glasses for sure.
