Second beer...what's your glassware procedure?

I don't just use a new glass from the cabinet, I use a brand new glass right out of the box. Every glass I own is single-use only. As soon as I am done, it goes right in the trash. I don't even recycle it.

 

New brew, new glass. My kids have been trained on how to properly hand wash the beer glasses. If they tick me off, I drink more brews, so they have to wash more glasses.

 

Usually a quick rinse but it could depend on what I'm drinking. For example, if I was just drinking a Pale Ale from a shaker pint and then decided I want an imperial stout, I'd switch it up to a snifter.

 

If its a similar style beer, rinse, dry, and pour. If its the same beer, skip the rinse. If it's a wildly different style than the previous beer, I use a new appropriate styled glass.

But this can all change if I'm feeling really lazy or drinking outdoors. I won't pour my favorite quad or similar treat into a shaker pint or a pilsener (unless it happens to BE a pilsener) no matter what.

 

The new glass people are destroying the environment and wasting precious resources due to an obsessive compulsive disorder which should be resolved by visiting a good therapist.

The rinse and use the same glass people are doing the same thing on a less harmful scale and should read an Earth day flier.

The same glass, no rinse people are globally conscious, forward thinking people who don't need to visit a therapist and can continue to enjoy their beer without feeling guilty.

 

Wait...what??? Who are you and what did you do to Provdence?

 

I like to break the glass after each new beer to keep the glass making companies in business.

 

Ok, I take it back. I'm about to crack open a Black Choc Stout, and there's no way I'ma pour that in the dirty Sumpin' Sumpin' glass. So yeah, I guess I get a new glass each time

 

I buy a brand new glass and throw the old one away.

 

Rinse well with warm water, then cool water, shake drops, pour brew.

 

Rinse well with warm water, then cool water, shake drops, pour brew, drink brew. Repeat.

 

Use the same glass and don't rinse! You won't taste the difference.

 

As far as soap goes, I've been using Stem Shine from Wine Enthusiast for a while now, and it rinses away great.Then I dry/polish with a Riedel microfiber cloth, perfect glass.

 

pretty much use snifter for all now; different style of brew; rinse the glass before next pour. if style is very very similar i don't wash.

 

I'm not gonna be left in the dust on rare things, so, I only drink out of a rinsed-and-air-dried-between-each-brew original KBS snifter or a FFF Teku, signed by BOTH Michael Jacksons.

 

I do the exact same thing and my wife complains to me "are you gonna get a mop to clean up the water?" I smile and say "yes dear." Yes, I know I`m whipped.

 

I mop with the socks on my feet.

 

Different beer, different glass....unless it's my snifter which I'll wash with soap and water between beers because I only have one.

 

That is why I love the carpet...

 

I usually fill the empty glass about half way with cool water, drink it down, and decide if I want to use the same glass for the next beer, or if I want to use another glass that is more appropriate for the style. Sometimes I clean (hand wash) the glass(es) I use the same night...sometimes they sit on the counter for a day or two. Pretty simple.
