No shame in that glass Mr chippy chipster, in the 90's maybe

I was probably drinking it in the early nineties with half a cider and blackcurrant.

In 1985 I went to a pub in Epping for UK launch of Fosters in the UK. The touring Australian cricket team were there as part of the launch, **** beer great night.

I'm drinking from my Maredsous glass ATM, I have a few other glasses but they're pulled out less often. I had a great goblet that held 500ml but it broke, can't remember the name but no doubt i'll be picking a couple up soon to replace the casualties of war.

Great selection there, must have taken a while to collect them

My Ottakringer glass looks so much better filled with beer!

Got more glasses, this one will fit all drinks. At the moment containing my Willamette single hop ale, very herby, funny smell. My first one this week. One more to go.

This is something my wife doesnt get, the need for a multitude of drinking vessels. I just tell her they are my handbags!!!

A couple of pictures showing a selection of my favourites all of which get drunk out of regularly...

In the first pic we have from L-R...

1: A Charrington pint glass, possibly dates from the 70's, used for bitters and brown ales
2: A 0.5L tankard from Dartington, this is their "Torrington" style glass. Very heavy bottomed with a rolled lip...used for strong dark ales
3: A tall, extremely thin glass that originated from Norway, possibly even older than the Charrington glass as I dont ever remember my dad going to Norway. Holds about 0.7L. nice to drink Pilsners, Baltic Porters from. Thin glass means the beer can warm up quickly
4: A 330mL extended tulip...nothing special about this one, came from John Lewis. Nice to for strong continental beers like Dopplebocks
5: A 330mL stemmed beer glass, works well for bog standard lagers in 330mL bottles (I just dont get 0.4L glasses....they dont hold a half litre bottle and a 330ml beer just gets "lost" in them....so a handy selection of simple 330mL glasses is a must)

In the 2nd pic

1: A straight sided 0.5L tall tankard...heavy and solid, I like drinking Dormunders from this glass
2: A 0.5L Stout glass made by Spiegelau. Extremely light and thin, I drink pretty much anything from this glass but being thin the beer does tend to warm quickly
3: A 0.5L straight glass that originated from Austria. I'll drink continental amber beers like Alt's and Viennas from this one
4: A 0.5L heavy tankard that actually came from TK Maxx....sometimes used in place of the Torrington tankard above.
5: Finally, my only Belgian glass...so everything Belgian gets drank from this...a 330mL Westvleteren chalice

Nice collections! I'd be too afraid to use them.

Never thought of charity shops for glasses but good idea. Now I can buy books and glasses.
