I am creating this thread to help get information out there for the de Garde glassware that has been released. This is one of my collecting focuses and I couldn't find a solid source of information so I figured I would create it. Feel free to let me know if my information is wrong and I can update it when necessary. Not all of these pictures are mine (as I don't have all of these glasses.)

Good stuff, thanks for the info. Also thank you for reminding me to get the hell out of the glass game. Market too flooded to keep up anymore.
Like Duvel glasses? Fantome chopes? I got my niche. Its enough to keep me in the game a little bit. But all the #newglass be making me dizzy.
Exactly. I ended up focusing on 3 areas: de Garde, Huna Day and Pegs/Cycle. Plenty of glasses I still need that will be a challenge. *even though I still get caught up in the new stuff that is outside these areas.
Trust me, #oldglass makes me dizzy too, but once I started focusing on my collections (mostly Duvel and Trappist stuff) and stopped chasing the flavor of the month, the hobby became more enjoyable again. I have been getting rid of a bunch of glasses I don't like/use, but still have 400+ in the collection. Being in the BIF has helped me not buy for the past couple of months. Once the BIF is over, I am going to seriously sit down and decide what I want and what I don't want anymore, possibly including the Fantome chope (regularjohn just seeing if you are paying attention). One of my most prized glasses left my collection last week, but it is going to someone who will appreciate it more than me. The best part of the glassware game is the community we have established. There are some really generous people in this hobby, and we tend to take care of each other without trying to "win" any trades like you sometimes see in the general craft beer scene.
Agreed. Glassgeeks so much easier to deal with. I want to pair down my stash but what a chore making a list and getting pics. Ug.
I know them feels, took a while, but it is a very useful tool for me when hunting for glasses to be able to look at my glasses online. Such subtle differences in some of the stuff I chase. Glass list
Anyone in here with access to the Whale Cow or Tipsy Cow glasses that would be up for a trade? Let me know!
hmmm, no idea the two glasses I have are 1st anny and 2nd anny. I guess I am now collecting De Garde Anniversary glasses.
Correct me if I'm wrong here degardebrewing but I think they only give out the one glass to drink from for the party. As far as I know they are only handed out for the event and not actually part of the membership.
Also to any of the guys that I trustee for if this is not the case I probably have some glass for you. Except for the ones that have shattered while I was drinking to much. Those never existed.
been working on this myself too for the past few weeks here and there when I have some time. my new focus is mini sniffers and a few breweries and then no more than a single glass from breweries that I acutely drink beer from. the inventory in is a nightmare but makes for easier cut decisions. I am definitely gonna have a few glasswhales up for trade pretty soon
don't tease me like that! i agree 100% here, i've taken a long break from chasing new glassware because it gets pretty exhausting. i think its more fun to scoop up vintage ones that aren't even particularly rare just ones i like.
