As far as glassware...for some drinks, the proper glass makes a good drink great, and for others, it isn't worth drinking without an appropriate glass. For the martinis, there's a local establishment that offers both the traditional long-stemmed martini glass as well as a shorter, steeper sided version that still retains most of the positives of the standard with some added stability and practicality.

For beer, if its just a standard, run of the mill Yuengling or Newcastle, any pint glass, draught glass, or bottle will do. If you're getting into some of the finer micros and imports the glass is everything. Especially for one of my favorites: saisons.
