Correct Glassware

• Always use branded glassware or beer styled glassware when supplied or if available. Using glassware designed for beer consumption will help ensure that beer consumers are able to appreciate the many characteristics unique only to beer. Correct glassware will assist in presenting the beer as it should be presented with the correct head and the opportunity to smell the aroma given off by freshly dispensed beer.

Glassware Storage

• All glassware should be stored in a clean, cool, dry area on a clean shelf mat with bottoms facing up. Inverted glassware minimises the risk of dust or debris contamination the inner glass before use. Storing glassware in a refrigerated cabinet can negatively affect head presentation and head retention causing the beer to appear flat due C02 being held in solution for a longer period than intended.

Glassware Appearance

• Before dispensing tap beer the glass should always be checked and should look sparkling and clear. To maintain the sparkling and clear look glassware should be regularly soaked in an approved sanitiser to remove mineral build up. For best results soak glassware for one hour when required checking visually against a good light source rinsing well before reuse.
