Glasses are typically supposed to be hand washed. Dish washers can often leave soap residue that can dry.

Common problems from glass washing can be head retention, lacing and flavor.

 

well shit, news to me!

 

The most common thing you will see is bubbles forming on the side of the glass this from residue on the inside of the glass left behind during it's washing.

 

guess I'm hand-washing my beer glasses from here on our then

 

What is "Beer-Clean" Glassware and How Is It Achieved?

 

Yeah the sediment heavy sours that I've been drinking have been fucking up my glasses lol. I'm gonna switch to hand washing too.

 

There’s a running meme in the Richmond beer scene to tag certain people whenever a dirty glass is posted because they won’t stand for it. Also sometimes when someone posts a clean one that group will randomly like send them a beer or a gift or something. It’s pretty funny.

 

If anyone can taste the difference between the beer in Steve’s glass in his picture and the same beer in a hand washed glass I’d be stunned.

 

we don't care about tast, Mike, it's how well it photographs

 

and my photo is fucking great

 

Huh interesting. I probably don't follow the right people for this but do like getting free beer.

 

You drink with your eyes first Mike.

 

Bottle scrubbers are pretty cheap and easy to find. I usually find that if sediment sticks to the bottom of a glass I let some water sit in it to loosen up before I clean it.

I really think a clean glass only helps with head retention and seeing lacing on your glass when you drink it. More of an aesthetic pleasure for drinking but not essential.

 

Yeah it’s kind of a running joke where there would definitely be no way to predict it. And it’s not in a specific group since most of the people know each other and are in a lot of them. But it’s funny when you see a picture and just know it will be one to bring a comment out either positively or negatively. I think they’ve had a few picture contests over the years too, but I may be remembering incorrectly since so many of those happen with different stipulations.

 

honestly yeah, i don't even like beer I just do it for the 'gram

 

Then why are the popular beer pictures all pours to the rim with no head on it at all?!

*mostly kidding haha

 

BRimjobs. They’re terrible in beer.

 

because orange juice doesn’t have a head

 

Are you suggesting a beer photo scandal??

 

I hand wash my glasses only because I don't want to mess up the logos and whatnot

Also my dishwasher leaves a lot of residue

 

Defintiely some breweries who put filters on all their photos to make their beer look better. Vivd/chrome will make any muddled mess of a beer look better.

 

I blame it all on The Veil and The Answer for using those dumb glasses they always use

 

Beautiful day

 

glass showoff

 

Oh I thought you were suggesting people are actually photographing juice and lying that it’s beer, lol.

Hey!
