Let's See Some Cool Beer Glasses!

Do you have a favorite beer glass? If you are really into good beer, you realize that owning several different styles of beer glasses is a must. Some might think that a glass is a glass, but over in countries such as Belgium and Germany, there's a beer glass for every different brand of beer. If you don't drink your beer from a glass, you're missing out on how it really tastes.

On the topic, wash your good glasses in hot water by hand. This will preserve the logos on the outside better. Also, don't use any soaps. Why? Ever see tons of bubbles sticking to the sides of your glass when you pour a beer into it? That's the residue that's left behind from the soaps, greases, oils, etc.

Here's a few glasses in my ever growing collection! Have a cool glass from a brewer, place, or sports team logo? Post a picture below!

1. New Belgium Brewing Snifter glass. This style is good for high ABV beers, such as Imperial IPAs, Double IPAs, etc.
2. Standard 12 ounce glass. This can be used for any beer style of course. The standard.
3. Guinness Pint. A must have. Great for black and tans.
4. Standard English Pint. Good choice for nitro pint cans such as Boddingtons, Tetleys, Murphys, etc.
5. Chimay Goblet / Chalice. Killer glass for Belgian-style brews. Wider top to enhance the aromas and flavor.
6. Bass glass. Guess what? Bass tastes good in it. And it looks damn cool, too!
7. Weisen Glass. A must have for German Hefewiesens. The taller glass is good for the larger heads that these super-carbonated beers produce.
8. Big ol' Beer Mug. Great for when you want to feel like you are at Octoberfest. Just a shit load o' suds.
9. Warsteiner Half Boot. Cool a hell. Watch out for the dreaded bubble that forms in the toe!
10. DAS BOOT! Beerfest anyone? This bitch can hold 4+ beers.
11. Half Yard. Yup. You look dorky as hell carrying this around, but damn, it's fun to drink from it!

Hell yeah! Let me know what you want for it. Even willing to shoot a couple brews out that way in exchange.

Two new American beer glasses in the MLN collection: Stone Arrogant Bastard "It's not too expensive, you're too cheap" and Stone Ruination IPA "I'm very bitter and I like it."

I wonder what would happen if I poured a PBR into one of the beotches ...

You would probably die a long, slow, painful death. It would start as soon as the PBR touched the glass. (and you WOULD deserve it)

Maybe I should test this theory of yours, Luke. If my experiment goes bad ... let my brother know he can have everything in my Manland .... HA!

The latest to the collection: Hoegaarden and Fullers. Now I just need a garden of Hoes to go with it.

How could I resist a Stone Ruination IPA glass at my local store? It's the perfect glass for Ass Kisser Smoked Porter!

Nice bro. I am still working on pictures of my new growlers, tap handles and glasses that were collected over the past month while on vacation. Hoping to get them posted soon.
