We all have our personal price points… but to stick with your analogy, the glass does make a difference - apparently our noses are responsible for much of the taste. This also applies to audio, where a nice case can make all the difference.
It’s a bit early here but in the name of science. Just blind tested a glass of Guinness in a crystal glass and a normal half pint. Got the lass to put it to my mouth so I didn’t know. No difference, still enjoyed it.
On a serious note I was referring to the suggestion that you ‘need a decent set up’ to hear a difference, it’s akin to saying you are deaf if you don’t.
haha, brilliant! But perhaps it proves the point: with every hobby, there are believers, non-believers, and tweakers

The Belgians seem to think so, as so many of their ales have very different glasses to drink it from.

It seems you have never used Riedel glases for wine tasting. But not everything that might sound weird for someone not envolved in a certain topic is nonsense

Uk has a history of different pint glasses, often different counties had different variations of what was fashion at the time. I believe they were all designed for aesthetic or practical terms rather than the taste of the beer.
I’m not but I’m willing to do more testing in the name of science. I can’t comment on lager though as I don’t drink it.

Posh 
it’s quite obvious you don’t know me in person 
I figured this would get split out, let’s continue our discussion about beer glasses here.
