Funny it's called a "stemmed pilsner"; it's not much of a 'traditional' pils glass and I'm pretty sure that's the Founders KBS glass.ercousin wrote:I really like these: http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores ... 991674--24
Got them on sale for 2 for $15 back in the winter.

I got a glencairn glass last year and while I like it, I did a side-by-side with a brandy snifter. Taste was the exact same, but I actually like the aromas I got from the snifter more than the glencairn, so I mostly use those now.lister wrote:For branded beer glasses I've bought some off eBay.
Anyone know where to get some of these at a good price:

Well maybe gem was the wrong word. I haven't got anything super rare or exotic at a thrift store. But most of my go-to glasses that I really enjoy using.FEUO wrote:Define "gems"? Pre 1990 Duvel glasses? or old Labatt shakers?
Of course you have to sift through a lot of junk, but I've found snifters and wine glasses of all sizes, Duvels, chalices, a matching set of 8 unbranded tulips, all under $1 apiece. I don't have a lot of cupboard space to I usually have to restrain myself.
Most recently I picked up this nice pilsner glass for 50¢, still has the made in Germany sticker on the bottom.

Before the end of October we hope to hold a one day sale of numerous brands of glassware, signs, umbrellas, t-shirts and coasters. We need to clear out our warehouse and we'll have some fantastic prices, a fraction of what you'd pay on ebay and many hard to find oddities like Pauwel Kwak's wood stand glasses. It'll be on a Saturday. We'll keep you posted.

there are 2 glasses i'm missing from my collection.Belgian wrote:I'd like to find a very old Orval glass from when they had the really wide-banded silver rim. Might be hard to find an old one without silver worn away.
Says "the lettering looks like enamel."
the old Orval glass is one.
and the Oerbier glass (to replace the one i broke) is the other.

Some of my favourite glasses have come from gift packs from the LCBO.
Samuel Smith has stood the test of time... With Graphics still intact. It's a lot like the early cask days glasses, though you can barely read mine anymore. Those are my standard beer glasses.
I really liked the Jacobsen dark lager glass. It was really solid and great for heavy sippers like imperial stouts. Sadly mine was just broken.
I've got some wheat beer glasses and probably a dozen or so different belgian styles.
I still have a few shaker pints that I mainly use outdoors... They're solid.
