Head Master Glasses

[clean brewer]

I went to my Hospitality supply store yesterday to get a couple things and bought a couple 425ml Headstart glasses, couldnt believe it when she told me the price, $1.60(per glass).. I simply just could not believe how cheap they were, the standard 425ml glasses were only $0.90 aswell..

Then you get places like Target, Big W etc trying to flog Beer Glasses off for $30 for 6 of the f--kers..

Anyhow, I know where to buy any glass now..

Cheers

I got 6 of the 425mL Headmasters from fleabay this week after reading about them here. Bloody beautiful I have to say.
They've got a good feel to them and the nucleated base worked wonders on my poor version of Pale Ale.
Very happy with the post packaging too, props to the seller. They packed them in bubble wrap, then 3 each inside these thick air cushioned cylinders, lovely.

Wondering now how long it'll take me to work my way through the six with careless breakages.
This could be the start of a very tidy glass collection.

They are cheap because people steal them from the pub.

I've got a few nucleated glasses, one is a Headmaster, the others aren't branded. They do work well though. I've also got a glass like the one pictured on the first page next to the beer jug with the red beer in it which is my main glass. It doesn't have an etched bottom but still seems to hold a pretty good head. I might make a few small scratches in it, might not. I had one previously that got broken that I'd etched myself and it worked really well.

I myself find they release the saturated co2 prematurely leading to less carbonation bite halfway through the beer, I believe these were bought out to allow faster pouring by inexperienced bar persons beer should not have that big soft frothy top you get from them you only need to watch the glass to see the co2 being quickly released when the idea is to maintain co2 saturation through out the beer

Are they commercially available to the public? In what quantities? I work part time up the street from a hospitality supplies comany in Fortitude Valley but I'm nearly always scheduled at weekends so they are shut, may take a special trip in there.
Or can you only souvenir them?

i bought a couple of headmaster glasses yesterday and on filling one with my keg brew i imeadiately realised that they certainly promote a great head, now my normal beer glasses did have a really nice head anyway but they were slightly small and i didnt have many, what i saw in the headmaster glasses was that they really let the co2 come out of suspension very quickly. almost like they were way over carbed, however they had a good hand feel to them and held a nice amount of beer, so i havent really tested them over a period of time but they do seem like a really nice glass,anyone else use them and what are your thoughts
cheers

Hello there
Wow, sounds like you had quite the experience with those Head Master glasses! It's always exciting to find new ways to enjoy your brew. The quick release of CO2 does seem like it could give you a nice, frothy head. I haven't given them a try yet, but it's awesome to hear they feel good in your hand and hold a good amount of beer. Maybe others here have used them too and can share their thoughts. Cheers to discovering new favourites!
