Usage level: Heavy (daily use) Maintenance: Hand-washed (bar didn't have a commercial dishwasher) Durability: After a year, 1 glass has broken from usage. (Shattered inexplicably) Purchased for a bar in a busy college town. Great glasses, and I would give 5 stars if one of them hadn't inexplicably shattered in my hand one night. We never did figure out what triggered the glass to shatter the way it did; it shot everywhere and made a loud popping noise when it broke. I'm guessing it was just faulty and the heavy usage finally did it in. Other than that, they have a nice weight to them and are great for pouring English pints (20 oz). We served many a Black & Tan, Bow & Black, and dark English ales in these. I wouldn't recommend them for pouring straight Guinness, you should get a Guinness glass if that's what you're looking for. The rim-tempered edge is a necessity for heavy usage.
