Yah, it really looks like a shitty butt-plug. No clue why everyone is buying into this shit.

They had the lager, wheat and tulip glasses from speg there. Not sure when this ends, but I got the last ipa box when I was at garden city.

I found that some are etched on the bottom and some aren't, not that I think it makes much difference with these ones

As in nucleation etching inside the glass? I don't think Spiegelau do that at all, do they?

 

[doon]

What we are meant to drink beer out of these? I have been shoving them up my arse.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I've found that they don't look shitty until after use.

Those spiegelau glasses are quite big - the wheat beer glass is 700ml. I wonder is that is just 200ml of head room?!
I bought a couple of the IPA glasses, very nice glass, no seam ridge, etc. But I'm too frightened of breaking them to use them much.

 

[adamh]

normally a hefewezien glass will have a 500mL mark a few inches below the top - this is where the head goes - so I guess it's around 200mL

the wheaties are very thin but seem to be pretty tough. yes wheat beer glasses have extra room for head.

I can confirm that the wheaties don't surive a fall from rack on sink to kitchen floor after being knocked over by a pissed idiot... I'll miss you wheatie
