Got them on sale for 2 for $15 back in the winter.

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.

Anyone know where to get some of these at a good price:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Please do.
Thanks Peter.

I remember seeing those at Crate and Barrel in Mississauga for $5-$10 each.

there are 2 glasses i'm missing from my collection.
the old Orval glass is one.
and the Oerbier glass (to replace the one i broke) is the other.

least used beer glasses in my collection? the witbier glasses

I'm all for Spiegelau glasses. Best glassware ever. They have a craft beer pack that has a tulip, weissebeir, and pint. You can get them at The Bay, I think, and other places.

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.

Hopefully that Schumacher glass is still going. I had to just pick up a replacement last month while I was in Germany. Also got a Füschen and a Frankenheim.

I love my Allagash

I've used the Schumacher, but generally keep it with my prized German steins.

Man, I haven't had a good alt in a long time.

I haven't updated my list.... but I think I still need to drop about 50 glasses. Waaaaayyyy too many. No shakers. Strictly stemware. Strictly craft brewers from US and a couple from Canadia.

Bust my Maredsous glass the other night, It was a taller, more fluted style than the goblet one in the more recent gift packs
