Hi Guys
I dont know where to start with this topic so I guess ill just start with how I got into collecting/gathering glasses..About 20 odd years ago an aunt of mine gave me a Carlsburg glass that was shaped like an old horn with little lions feet on the bottom of it...After that anywhere I went on holidays I picked up a glass or two and took them home with me..(without bar owners consent mostly ;) )..Working in the states for a while i gathered up 10 or so old style pint glasses with nice engravings on them..Samual Adams,Petes Wicked Ale ,Harpoon Brewery etc
Over the years I have built up quiet a collection...Im really only interested in ones that have the beer names printed on them or different shaped ones..I have maybe 100 or so pint glasses,50 or so halves and a good few shot glasses
Today most of them are nicely wrapped up in newspaper in boxes in my attic but I do keep a few varied ones in my glass press for my beer consumption
My question is how many of you have a favourite glass you drink your beer from at home??
Is it any thing special or just one you like?
Do you have different glasses for different beers?
If ye can I suppose post up a picture of your Glass or glasses or even your collection if ya have one
Regards
Shane

Never mind about the previous post, no rules broken, this isn't boards.ie.
It's a fine collection you have but you're missing one particular limited edition one! ;)
I know.... They are nice and would be well suited in my collection if I knew only knew somebody that had two and wanted to share😜

Edit..Forget that they want €30 delivery to Ireland, and €10 to the UK. I bought a kit from them a few years ago including glasses a peak cap and bottle opener but I don't remember the postage Being
that type of rip off
Don't think I could justify over €20 for a glass.
You could always parcel motel with the UK price of €10

+ 3€ to ROI :)
Plus the price of the glass.
I've loads of glasses anyway. SWMBOs cousins own the local off licence and they sort me out with loads of cool glasses. 8)
Here's comes the 'science' ::)
Looks like Pliskin has one of the IPA Glasses they're talking about, some price ;p but might be worth it, if it does what it says LOL
