I like the “clean beer glass” method of just washing with soap and hot water and a sponge, getting all the spots on the glass and then rinsing with hot water and placing upside down on a towel to air-dry. Sometimes beer glasses end up in the dishwasher here but I try to hand wash them with the above process.

All of my beer glasses get washed by hand due to the fact that my crappy water (even after being softened by a water softener will eventually etch the glass in my dishwasher. I use dish washing liquid (like Dawn), hot water, and a Dobie pad to clean the glasses. Takes a small amount of elbow grease to scrub them if they sit overnight but they get clean with this method.
When I’m done drinking I fill the beer glass with water and leave it overnight and wash it the next morning so I don’t have a dot of sticky beer in the glass when I go to clean it. I love my beer glasses. When one gets broken (which is inevitable) I feel like I need to have a special ceremony. :D If my dishwasher drying agent stuff (Jetdry, etc) is filled, my beer glasses come out of the dishwasher pretty good. I do have some glasses with a gold rim and I understand that gold will flake off in the dishwasher and I also have some enameled glassware that apparently does not like the DW because the logo begins to fade. I’m sure my wife wishes I took as good care of HER as I do my glassware.
This brings up an interesting point. I have a collection of beer glasses. From many foreign countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic. And I actually hand carried the glasses back to the USA (major pain). To say they are “special”, or “prized”, is a gross understatement.
