klenke Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Help. I like drinking stouts at home and I want to buy a true Guinness stout glass. You know, the kind with the bulbous section just below the rim. Sometimes these glasses have Guinness written on their sides. Where can I go to buy one? I tried Fred Meyer. They don't have them. A good beer drinking tool is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a climber's arsenal. Thanks -- Klenke Quote
Dru Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 steal one from a bar they break em all the time must have stacks of extras in the backroom Quote

erik Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 klenke most pint glasses that bars have were given to them by the beer distributor...... Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 That place up on like 95th and Aurora has the specialty glasses for all the corresponding beers. Plus they have the motherload of beers (but I prefer Ballard market cause it's local). BTW: A guiness glass and a true pint glass are different. Quote
klenke Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 This is the type of glass I'm after (see attached or Von Spanker's second image above)... Quote
JoshK Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 My roommate's dad used to work at pyramid, thus we seem to have a lifetime supply of those. They are fairly cheap, however, so thye do seem to break fairly often. Quote
iain Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 you have to get the ones with the official seal of the queen on them! Quote
Greg_W Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Check out Guinness Webstore Look under "Enjoying" and then "Home Bar" They've got four-packs for about $28. Quote
klenke Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 Damn, my mother and brother are in England right now. I should have had them pick one up from the Queen while they were there, but, alas, they're coming back on Thursday and I won't be able to contact them in time. Thanks for all the tips, guys. I'm surprised at the quickness of responses. But then, why should I be? It's a question about beer on a climber's website. Quote

klenke Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 Damn, that website makes me thirsty for some Guinness. You know what I'm drinking tonight at PC: (five ought to be sufficient) Quote
eternalX Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Just go to an Irish bar and ask to buy. A lot of times they will sell them to you. Probably better odds if you go to a mom and pop and not some chainery like Fado. Marge! Beer Me! Quote
JoshK Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Klenke, I was just in the ballard fred meyer about 30 minutes ago. As of today or a few days ago they have a large guinness display setup near the south entrance. In any event, they had the actual guinness glasses for sale at $1.99 each. there were a ton of them there tonight. Quote
Marc_of_the_North Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 My whole kitchen set (glasses, utensils, plates, etc) comes from various bars and restaurants. Why buy new when you can save the cash for climbing gear! Quote
