The giant squid rules the ocean depths with it’s many tentacles and that big, creepy eye. This new squiggly squid is replacing our octopus design, and will be available on most of our other products too.

We recommend you try a Lagunitas Lil Sumpin’ Wild in your new Squid pint glass:

“A frothy pour, substantial ivory head settling into a golden glass of delicious Belgian/IPA hybrid. Some slight citrus & pith notes combine with the banana and spice traditions of a Belgian ale. Great carbonation lends a brightness to carry the top floral notes along. Light candied malts in the middle, finishing clean. Would be fantastic in bed with strawberries.”

Our new line of stemware is finally available! We have a wide selection of designs on both champagne flutes and wine glasses for all your fancy parties. We chose the thickest glass we could find, so you don’t need to worry about breaking them while toasting or putting them in the dishwasher. After your big celebration, they’ll last a lifetime as your “everyday” glasses.

Facial hair is not for everyone. You may prefer a full beard, or not care for the fuzz at all. Maybe you’re just sick of hipsters with their waxy whiskers. Our glasses proclaim that a hairy upper lip certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or beer, in this case).

We recommend you try a Fort George Vortex IPA in your new Anti-Mustache pint glass:

Pours a dense coppery cognac with a tight ivory head. The frothy fingers of lacing leave their mark on the glass, with a leafy, vegetative nose. Grapefruit pithy overtones smack of citrus and cream. Beautiful pine hop taste, punctuated with lilac and mango. Chompy astringent mouthfeel and bitter finish walk the streets of Astoria, carrying the souls of Norwegian fishing boats to your gullet.

It seems that they were really just an immature form of the Torosaurus. Oh, science! How you never cease to change your mind about things that I hold dear from childhood.

We recommend you try a Ninkasi Tricerahops in your new Triceratops pint glass:

O, Tricerahops, how you tease me so, calling to me from the shelf at the grocery store. Your copper-cognac delight, smooth and silky with such excitable carbonation… Lacing of love around my glass, your malty aroma gives way to high citrus notes. You bonk me on the head with hops and I am in love.

Because we’re adding so many new pint glass designs and trying out some new products this year, there just isn’t room for everything in our shop (and our studio–yikes!). We’re planning to retire nearly half of our artwork designs, re-imagining some of the most popular ones, and simply letting the others go. Some product categories are being let go as well, so we can keep bringing you the best quality products you really want for your home.

Here are the things you should say good-bye to (and snatch up now before they’re gone!):

Designs:

  • Anatomical Heart We’ve decided to keep this one!
  • Astronaut Love
  • Bicycle
  • Brontosaurus
  • Flying Pig
  • Guitar
  • Octopus
  • Robot
  • Rocket Ship
  • Special Brew
  • Yarn

Whether your special brew is homemade, or the pet-name for your lover, we know it deserves this extra special glass. The barley and hops logo shows you truly care about what goes into your beer.

We recommend you try an Oakshire Overcast Espresso Stout in your new Special Brew pint glass:

Pours a vivid pitch brown black with a dark tan, frothy two-finger head. Thick lacing, aroma of chocolate and roasted malts. Well-balanced malty aroma, espresso, and hops to boot. Delicate crisp malt backbone, with bourbon and smoky bacon ghosts. Elegant, smooth mouthfeel and light finish. Dancing on the beach with a bonfire in the middle of winter…
