Does anyone know where I can find the mini Chimay glasses for tasting? I believe they are about 6 oz. and look just like the larger ones. I haven't been able to find any.

Help is very much appreciated.

well, I've seen them in all the specialty beer stores around here. Larry's market a fancier grocery store also had them for a while. My guess would be that you should go to the best beer store in town and ask if they would special order you some. Many specialty stores are happy to do that sort of thing for their customers.

Here's the site that I find the best for Belgian glasses:

They have a small tasting glass for Orval (cute).
just a regular size and a huge Chimay though.

Just by chance, go to the Portland International Beerfest...(this weekend July 9th - 11th,North Park Blocks in the Pearl District),
Head to the Manneken-Brussel Import table and tell them what you are looking for. The are the Importers for Chimay, if they don't know, no one will.

For a minute there I thought you were just trying to rub it in. Man I miss Portland. I'm going back at the end of the month. I'll miss the Oregon Brewers fest though because of a damn wedding!:mad:

Theakston: thanks for the link. The Orval glasses will probably do. I'm just looking for something smaller for when I open up my 750s with friends. They look at me funny when I don't fill their glasses all the way, so I figure smaller glasses and they can't complain.

Geeze... they shouldn't be complaining anyway... I brought half my collection back with me from Belgium, and I ain't squandering it!
