There’s nothing quite like the feeling and weight of our Big Sexy glass in your hands – its got some serious booty.

From the bottom up, I designed this glass to be a deep snifter for your favorite imperial and dark beers. Complimenting and contrasting the richness and fullness of dark beers, its voluptuous body builds up aromatics and delivers them through the slightly narrowed mouth. Its thick base, embossed with a signature stamp, shines off of the deep colors of your favorite brew.

The Big Sexy may be a modern take on an imperial beer glass, but it is steeped in history and craft. In 2007, I had the opportunity to train in American/European-style glass blowing under Sam Stang (one of my heroes in true mastery of the craft). Since then, I absolutely love to finish a strong glass with a Swedish foot, a thick weighted cylindrical base that elevates your glass and your drinking experience.

The Big Sexy is a favorite of dark beer drinkers who enjoy a glass with a little heft to it. Whether you’re into high gravity, big flavor, or creamy beers, the Big Sexy delivers every time.

This glass features what we call a Swedish Foot, which is a crispy short cylinder base…very clean, modern finishing touch on the bottom of the glass  It give the design a nice weighted bottom and makes it a bit easier to hold. 

The Swedish Foot is one of my favorite techniques for both the enjoyment of the process and the finished aesthetic.  My approach is based and owed to the lessons learned from an amazing glassblower, Sam Stang in Augusta, Missouri.  I spent about 4 months studying under Sam in the Summer of 2007.  Truly the Zen Master of American/Venetian style glassblowing…haha, that might sound contradictory, but once you meet him, it makes total sense!  

The Big Sexy Beer Glass is not for the light of heart. It is a big ole snifter matched only by the enormous flavors of the Imperial and Dark Beers being poured in its voluptuous form. The snifter form allows for maximum aromatic focusing, as well as provides some serious surface contact area for your hands to warm the malty, boozy brew poured inside. The new solid bottom gives a great heft to this glass while allowing us to feature some cool graphics!
