Beer Glass

[paulrussell]

I'm not sure whether this should be in here or in the Food, Drink & Restaurants forum. I'm looking for a decent beer glass as my current one is a cheap plastic one which I'm currently using to store cutlery. I've had a quick search online yet I've had no luck finding any. So where do PHer's buy there beer glasses?

These are good value, functional yet classy all at the same time....

I'm not quite sure how to drink an alcohol beverage with those so you might have to explain how you do it.

Pewter tankard for home drinking. Available from all of your good trophy shops. They start shiny silver and go matte grey colour through use.

I'm not keen on the Pewter tankard as I've never liked Pewter.

Look out for special offers at your supermarket. Mine were doing a deal buy two 4 packs of Carling and get a free glass. I think I have 5 or six
They look like this

Also when you go to a beer festival you buy your glass on the way in and use it all day tasting/drinking beer. Take it home and you have a nice straight glass with a remnder of your day

I've just bought that glass so thanks or the link. I've never been to a beer festival as whenever the one in my town in on I'm always working. I might see when it's on then see if I can get the day off work.

That was only an example to show what it was like. If you can cancel it, here is 4 for £12.20 or just nick one from a pub

I only want one so I'm happy paying £6:55 for a single glass

Carling?!

Yes, Carling as I quite like the design. The important thing is I don't drink Carling.

It seems my memory was wrong as I bought the Carlsberg glass not the Carling glass, also it was the Carlsberg glass I preferred the look of. I did have a look at bigger glass specifically this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Giant-Beer-Glass-Holds-Pin... but then I thought it might be too heavy to lift just for a casual drink.

I've also looked to see when the local beer festival is and found out it was a few weeks ago so no luck there, I also found out that the Sussex beer festival was 2 weeks ago so it looks like I won't be able to go to a beer festival till next year.
