The only complaint I had about it was that it was too small. Barely enough space for a 12 oz bottle. Well I am a big boy with a big thirst. Couple that with my not wanting to get up as much whilst drinking, and the Sam glass was falling short. Enter new Sam glass. I was at BOTW today and my jaw almost hit the floor when I saw them. It is the same glass scaled up to comfortably fit a half liter of beer comfortably. Now I can give my half liter 100 year anniversary Aventinus glass a little break. Or not look like a greedy prick by "taking the big glass" when sharing my homebrew with a homeboy. I think I am going to fill it up right now!

I have a pretty solid beer glass collection which I really enjoy considering the sheer masses of draft homebrew and other beverages I consume. On of my favorites is the Sam Adams glass. It fits nicely in my hand, has that nice laser etching, and has the sleek, swooping, and sexy curves of Belgian goblets/fine mammalian protuberances. The only complaint I had about it was that it was too small. Barely enough space for a 12 oz bottle. Well I am a big boy with a big thirst. Couple that with my not wanting to get up as much whilst drinking, and the Sam glass was falling short. Enter new Sam glass. I was at BOTW today and my jaw almost hit the floor when I saw them.

Nice, I was always annoyed that the SA glasses were a little too small...I'll have to grab a few of these.Howie, I like those glasses too. I have two sizes of that kind, one that holds about 12 oz, and another that holds about .5 L. The latter is one of my most used glasses.

Huh. I was about the throw a flag and call BS on the full pint thing, but I never realized they came out with the bigger model. I will have to find one or two. I like the shape of the glass, but it is frustrating that it (mine) doesnt hold more than a 12oz bottle.Evidence
