Help me with my stupid question about "proper"Guinness glasses

[bizzey]

DS has got into drinking Guinness.
He has asked for a "proper" Guinness glass for Christmas
Now I am of proper Irish stock through and through..but living in UK .
What does he mean ?
I have seen some that have indentations at the bottom ,instead of a smooth all the way down glass ?

My dad never cared what he had his Guinness in !
(Got a few of them still in the cupboard ..thanks dad (RIP, god rest his soul))
DAD would be so proud his grandson wants to drink his can (!!) properly.
Any advise what I should be looking for ?
Thanks .

PS ..DS is very particular in that things have to correct (asd)

Oh ..and he never asks me for anything ..so this must be important to him .

Something from here?
www.guinnesswebstore.co.uk/glassware/

Above site want my DOB before even browsing !

But thank you.

Have a look at the official Guinness webstore, it might give you some ideas.

Don't quote me, but I think a Guinness glass is a pint glass that's narrower at the bottom than the top. It's what it's usually served in round here anyway.

That's just to make sure you're over 18

Sure stick in any DOB? There's nothing that says it has to be your real one.

If you go onto Amazon and type "Guinness Glass" there are quite a few on there to choose from.

Oh my DOB is fine !
Yes I always thought the glass went narrow at the bottom ...but these indentations ,swirly things ?
I have never seen them before ?

I suppose what I am asking ..is their an authentic one ?

I am going with smooth /narrow at the bottom .
That's the only one I have known .

The swirl things are reasonably common I'd have thought. I often get glasses like this: www.instagram.com/p/CU21jAhs0lq/?utm_medium=copy_link

The pint in it is shit now but I'd have no complaints on the glass!

Personally I'd rate a small logo with swirl over a big logo with no swirl. Those Guinness Ireland glasses on the site are horrendous. But I'd prob go with small logo/no swirl out of all the options.

I'd go with no swirl. That's gimmicky. I think small logo no swirl too.

Small logo , no swirl
Thank you ..it is making sense now .

(I could just ask older ds to pick me one up from the pub he works in
£3 ?? Donation ??)

Ignore ... ignore..wrong thread !
I will get it removed .

I guess he's looking for a glass for a can of Guinness. What size cans do they sell around you? Where I am, it's 500ml and that looks a bit shit in a pint glass coz it doesn't fill up the top.

But, you can buy 500ml Guinness glasses, though, so you get the perfect pint look.

Unless anyone wants one !
Hamleys bear for a baby born this year ,with the date on its paw ?
