Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Libbey 4-Piece Heidelberg Beer Mug Set
Customer Review: Don't believe Amazon's Shipping Estimate
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't believe Amazon's shipping estimate for this item. This item is currently not in stock. I ordered this item on 27 February 2004 and I still haven't received it (as of 22 March). Here is Amazon's new shipping estimate:1 of: Libbey 4-Piece Heidelberg Beer Mug Set, by Libbey
- Updated shipping estimate: May 24 - May 31
- Updated delivery estimate: May 27 - June 9
Here is Amazon's explanation for the delay:
"First, I apologize that the Libbey 4-Piece Heidelberg Beer Mug Set has been delayed. Unfortunately, the availability and shipping time frames listed on our web site are estimates, not guarantees. While we do our best to adhere to these estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers.
Occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply will add time to our original availability estimate. I do understand that such changes can be frustrating for you. Please accept my most sincere apologies for this inconvenience."
I appreciate Amazon's explanation, but I don't understand why this information is not reflected on this webpage--webpage continues to state 1 to 2 weeks as the expected shipping time!
Customer Review: Look No Further -- these are the ones to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Wonderful Freezer Effect
Nice Heft/Weight
Really Inexpensive
High quality -- you'd think they were expensive
This is a great Beer Mug Set. Excellent heft and shape. I keep them in my freezer, and they frost over when I take them out. Really -- a wonderful thin layer of actual ice covers the surface -- which is fabulous for a good pint of beer.
My friends have commented that I shouldn't have such good beer mugs since I'm a girl and not a football fan :) (though I can do my share of chugging). In any case, these mugs get mass approval from all my guests at parties. They have no idea how inexpensive they actually are. I'm buying multiple sets as gifts this holiday season -- not just because they're inexpensive, but because they really are the perfect beer mugs.
Really, you don't need to look any further. These are the mugs to get.
Customer Review: Excellent mugs if they were twice the price...
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredible mugs at 1/2 their normal price. I ordered 2 sets of the mugs but a couple of the mugs in one set arrived damaged. A broken handle on one and a chip out of another. I think the damage was due to the manufacturer's inadequate packaging (a flimsy cardboard X to keep 4 mugs seperated and no cardboard above or below the mugs except for the outside box). There is no way that cardboard X can stand up to the weight of these mugs. These are some heavy mugs for their size (2lbs 2.2oz each). They frost very well in the freezer and then keep drinks cold till the last drop. The mugs are also excellent for making rootbeer floats for the kids. All in all, the best mugs I have seen in a looooong time. Now I just need to order 2 more sets...Customer Review: The Perfect Glass for Ice Cold Beer
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a frozen beer mug for the freezer look no further. These thick glass mugs are perfect in every aspect. The mug holds a 12 oz beer with room for a head. My beer snob friends prefer a pilsner glass. They think a frozen mug and cold temperatures don't allow the taste of the beer to open up. I'll be a hillbilly and enjoy my beer cold thank you.
The mugs are solid and will hold up to years of abuse. The only way my son found to break them was to fill them half way with water, freeze them, then pour in warm water....Don't ask. But at this price is was not a big deal.
Make sure you get enough of them for your friends, and to cycle them to the freezer for the next round of coldies.
Customer Review: Beer. It isn't just for breakfast anymore
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a set of these mugs three years ago, and they are still my go-to mug for beer. All that time in use and going through the dishwasher, and they haven't broken, chipped, or changed in any way. They still look brand new.
Thick glass, and large enough to comfortably hold a full bottle of beer with foam. If I have a little time, I rinse one off in the sink without drying it, and pop it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. When I pull it out, the water on the outside surfaces has frozen, and the glass is cold. Add beer and the results are fantastic.
