Where to buy wide pint glasses?

    So, have 10 or so Budweiser pint glasses, but they're a bit too high (16.5cm) in the dishwasher, and thus keep getting knocked over when closing the dishwasher drawer. I have another glass, that is a bit wider, but not as high (15cm). According to the faint markings on the glass, it came from an "All Ireland Craft BeerFest" many years ago. This is a picture I've found of that sort of glass.

    So I'm wondering if anyone would know where I could buy such glasses, so that they would fit in the dishwasher better?

    It's called a "shaker" pint or an American pint glass, if that's any help. Depending on how many you want you could probably convince a craft beer pub to sell you a few. Galway Bay bars will have a good few of them normally.

    Nisbets. These are 15.1cm but they have a wider range at 16cm

    Nah, that's not a shaker. Shakers have a thick base, and you wouldn't get away serving US pints at the RDS. I think Festival was the glass supplier for the RDS (it'll say on the glass), making that a Festival 20oz Conical. They only sell to the trade, AFAIK, though you might find one in a gift pack or the like.

    If it were me, I'd just go to the homewares section with a ruler. There'll be something similar.

    A lot of the time you can actually adjust the slide out part of your dishwasher up and down to accommodate taller items, a lot of people don't know this.

    The glasses I have that can't go in the dishwasher don't get used. Too much effort

    The part that hits off the glasses is the section where the forks & knives go, and that can't go up any higher. Should I put the section that the glasses go onto any lower, it'd hit off plates that are in the lower section. Thus the only option left is to change glass sizes.
