Spiegelau glasses

I recently got an Amazon gift card for $30 and decided to just blow it on something that I normally wouldn't buy. Just something fun.

I decided to buy a 2-pack of these because they are the "ultimate IPA" glasses and, well.....why not?

They will be here tomorrow. I'll do my own side-by-side with the tulip glass that I normally drink my IPAs out of and post some thoughts. Even if they don't make it any better, I like the way they look and they were basically free so I've lost nothing in the process.

Pics and thoughts to come.

I have some and love them and this week I spent $27 for 4 Teko glasses. Yes, much like hops, I have a glass problem too!

I'm still planning to buy 4 Stange glasses for my Kolsch habit. For drinking IPAs I've been using my Libby Dimple glasses, I didn't know there were dedicated IPA glasses out there until I read this thread.

Those are the glasses used in the video I posted, right? I've never seen or heard of them before.

I know what you mean. There are so many things to stay on top of.

I don't always use the "right" glass. Often, I use the mason jars I got from Lagunitas because I like them and that's good enough for me. These are just a fun purchase.

I'm curious about your experience with the Speigel glasses. My glassware collection came from the Dollar Tree, where I found a shockingly large collection of style specific glasses for $1 each: Tulips, imperial pints, pilsners. I'm looking for goblets as I've only found one there before.

I didn't buy any there and had mine since before that trip.
I like them but they are very thin though it seems many are made that way.

Same here, I've had their IPA glass for awhile and it does make a difference, even with the same beer.
Though the glass is thin, it is super strong due to the quality of the glass.
Now if I win the lottery, I love to have a set of these or I might drop a few hints for Birthday and Christmas. ;) But I might just have to get the Limestone glass anyway.

You had to post those? I am refraining for the rest of the year unless you get too many for your birthday and give them to me.

I was dropping the hint so you would buy me a set. You do love me. Right?

Those Pretentious glasses look awesome. It might be nice to get one just to say I have one!!!!.

Chuck was nice enough to buy one of the Sierra Nevada Spiegelau IPA glasses for me. He's such a nice guy, thanks. I love it. The design on the bottom of the glass creates a perfect head when the beer is poured, which really opens up the aroma of the IPA.

My wife bought me a set of 4 of the Dogfish Head logo Speigelau IPA glasses last year. I love them. I was concerned about the thin glass but have had no issues. I think they do make a difference.
