Op4guy Designs is the precursor to Op4guy.com which will be launching shortly and will focus on hard use gear and equipment used by professionals around the globe . Op4guy is mission focused on equipment evaluation,testing and consulting (E-ETC). Over the course of my career I have seen many tactical products used by thousands of Soldiers-some good and some not so good. My goal as an E-ETC is to help give insight and bias reviews of equipment, gear and clothing used by today's Soldiers and modern shooters.

Noveske...by the pint





Like most here, we have a passion for many things and one of those is our beer. I'm not talking about the watered down piss that gets high school kids drunk but rather full bodied beers that truly quench the pallet. For me, nothing makes the end of a hard day better then enjoying a nice cold beer and though I am fine drinking from a bottle I really prefer to use my pint glasses.

You can pour beer in any glass or even a plastic cup but there is a definite satisfaction when drinking a fine ale from a quality pint glass. I have collected quite a few over the years but I do really like traditional conical versions. So enter the Noveske pint glass:



Noveske went with a traditional conical pint glass which always fits well in the hand. The nice thing about this style of pint glasses is the lip is very chip resistant and they stack well without becoming stuck together. Basically you can pile several on top of each other in the cabinet even if wet and have no worries about needing to rip them apart. A simple design that has proven effective for generations.

Noveske has had there name etched in the glass: One side is their Noveske name with cross


while the other side has their .com name with what I believe is one of their Afghan rifles



The quality of the etch is very good with clear lines. However, many may think that the etch is not even when they first see it since if you rub your finger across it the etch almost seems to lighten or fade. This is a normal thing with etched glass as the oils or perspiration from your body cause it to fill and almost make it transparent. Personally it adds to the beauty of a fine pint glass that very few will ever truly appreciate.


So after a long day of range work or shooting and you feel like enjoying a fine pint of your favorite ale, why not pour it into a quality pint glass to better enjoy it? It's a true custom pint that can can hold the best ale, opened with a LaRue Dillo and enjoyed by knuckledraggers everywhere.




I got mine from Noveske direct for only $8 which is a bargain for a quality pint glass. They would also make great gifts for friends during the holidays or after a deployment to toast their return.
