Kwak glasses

I was browsing the Salvation Army store yesterday and found these beauties. Picked them up for $1.50 each. A bit of a PIA to use and clean, but a fun conversation piece nonetheless.

I found this fun info on them. http://drinkingmadeeasy.com/blog/kwak-a ... -put-down/

Anyone else seen or used these?

Note: new forum, I suck at pics. It may not show up...help appreciated.

Man those are cool. I want a couple. The best way to clean those, I would say a bleach soak would solve that problem. Like mini yard glasses. Looked them up and they are $25 on amazon, so you got a deal my friend

Nice find. I'd soak them overnight in hot PBW then rinse well and if they can fit in the dishwasher, use the sanitize cycle.
You do know that you will need to post a picture of your beer in this glass?

They were pretty clean, so I just hand washed them. There's no crud, so that's good. I did read not to soak the base, though. And yes, I looked them up on eBay before purchasing. Worth a flip, but too cool to do that. I'll post a pic of my saison (my current draft) as image practice!

Mr bandguy is not alone in his picture-posting woes. I am similarly technologically challenged, and consider it a major victory when I can successfully post a picture.

The rest of the time, I feel like I need someone to cut my meat for me. I hate feeling so stupid about these things, but I just don't get it.

I'm usually ok with tech. But forum pics, not so much. Took me 2 years in the old place!

I use Tapatalk to post pictures...it's real easy to do it there. But I also use an iPhone and an iPad, so that might be part of the reason too.

Yeah, I don't need to edit or re-size images when posting using Tapatalk; makes posting images very easy.

Sorry MrBandGuy, not my job now...

Click on share (at Flickr). There is a link in there with IMG tags. Apparently this forum uses IMAGE tags instead. Sometimes you have to get rid of the 's' in https to make it work.

Are you using Flickr like MrBandGuy or something else?
