I got these for cheaper than this, and tpyically use them or another tulip. They arent 14-16 oz i dont think, but i dont pour out a while one a time. Libbey makes some ones that are similar and cheaper still, though the glass is a bit thicker. a normal pint glass wouldnt be bad though
There is definitely a level of snobbery surrounding certain things and a bad glass certainly doesn't ruin a beer but if the option is there then a nicer glass is always going to be more enjoyable. I'm the first to rally against snobbery and the amount of misinformation being passed around the internet surrounding beer - but I genuinely believe make a very noticeable difference
If I could recommend glasses (people might think I'm a shill for these guys because I always crap on about them here), I would recommend the Spiegelau Stemmed Pilsner. http://www.amazon.com/Spiegelau-Classics-Stemmed-Pilsner-Glasses/dp/B001CFR3XE
They feel so thin but are quite sturdy and just amazing to drink from.
Do you know if he's into homebrewing? If so, there are lots of good, easy options.
If you want to send him beer, recommendations are going to depend on your location. Packing/shipping isn't all that hard, but here are our Packaging Tips on /r/beertrade.
Otherwise, you could order bottles from an online site (Archer would be a good one). There are also some great books and magazines. A subscription to Draft or Beer Advocate would be good (I think Draft's a bit better). Here are a couple good books: Tasting Beer, The Brewmaster's Table. There are lots more books/magazines for homebrewing. This nice set of Spiegelau Tulip Glasses would always be appreciated. You also could buy him a gift certificate to a a good beer store in his area - you can find most beer stores contact info on BeerAdvocate's Places (just click through to his city). Finally, brewery souvenirs (glasses, shirts, keychains, etc.) are always good gifts for beergeeks from elsewhere.
Hope that helped. /r/homebrewing could probably give you a great rundown of homebrewing options, if need be.
I really like their Pilsner glasses
Money is no object: Spiegelau My favorite glass ever, I keep a stockpile of them
Budget: Duvel There's a reason it's so popular
If you're drinking an IPA drink it from the Spiegelau IPA Glass. Almost anything else can be drank from a Stemmed Pilsner.
Only exception imo are heavy abv bourbon barrel(or other heavy barrel aged) beers. For those I go with a Teku
