CORRECT BEER GLASS

[DEMPSEY]

I asked the barman in the Bierhaus to put mine in a normal pint glass. He looked at me like I had 2 heads and said "I suppose that depends on what YOU consider a normal pint glass" 

I think I would like that barman,could have fun with a game of counter quips

The only correct beer glass is the one with beer in it

The 'Stein' you are referring to is actually a beer mug made of glass. A proper traditional Stein was usually made of porcelain, pewter, stoneware silver or wood and had a hinged lid that could be opened with the thumb http://learn.kegerator.com/beer-glasses/

I have a love hate relationship with THE STEIN.
Each Christmas we travel to the PAULANER BEER TENT in Galways Eyre Square for a few festive bevvies.
LOVE:
The contents
The Volume
The feel of it
Cuts the number of times you have to goto the bar in 1/2.

HATE:
When you are near the end of the glass you go for the final "GULP" only to discover that there is probably 1/2 - 1/4 pint still left in it....BIG GULP.
I always seem to drink the first one fast....almost as if its a pint....
The weight of the bloody thing. Sometimes you dont have the luxury of a table to be sitting at.

Oh BTW this has turned out to be a very interesting thread.....Cheers for all the input.....taking it all on board.

I actually like my ipa glass for ipas, I was using a tulip glass for a black ipa I made, and I used the ipa glass today and the aroma was in my opinion stronger and way more notice than the tulip glass. I have my eyes on their new weissbier glass, I love the look of them.
