Nucleated pint glasses?

[Mattyde05]

Hi guys can anybody tell me the pros and cons of a Nucleated Pint Glass ?
All mine pint glasses are old and don’t have them in them . I was wondering if it’s worth buying some new ones ?
Thanks

I've got a few nucleated glasses, a couple of pint pots and a couple of Duvel glasses. They definitely help with head retention, but you have to be careful using them with highly carbonated styles. I poured a hefeweizen, turned my back for a couple of minutes only for it to foam all over the countertop!

You will have to adjust your carbonation.

Can the beer go flat quicker seems as the bubbles are rising to the top faster ?
Are they more a visual thing apart from better head retention?
also Is anybody able to suggest a good website to buy good quality glass wear from as the ones I’ve found only seems to sell them in packs of 24 . Thankyou for the reply’s

I have some San Miguel ones they work great from my lager i have brewed. In other glasses it was like the beer was flat no head but very fizzy in the mouth.

Will stick to the nucleated glass from now on.

I have a mixture of nucleated and not, and try and use whatever is best for the current brew.
So if I've undercarbed, or have a lager or IPA I grab a nucleated glass.
If I've overcarbed and have foam-overs I stick to non-nucleated.
They are cheap on eBay, I bought them in a set of 4.

Use a Dremel and use your favourite glass.
