    I never drink Heineken, ever in pubs, cans, bottles you name it I wont drink it but I work in a pub and always pour whatever I'm drinking, soft drink wise into an old style Heineken glass.

    Hate Coors glasses, they look cool but are too bulky, hate Guinness glasses. The Becks n Miller glasses are cool too

    Does it make a difference? I'd have thought drinking from any glass was the same.

    Carling pint glass, I drink Heineken. If they don't have the glass then a normal Heineken glass but the widget in the Carling glass is far better, I like a big head on the pint because I like to see the gas flowing through the pint for longer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭leposean


    Becks glasses make a big difference.

    they are made with the small circular thing at the bottom to increase the amount of froth (head). Genius idea and a great pint

    The next one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭theboss80


    A stalker glass

    I've only drank out of heineken glasses and mojito glasses. beer in a wine glass is great.

    Yeh it does, most company design there pint glasses to help get the best from there own brand? Or so ive been told if im wrong ill gladly be corrected.

    Also when in a pub the pubs are meant to serve yeh your drink in the right pint glass.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,132 ✭✭✭Killer Pigeon


    I don't really care, as long has it's a pint glass. The rest are just posh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    I want one of those coffin shaped pint glasses.

    Hmmm, ya learn something new everyday.

    Some pubs give you heineken in a carling or carlsberg glass. Come thing about it, I like the new heineken glass, makes the pint look nicer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,984 ✭✭✭Degag


    Meh, sometimes i think that the widget yoke makes the pint flatter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    Erdinger, such a tall glass it makes it seem like there's more.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    There is no option for Erdinger Weißbier. This makes later10 unhappy... this makes later10 refer to himself in the 3rd person, which makes him doubly unhappy.

    No comments until Erdinger Weißbier... at the very least Paulaner... appears in the poll.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Buceph


    I prefer the Heineken glass that was out before their current one. The new one is grand, better than most in fact, but the redesign was a bit unnecesary.

    Anyone think the new one reminds them of a crossover between the Champions League cup and the Heineken Cup?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭Shifty11


    New style heineken would be my favourite. Coors glasses are desperate. I absolutely hate getting a beer in the wrong glass, except coors, I always ask for a different glass.

    As soon as I read the title of this thread, I came here with the sole intention of saying exactly that..!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Just looking at that list, for a country that is big on pubs, we sure have a crap selection of beers :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    If drinking beer, a nice tall Paulaner glass will do the beer proud, along with the flavour :)

    That being said, I'm siding with Fago on this one too...beer in a wine glass is great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    Sure i only drink the finest dutch gold from the can in the middle of a sportsground/park none of your fancy glass malarky for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    pint of heineken in a carlsberg glass, thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo


    I like the shape of the Heineken pint glass though it's generally a spirit i'll drink from it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    I get a real kick *theatrical wink* out of this type of glass.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I prefer a plain pint glass.like a harp glass,or well I cant remember what name would be on it.dont like the new bulmers glasses,something odd feeling about them with the curves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,772 ✭✭✭Cú Giobach


    Definitely one of these, fits nicely into the hand and with the little finger under the glass supporting it you could fall asleep and it won't fall, I always ask for one if I see the serving wench going for a different one.
    I hate getting any other kind of glass, they just feel wrong.

    I like the pint glasses with the arm you get in the franciscan well in Cork all the others just seem all the same really.

    A plain old Tulip glass. I always ask for my pint in one of these.

    Don't be fooled by people telling you that the glasses are all made to "get the best out of" any particular pint. It's marketing, plain and simple.

    The new bulmers glass is like a girl with plenty of tits and no ass. Very unsexy glass.

    I prefer to drink from branded glasses, I have been told that they are specifically designed to make the beer hit your palate just right to get the best flavour, and I'll choose to believe that. So generally Murphys/Guinness glass. Unless I decide to go for Grolsch or some such.

    I loved the old thick knobbly glasses with the big handles. You don't see them in pubs anymore, although you can get them in € shops occasionally.

    I bought a pack of 5 x 500ml bottles of erdinger that came packaged with a glass the other day in an offy. Check it out! Was like 12 bucks or something

    Ha! OH will be swimming in Erdinger this weekend so. now to decide what the number is for an optimum set of Erdinger glasses... 4 or 6... with one hidden away for insurance purposes. If i know gravity, it'll be eyeing up my new purchases within minutes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Blue Moon glass. Classy.
