Having a hard time finding reasonably priced wheat beer glasses. Getting ready to pour our weizen and would hate to showcase it in a standard pub glass. Anyone know of a good company.

If you want to go top shelf, go with a glass from Sahm Glassware. Call Susan at Boelter 1-800 - BEER CUP. http://www.beercup.com/microbreweries.htm They are extremely nice.
:D
If you are on a budget, talk to your local restaurant supply group and get a Libbey Glass, 23oz "1610 - Giant Beer" glass. It has a shape close to most Hefe Weizen glassware you'll get from Europe. Less expensive too. There is a 15 oz "183 - Pilsner - Hourglass" that is smaller, different, but has a unique shape.
Tall glassware can be a real pain to keep clean with most bar glasswashers. They need the powerful kitchen washer treatment if you can manage it.

Then go to the Catalog and search for the above.
Cardinal/Arcoroc makes similar glasses, and their catalog for beer is here: http://www.cardinalcatalogs.com/cardinal_online_catalog/pdf/arcoroc_beer.pdf
You could get a Representative contact # from the websites. Let us know what you end up with.
Good luck,
