Subject: Source for Beer Glassware


I'm looking for a source of quality beer glasses. I used to buy
Imperial Pint glasses from Crate and Barrel, but they no longer stock.
Anyone know of a good source? I'm looking for classic glassware.

Thanks

Roger

What the heck...I'll reply.

I bought some mugs and some pilsner glasses from bedbathandbeyond.com a
while back. I was a little disappointed with the mugs. The glass was a
lot thinner that I thought it would be. The pilsner glasses are great.
Big and very thick glass. I don't see the ones I ordered on the site
now.

I've also purchased just plain beer glasses at Bevmo.

Oh, and a few years ago, the local bar started carrying Pyramid
Hefeweizen on tap. They had a promotion for a while that if you bought
a beer, for an extra dollar you could keep the glass.

I've found that a lot of local brewpubs/bars/restaurants will happily sell
you some of their customized glassware, basically any place that has specially
printed glasses. Even if they don't normally advertise it, just ask the
waitress and I've found that they'll usually come back from the manager with
"sure, why not". I've gotten a lot of my glassware this way.
