yab Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Can anyone recommend a place to get reasonable quality nice beer glasses at a reasonable price? I am after a couple of pilsener glasses (tall ones on a stem) and a couple of stout glasses (balloon shape)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab Cat Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Coles are doing the Spegelau pils glasses pretty cheap, even cheaper if you've got the credits form the current flyby promo. I got a pair for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi @yab I have had the best luck and by far the best value at op shops. Have a look over on the Todays Tastings thread for some examples. Also eBay has some as well. I got some Washington Headmasters off eBay. I think they are fakes, but still do the same thing.

Thirsty Jim Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 +1 for the Op shops but House has 2 Spiegelau snifters 475ml for $25 https://www.house.com.au/product/spiegelau-beer-classics-2-piece-crystal-stemmed-pilsner-glass-set-475ml And these Italians are 600ml and kind of sexy...for $23 a pair https://www.house.com.au/product/luigi-bormioli-birrateque-stout-glass-600ml-set-of-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing, back in the day, early 80's when Sunday drinking 1st started. The local had a Sunday session that would have 100' and 100's there. My mate lived across the road and when the band was over and the bar was closing 1/2 a dozen of us would pick up bar stools and walk out with them. Naturally being regulars the security knew us and when challenged we would say "Hey we will bring them back tomorrow" we would then head out across the road like a trail of caterpillars, sit on the verandah drink piss until it ran out and crash. The next day all of us would walk back to the pub with the stools, sit at the bar again and continue. We all had mondays off, oh those were the days. Oh to be in my mid 20's again. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 We may not have been all PC and metro lolly-water drinkers but we had good times before it got all bound by laws and PC expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozlizard Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Been hard to get good beer glasses around where I live, but picked this up for $5 in a local bric a brack shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 ebay has headmasters schooners (SA pints ) down to $2.50. Seller has 99.9^ rep on 17,800 sales so reliable seller. Or $3.95 with $7 flat rate shipping - I tried entering 10 and still only $7 making them total of $4.45 each. They claim they're commercial quality, 75,800 sales and 99.7% rep. Now do I order some or hold off and get more ingredients while I get some savings? BTW for ebay my rule is they can lose 0.1% rep for every 1000 sales because stuff happens and some people are never happy. Get too much over that and I suspect the seller or product isn't up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynealford Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Went to St Vinnies, picked up 2 schooners (ARC 425ml) for $1 each. Good quality, will be looking around more op shops so I have more than 2...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
