    So I typically pick up a few of the Darkness snifters each year. I got a set of four for Christmas from my in-laws this year and the writing on two is coming off. Hand wash with a sponge, no scrubby. First time this has happened. Has anyone else run into this with the fancy script ones from 2015? Think the gift shop would exchange without a receipt?

    I haven't had that happen to either of mine from this past darkness day, but I guess I don't use them too often either.

    I'd definitely talk to the gift shop about it. Maybe they'll do nothing, but it's worth a shot. They might even throw in a free tap pour or something. Hopefully you get it worked out.

    I haven't seen it on the Darkness snifters, but the first batch of Surly Teku's had the same problem for me. Disappointing as they are the first (of many breweries glasses) that I have had that happen to.

    Yup, my first Darkness one the writing is coming off, hand wash gently or use a dishwasher. I think my first one is 2012, I'd have to double check. Got lucky and the Haskell's by my work put some of that year out last Oct so I grabbed a second one and basically gave away my faded one. I have to many glasses, so I need to do another shedding.

    My 2015 just came off on the last washing. It had been fine until then but almost all the lettering is now coming off.
