Beer Glass Obsession

[Pete2501]

I love my beer glasses gents. I've got dimple ones, standard pub pint glasses, speciality beer glasses ie. Duvel, Lwenbru, Redback(old and new), James Squire.

I even bought a tiny glass for tastings. It's so cute I love it.

My favourite session glass though is a schooner (about 425ml). It's a nice weight in the hand and still enough in the glass to keep you from topping up all the time. I also got a couple pint glasses with handles from Wheel and Barrow which are great. Some times I prefer the handle style glasses if I think things are going to get a bit pissy.

Piccys will follow soon once I get home. This post has been brewing inside me for a while now and it had to be posted.

I too am obsessed with beer glasses, although I don't have a huge amount, but I'm working on that. I'm also obsessed with beer bottles, about 4-5 years ago I decided to keep a bottle (empty of couse) of every brew I've tried, good and bad. I now have quite alot of beer bottles on display in my fermenting room/study, that much in fact I'll now have to start getting rid of the beers that were crappy.

I'm not obsessed, I just occassionally buy, get, appropriate. I've given up largely on the five finger discount method of collecting, half the time places in Europe would just give us one when we asked anyway...

I don't consider myself a collector, or this would probably be a lot bigger.
These are a few months old too, the collection has expanded further and spilled over onto the book/beer shelf beside these.

These are just the collection too, the drinking glasses are a cupboard in themselves...

Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, I've only got 2 or 3 beer glasses in the cupboards. Its a little embarressing when you've offered a homebrew to someone and then can't actually give it to them in a beer glass. However, the 4 old school glass beer jugs does partially make up for it.

Ditto. I'm showing the misses that my 20 or so isn't that bad.

And this is why I need another few years before I show my small collection on this thread.

oki doki brisbane glass lovers?

i did a bit of a clean up of the beer glasses this arvo and have a few beauties up for offer if your keen n feel the need ??

i would prefer to go as one job lot but will split if needs be


1 x chimay = $10

1 x duvel = $10

1 x rochefort = $10

1 x pilsner urquell = $10

1 x grolsh ( not in pic, 25cl flute style) = $10

2 x lowenbrau = $10

1 x mega stein paulaner = $10



or as i would prefer $50 for the job lot which is pretty good for 7 different glasses from the worlds top brewers !

local pick up only as postage would be a bitch package wise.
