Spiegelau has created a special IPA glass

That's good to hear! Will be interesting to see how the prices compare to the american sites.

well going by the price difference (of various other glasses) between http://www.riedelglass.com.au/ and http://www.riedelusa.net/ I would expect $29.90 AUD for a box of two.

I would expect $29.90 AUD for a box of two.

I was expecting about $15/glass. That's pretty good value. A test postage works out to $13.52 for me, which would bring it up to $43.52. I got quoted $36.94 for 1 glass shipped to me. So the value is pretty good, assuming they are going to be sold around that mark.

Looking forward to it!

$24.90 for a box of two. Pre orders now for delivery in May in Oz. Follow the links from the above posts.

You're looking at the US website mate.. The first link is the AU site.

I didnt think id have to spell it out, but I suppose I should have been more clear with my original post:

The glasses are listed for $24.90 USD on the US site.

A number of other glasses which are listed for the same price on the US site, are ALSO listen on the AU site for $29.90 AUD.

So, if they keep with the same pricing structure, that's what we can expect to pay.

fantastic glasses, i have the tall pilsner ones and the wheat, but i must say they are quite delicate and fragile

The wheat beer glasses are great. But it nearly makes me cry pouring a 345mL bottle and it only comes about 1/3 of the way up the glass.

Well my Sierra Nevad IPA glasses arrived today. Nice looking glasses but the glass is not as thick as i thought it would be. Will have to be careful after a few refills!!
Not sure if you can make it out in the photos but there is a hop flower etched into the bottom, nice touch. Cant wait to try them out.

Very nice Doubleplugga! Did you go directly through the Sierra site or?

 

[Doubleplugga]

Yeah mate through the SN site, they have a gift shop online. I wanted the Dogfish Head ones but was having dramas with their website due to the fact that I was getting the glasses delivered to a US address but my billing address was in Aus. SN didn't seem to be bothered by it!! 2 glasses delivered was around 31 dollars Aus mate.

The 'designed for IPA' story is a load of bollucks:

[Liam_snorkel]

lol.

so they've bumped the red/white glass up to a full pint and given it an etched bottom.

Wine glasses are already designed to boost aromatics, makes sense that they would use the same design. Though they did masturbate the facts a little in their advert.

ed. The IPA glasses hold twice the volume and are 20 bucks cheaper than the champagne glasses too.

 

[Batz]

A little :icon_offtopic: but look what I scored.

Five Palm Belguim beer glasses...$10.00..that's $2.00 each :lol: Gotta love op shops.

I think you might be looking at a different glass. this is the o-riedel one: http://www.riedel.com/collections/glass-collections/d/o-riedel/red-white-1/

It holds 490ml (compared to 540ml for the IPA glass). They are dearer though.

 

[felten]

They don't seem to be available from the AU site, just these http://www.riedelglass.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=0414/08

ed; I was redirected there from the riedel.com link via the shopping cart icon, just noticed they're a different design anyway :\

From the Riedelglass website:

Spiegelau has discovered that every style of beer has its own balance of characteristics. Unless the shape of the glass is matched to the style, the flavours and aromas will be lost instantly.

I'm all for using appropriate glassware, but that second sentence is an absolute load of rubbish!

 

[Liam_snorkel]

this is the only Aussie site I can find with them (not the IPA glasses) for sale. $60 for three + $10 shipping

i suggest that you go along to one of their glass tastings then and see for yourself.
