5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for any serious Guinness fan, June 2, 2006

This is a must-have for any serious Guinness fan, or wet-bar owner. They make a nice gift, and add a touch of pizzazz for entertaining Guinness fans. Of course, the beer doesn't taste any better, but the presentation gets kicked up a notch. These glasses from Brand Variety are very nicely priced just under the official Guinness Online Store price. My order arrived in an official Guinness retail box in perfect condition, which was important since this glassware feels slightly fragile. The top and sides of the glass is thinner than other beer glasses I've seen, but the bottom grows heavier and thicker the lower you go. These are thicker at the bottom than other glasses I've seen. I wouldn't rap this glass near the top with a spoon to make any announcements. But I wouldn't worry about a ham-fisted drop on a countertop either. Brand Variety took extra care in packing the retail box in Styrofoam peanuts, and the shipping box was marked fragile, which all helped the contents arrive safely. The marketing on the packaging says each glass holds one imperial pint. This seemed a bit formal so I looked it up, and it is just a standard pint or 20 fluid ounces. I normally get my Guinness Draught in Cans, and a full can fits easily in the glass. In fact, after several uses I thought I was pouring them in correctly because there is consistently room left over in the glass after pouring a can of Guinness. Each time, there is roughly 3/4 of an inch short - perhaps 3 ounces I thought. When I pour a glass, I always take a deep breath, hold the glass at a 45 degree angle, and open and pour the Guinness can immediately, but slowly, and straightening the glass only as it fills up. The little carbonizing widget in the can helps make the perfect head. And the head is the right size and consistency compared to when I have a pint in a bar. There is just a little fluid missing. I have never paid attention, but apparently, the cans I normally buy contain 15 fluid ounces. Knowing a pint is 20 fluid ounces that explains the difference. I've been looking for larger cans, but so far no luck. I would imagine these glasses are exactly what retail bar owners use for their kegs so I've stopped worrying about it. As for clean up I personally would never put these in the dishwasher unless they were filthy - preferring to hand wash lightly with simple dish soap in my wet-bar. And I always get the best results when I rinse the glass and drip dry for just a moment before each any beer. I've read elsewhere that dish soap scum, and other dish washer chemicals prevents a good full-bodied head from forming. Pretty amazing to see the difference of two glasses - one rinsed, one not - side-by-side. These glasses of course work with any beers, and a nice size for home made Long Island Ice Tea; but it seems a tragedy to use them for anything other than presenting and enjoying your Guinness at home. And Guinness is always enjoyed best... with a friend. Thanks and cheers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, Poor Quality, February 28, 2009

This review is from: Guinness Tulip Pint Glass 4 Pack

I think the batch I received (8 glasses) was a 2nd. Within a week, the badges and label wore off in the dish washer. Within a month, I had completely non-desrcript pint glasses. Also, 20% of the glasses had some blemish on them.

Do yourself a favor, and buy these in a store where you can inspect each pint glass.
