Re: OT: Where can I find affordable beer glasses?

I was looking for some glasses last night and found pubglasses.com
They might be a little more but you can by singles and I found some that I have not seen before. I have not ordered yet so I can not speak to their customer service.

Just an update. Went to the thrift store today and got a brandy snifter. I saw a Glencairn glass, but didn’t get it. It looked cool, but I wasn’t sure if it was great for beer. Anybody know anything about this glass? Can you use it for beer? I know you are suppose to use it for whiskey.

As long as it doesn't have a hole in the bottom, you can use it for beer .... On second thought, I've used containers with holes in the bottom also (best for BMC cans).

k, so I want to use this brandy snifter I just got, but all I have right now is a wheat beer(Harpoon white ufo).

I make videos on youtube reviewing beers. Would I look like an idiot using a brandy snifter for a wheat beer?

Idiot is such a strong word.....but traditionally, Hefe's are served in this type of glass:
