It reviews itself.
Strange how dark it looks.
It is in my dimly lit kitchen.
Wrong glass too, and therefore poor pouring

You got me there. It was in the dishwasher from the Dubbel last night!
Dishwasher???
Yes my Westmalle glass was in the dishwasher.
You bottle spund trappist ales yet you put trappist glasses in the dishwasher? :
What’s wrong with the dishwasher? I worked food service after high school. I only wash pots and pans by hand.
Just kidding. I don’t even have that glass. But I would look down upon a pub that would serve me a Westmalle in the wrong glass.
For sure. Most bars just couldn’t sustain an inventory of Trappist glass! I have the majors: Chimay, Rochefort, Orval and Westmalle.
I once had a few Trappist beers in a nice little bar where the NE corporate headquarters for my company is. They didn’t have specific glass but they serve me in a wide rimmed chalice, which I thought was a great touch. In fact, there were two female bartenders there and when the first grabbed a generic tulip glass, the second corrected her, “That’s monk beer. Put it in the chalice.”
Was that one bottle spunded? If so, what did you conservatively shoot for in terms of carb levels?
I wish!
That’s an actual Westmalle.
I’m going to be targeting 3.0-3.2 to start.
Ha! i thought you posted a pic of one of your bottle spunded tripels!!
Something like that is ultimately the goal of my upcoming trials.
All my glasses, Trappist or other, get hand washed. Just me maybe.
For me it’s just easier. I have two kids and between rinsing all my dishes thoroughly (no crud), sani-rinse and steam dry, there is zero difference between hand wash and machine wash.
The only thing I worry about is fading of logos or deterioration of a gold/silver rim, both which I’ve seen happen.
That’s definitely true. If there is any sort of delicate logo or plating on it it gets hand washed.
Just be glad I didn’t take the picture, else it may have wound up in a Chimay glass…
I buy 4-packs of Libbey for “everyday” glasses, and they just get run through the dishwasher. Once they start getting “milky” and scratched up we just donate them and buy a new pack.
All the rest of the “nice” glasses get hand washed.
