I Woke Up Dead

I've been chomping at the bit to post about this glass. I got this glass recently in a trade and this is now the centerpiece of my collection: Left Hand "I Woke Up Dead" snifter. This was a one-time brewery only release that was made in very limited quantities. This is one of those rare glasses that I was willing to give up just about anything for and I did up trading a glasswhale for it. 

The artwork is amazing on this and this is easily my favorite glass.

Hitachino Nest- A rare bird indeed

I seriously lucked out and grabbed this as soon as I saw it. I know these are rare, but I'm not sure how rare. 

It's made out of ceramic and it's a pretty good size since I believe it's technically a pilsner glass. It really is a beautiful piece. Now I have to decide if I want to hold on to it or trade it away...

Almost a very dark dark day

One of my big wants finally showed up today. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that they had put the glass in a box was too small/thin as is evidenced by the doming on the box. 

Nice of them to put the note on there, but seriously?? How about you don't pack the glass like an idiot. 

Anyways this is what showed up:

Yep a 2011 Three Floyds Dark Lord Day mini-snifter. This has probably been my biggest want for awhile and I finally got it- paid too much- but I got it. It almost didn't survive the trip.

The Ancient Glasswhale

So this showed up at my door today: 

The Dogfish Head Ancient Ales glass. They've been spotted at DFH Ancient Ale Dinners and apparently you get one with your ticket? Haven't seen any on eBay or for trade yet, so people seem to be holding on to them tightly. I picked one up in a trade, which apparently came from a bottle shop.

Anyways the ancient ales logo is nice and almost seems multicolored. The glass is huge as seen below. 

Is it a glasswhale? Hard to tell with so much unknown about the glass, but for now it has that status.
