Do not wash beer glasses together with glasses
that have contained milk or any other fatty
substance. Lipstick is a fatty substance.. Make

a fatty film on glass, which may cause flat beer.
?
It is preferable to steam and sterilize glasses
where health laws permit.
?
Wash glasses thoroughly with a good detergent.

Do not use soap.
?
Do not dry-wipe glasses. Permit glasses to air-

end.
