I've followed my dad's oath of only washing them in warm salty water which worked for a while, but it's now failing. Have tried using the sterilising stuff like sodium metabisulphite and Milton's baby bottle wash to no avail. They've never seen dishwashing detergent.

To spark them up I'm now putting the tiniest pinch of salt in before I pour - yeah, I know that's just not on!

Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance.

Back on topic, my all time favourite beer was Tooheys Pils, sadly it was taken off the market. Unless I'm up for a treat, I buy whatever heavy beer is on special at the time.

Cheers!

just a light " shot" in the base of the glass to roughen the bottom .
the textured/rough surface allows the beer to work its magic .
