did you find these Sam Adams glasses sold by homebrewstuff to be the real thing or a cheap knockoff

They were sent with the certificate of authenticity...and they have the laser etching, right shape and are good enough to fool me if they are fake. I just used them again this weekend and received more compliments on them.

There are slight differences in the shape and actual glass clarity. My originals are a slightly amber color and the new are very clear glass. Also I think that the new break easier than my originals and the logo print is not the same.

Perhaps still spelling? "Glencairn" also "try"? HUH?Anywayyy, I bought a set. I'm happy with the quality. The name Glencairn is embossed or engraved in the bottom of the glass. Cool effect. Real or not? If one is happy with the feel & quality it might not matter.

I Googled it and found what Steve shows below. I suggest stopping at or calling Bed, Bath and Beyond (or similar store) and check the box. I no longer have mine but I do like these glasses. Hope this helps.

I have a few Rastal ones and a few others that I have purchased on Amazon. The ones here on Amazon are unlabeled but are just as good of quality as the Rastal Teku glasses. I highly recommend these.

They are definitely NOT REAL. I have used both. These are fake knock-offs in fake packaging. Fusion works great, these work OK. Amazon lets way too many FAKE products through. Many times they look the same - some even have counterfeit packaging. Some buyers might not know the difference, especially if they haven't tried both.

Yes, they looked like authentic to me. In fact we compared with other previously bought and are much better.

I can find nothing on their website and I have thrown out the box. I know the company itself is out most of the glasses and has been for several months at least. You can only get them through Amazon. I would think they would have to be made elsewhere because the price is comparatively low.

No, these actually seem to be pretty high quality for fake gems. My 7 year thinks they are real, if that says anything :)

I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin. I'd be lucky to get one season out of it. My Home Depot purchase lasted over 4 years. I was looking to replace it. It's shocking how identical this one LOOKS to the original. This is a 2 piece screw together design. The Home Depot purchase was one solid piece of metal that was pressed into a bowl with a stable base. This is more like a fancy bowl to put ice and some beers. I feel like I've been dooped. At least I can return it tomorrow. Too bad. I just recd mine. It is a cheap replica of the original one that I bought at Home Depot. The Home Depot one is MUCH thicker metal. This one is very thin.

They are either of the real thing or somebody went through a lot of trouble to make the exact same packaging and to make them function the same. By all appearances and all functionality these look to be the real thing. I was hesitant as well because those older posts worried me. But now after having made this purchase I'm not worried anymore.

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

I believe they are but you should also know there is a visable seem in where the two parts of glass are joined when these chips are made. It was the only thing that I didn't like about them. Which leads me to believe they are libbey knock offs.

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

They are custom made IPA Crystal glasses from Germany. Also Spiegelau is a division of Riedle.

No, they are for the real. Ive had mine for several months now, and they are very hight quality. I bought them at $158.

I think they are knock-offs, but the build is not flimsy at all. It actually felt durable/sturdy.

Not sure if it's a knock off but def not the quality that they were a few years ago. This fell apart in a few months. The ones I bought for $80 a few years ago are as good as ever. I just returned one of these and haven't had the replacement long enough to judge if it's better. Based on packaging it looks like the real thing just MUCH cheaper quality than original ones.
