If you have to buy one to use for everything, get a stemmed tulip style glass. http://amzn.com/B003QRJCY4
I'd say an unbranded tulip and you're done. Or two. Or four. Depending on your plans and your rate/likelihood of having beer geek guests over. To the degree glasses make a difference, this shape is favored for various reasons like, surface area exposure to generate more aromatics, concentrating those aromatics with the taper, head retention for some reason, etc.

Not sure why they call it a stemmed "pilsner" glass since we're used to seeing a different, taller style of glass typically associated with pilsners, but a tulip by any other name would smell as sweet. They make them smaller, but I like this bigger version.
I have a couple of these and they're just my default for anything better than everyday beer, but realistically could be somebody's only beer glass just as easily. I've never bothered to test whether my senses are attuned enough to notice a difference vs., say, a shaker pint, but I figure it can't hurt. With these in my cabinet, I don't otherwise feel compelled to get a bunch of different shapes for different styles. Some people are glass junkies and have fun getting lots of different kinds, but if you want to one-and-done it, I think this is the one.
I think branded glasses are tawdry myself but lots of people prefer branded/painted/artsy and like to collect different ones. Luckily there are tons of branded glasses in this shape from lots of breweries if you like that better than plain.
I would buy a set of these, they're a great glass for any beer style.
I like these glasses but you could also go a bit fancier and get him some teku
Best all purpose tasting glass of all time IMO. Great stout! Cheers.

This is my go to glass for ALL beers. It makes hoppy ones explode on aroma. Well worth it. Christmas is around the corner. Just sayin ;-)
I have these too which are decent. If you want the Relic glass, I can pick a couple up and ship them, maybe trade for some glassware from your area. Message me if so.
