Looking for some decent beer glasses in Australia.
Basically looking for a Washington style glass that will take a full 375ml stubby, which basically means whats generally called a schooner glass.
Plenty around on sites like
The other problem I have is that I cant buy them in person, and its a bit hard to judge the glass thickness remotely. Almost no one lists that detail on their web sites etc.
I dont like the Crown beer glasses at all, much too thick.
Melinda at Trojan says that thats basically all there is, particularly with that Washington schooner glass style, they're all pretty thick, so they survive the service industry etc.
Interestingly enough there isnt a lot of difference between the glasses I find acceptable thick wise and those I dont. The acceptable ones are about 2mm at the rim, but with a noticeable thickened rim, thicker than the glass immediately below that.
The ones I find unacceptably thick are 3 mm, surprisingly little difference.
I dont like the stemmed style of beer glasses at all. I dont have to have a washington style, what is often called conical or tumbler style is fine too.
