Poll results: Favorite glassware

What is your favorite style of glassware?

Stein glass 41% (5)
Pint glass 41% (5)
Snifter glass 8% (1)
Other (Pilsner, Stange, Weizen...) 8% (1)
Tulip glass 0% (0)

Clearly, sturdy glassware won the day. Not surprising, I suppose. The tulip glass has its place, but its not exactly a glass you would drink out of every day.

Poll Results: Wedding Beer

Wow, I think this is two failed surveys in a row. This once promising feature may very well not make the cut. The first one was my fault for listing the wrong beers in Sam Adam's Winter Mix Pack. However, the second failure was entirely the fault of one Daniel Cedrone who felt so strongly about his choice that he voted for it 12 times, ruining my poor poll. For that reason, Cape Anne's Fisherman's Brew has been disqualified and Ipswich Original Ale and Shipyard Export are the winners! Congratulations! My reception site will be letting me know shortly which of these fine beers will be made available.

Which beer should I serve at my wedding?

Cape Anne's Fisherman's Brew - 42% (12)*
Ipswich Original Ale - 17% (5)
Shipyard Export - 17% (5)
Smuttynose Shoal's Pale Ale - 14% (4)
Geary's Pale Ale - 7% (2)

*Disqualified because Dan cheated

Poll Results: Sam Winter Mix

So apparently my second poll was heavily flawed. I listed 5 of the what I thought were 8 beers that Sam Adams packaged in their Winter Classics Mix Pack. But according to my friend Dan (who is a Sam Adams expert...) the Black Lager is no longer included in the pack, while the Cream Stout is. How embarrassing. Nevertheless, here are the results:

Which is your favorite Sam Adams seasonal in their Winter Classics Mix Pack?

Winter Lager - 30% (4)
Black Lager - 23% (3)
Holiday Porter - 23% (3)
I refuse to buy the mix pack since the Cranberry Lambic just sits in my fridge for months on end... - 23% (3)
Old Fezziwig Ale - 15% (2)
Cranberry Lambic - 0% (0)

Okay, so time to redeem myself with what will be my greatest poll ever! As some of you may know, I will be getting married this spring to my fiance Kelly. Now I won't be making a lot of decisions about this wedding, but one thing I am going to make damn sure of is that there is a good craft beer available at the reception!

There are three things I am looking for in my wedding beer. 1) That it be local (from New England). 2) That it be sessionable. 3) That it be flavorful. With that in mind, Which beer should I serve at my wedding? The five finalists are below. While this poll is by no means binding, I am very curious as to the results. Voting will be open for two months so choose wisely... and thanks for the guidance!

A. Cape Ann Fisherman's Brew
B. Geary's Pale Ale
C. Ipswich Original Ale
D. Shipyard Export Ale
E. Smuttynose Shoal's Pale Ale

Cape Ann Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout - 20% (3)
Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale - 13% (2)
