An Easy Habit To Break

A couple of weeks ago I picked up almost 2 dozen new in the box Molson pint glasses from a garage sale. . I justified the purchase because of the price ($4.00) and the assumption that they would make great give-a-ways at our next beer tasting. Also my neighbor Shawn just got a kegerator and you can always use more glasses if you have a kegerator.

Yesterday I was out garage saling and I came upon another box of pint beer glasses. I planned on just picking up a few to add to my already cupboard busting collection. Each one one I pulled from the box was better than the last. They were all (mostly) different glasses from craft breweries from around the country and even some from Europe.

I asked how much and the lady said 25 cents apiece. A quarter apiece?! I asked how much for the whole box (like it wasn't cheap enough already) as off the top of her head she said $5.00. SOLD!  I counted them up when I got home and there are 38 glasses from about 3 dozen different breweries. That's about 13 cents each (my new math skills). I spoke with my friend Chris and he said it sounded like someone's wife made him get rid of his collection. I'm sure I'll be hearing more of the same.

Now, there are a few that I do want to hang on to for myself but the bulk of this collection will be up for grabs. I figure I can give a pint glass away with every bottle of homebrew I share. If only I knew of some other enthusiasts who share my passion for all things beer related.
