last time was April or may. Then it got too hot.

I've been trying to put something together now that weather has cooled but haven't found the time.



Yep.

Hell our last Pale ale cold crashed itself with an open window in the bathroom last week when it was in the 30's.

Have you seen the Coolbrew chambers? they're like carboy coozies that apparently keep batches well regulated.

Like I said, world market has a good selection of different styles and sizes. Just piece it together one by one.

The top one might work... but I'd say a belgian style tulip would cover most of your bases.

Forget traditional "pint" glasses like the second link. They're not doing anything for your beers.

Ommegang has a gift set out at the moment that has a pretty nice glass in it.

Good advice here Hulk. Again, my advice is to buy 4 inexpensive wine tumblers and then supplement with other stuff from gift boxes.

if I was spending that money I'd get one of the badass duvel collectors tulips.

I've pieced together some glasses but mostly just use a stemmed iced tea glass (stretched out wine glass like one in that 3 pack you were looking at), or wine glass.

I really like the Sam Adams glass I got at calandros for like $8. Probably my favorite glass to drink from.

Weyerbacher Heresy from Pa. Anyone traveling up that way should try anything from Weyerbacher. This is an oak aged imperial stout

I've got two of those but neither one is pictured.

Love them for a Rayon Vert when you need that extra space.

Reading about glassware has pushed me to ordering a new glass.

Cigar city's snifters are very nice and only $6.

Any other brewery or glassmaker have great glassware for decent price.

Suspense,

I actually only found out about them when I saw yours. I really like them but eBay prices were on te high end.

Where'd you get them?

Good call on World Market. Nice snifters there.

Saved have the bottle of GR for tomorrow. Then had a little sample of my homebrewed pecan ale after setting up the tap handle.

No kidding? They are going to make this year's Pro-Am a year round beer? I guess they will rename it because Pro-Am is a seasonal series and the recipe changes every year, according to the SS website. I hope your info is good because I love Pro-Am.


According to List Eater, who got his info at the brewery, it will be year-round under a new name

Very exciting indeed

We got them in San Diego I believe.

Avenue pub was doing a Monday night thing where they went through most of them.

Maybe they'll turn up for cheap sometime on eBay.

They ain't sexy or exotic, but you're going to need some plain old pint glasses too

A lot of beers are perfectly fine out of a pint

I have some of the Sierra Nevada pint glasses with the hop etched into the bottom of them.



I probably use them the most.
