[Kingtj64]

Hi guys,

Anyone know where they can be got for cheap(ISH) price's ?

Could you give us some idea of what type of glass's you are looking for and how many of each.

Matalan have a good selection or the range

I've picked up some decent ones from charity/secondhand shops ( when they were still open ).

Any really, craft beer, Belgium type pint glass. Singles, pairs OR somewhere you can mix styles. Mainly have to buy 4/6 of the same type. Got the usual Carling, Stella, Hobgoblin bottle & glass Christmas gift sets.

Thank you All for replying.

Will try Matalan whenever I can, tried the Range mainly wine, gin and NOT cheap.

Didn't think of charity shops, probably as there ALL shut.
Thanks

Recycling centres are open. Loads of the usual glasses but I've picked up these for between 50p and £1

Most supermarkets have a “home goods” section. I’ve bought pint glasses, gin glasses, wine glasses, tumblers, even Pilsner glasses - all at low cost from Sainsbury’s.

Buy cheap buy twice. Can't get much cheaper than the range or Matalan.

In the past we'd go to the pub and take the glass home. C'mon we've all done it.

I've been to so many beer festivals that I've got more pints and half pints than I know what to do with. What I can't find for love nor money is the wheat beer glass the same shape as the Erdinger glass, or decent pilsner glasses.

TK Max do a very good selection of glasses

Try Wilko for pint glasses (50p to £1 each) and I found some of the dimpled pint glasses with handles at Boyes.

As mentioned above, the Range used to be cheap but keep changing the products. You used to be able to buy glasses singly but last time I looked they seemed to be in packs of 4/6.

Should've gone to Specsavers!

Same here, ive got about 50 beer fest third/half pint glasses. The closest I got to finding an erdinger glass was in the adnams brewery shop.

The range had a wheat beer glass as well but it's not quite the right shape.

The right shape seems to be elusive!

Don't mind paying £2/£3 per glass, maybe a little more if it's what I'm after but everyone I see is £6+ each.
I guess I'm just a bit of a Scrooge.

I wanted a Speiglau glass and ended up paying £18 for a pair from Amazon,they are really nice though,have to clean carefully as very delicate.
