I think I'll take the high road on this....

Comment retracted cannondale. I don't know you well enough to joke with you (I had said "But seriously..." ) - so fair enough.

Anyone know if the Duvel gift pack is still coming, or has it been dropped?

EDIT: haha... it just popped up today on the LCBO website... those who are interested it looks like it's available at a LOT of stores.

I have a lot of nice belgian glassware but for some reason I still don't have this one

This glass is going to get a lot of use... in fact so much use... I believe I'll pick up another... Duvel is in my top 10 beer... the new year is coming up... a 750ml will not go astray!

I think I have just purchased my own Christmas / Birthday gift.

I have 2 Duvel glasses (one I found in a garage sale), and they probably get the most use out of all my glasses. You can also order them from the Duvel USA website (ommegang.com) . I got an Ommegang chalice from them for about $6 (with free shipping too).

Firstly, who would ever sell their Duvel glass in a garage sale? Secondly, thanks for the heads up on the ommegang site and their shipping policy. I have a bunch of their beers at home, and would love to drink them out of their own chalice, so I think I have a new item for my Christmas list!

I'm hollering a lot for Duvel today, but worth keeping in mind that useful glassware does (and if we use it, should) get broken. I'm sticking away some spare Duvel Tulips in my top cupboard as a backup!

My 3-shelf beer glass cupboard is getting rather jammed. I can highly recommend the Maredsous pack, because they have replaced the questionable tall fluted chalice with (for me) a much more useful, lower shape. I mean it's a VERY good glass (shape and balance), even compared to my favorites! I also like Maredsous very much.

It was my brother-in law's garage sale, he had no idea what he was selling, a buddy of his probably scoffed it from some bar. The ommegang thing may be a glitch in their shipping system since it's doesn't have much info in regards to Canadian shipping, but it arrived very quick (a few days) for 6 bucks.

Have to share... bought the Leffe gift pack finally yesterday convincing myself that 15$ for 2 Leffe Radieuse was good since its rare we ever see this outside of Belgium...

Went home, opened the pack which should contain 1 x blonde, 1 x brown, 2 x radieuse....

Got 1 x brown, and 3 x radieuses in mine.

Booyah! Is this commonplace?

I didn't realize these packs had the Radieuse! I think I'll have to grab one.

I got the proper proportion of radieuse in my pack, unfortunately.

Same thing happened to me. Too bad the Radieuse is as awful as the other Leffes.

I found one too, looks like it is quite common, if you look around.
