Quick answer
Hand wash your Craft Master Glass with mild soap and warm water, then air dry. Avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers to prevent etching and preserve the glass's aroma-enhancing design.
Why hand washing matters for your Craft Master Glass
The Craft Master Glass is designed with a tapered body and flared lip to maximize and retain aromas—ideal for IPAs, stouts, and lagers. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can cause etching (microscopic scratches) that dull the glass and trap residues, reducing the sensory experience. Hand washing keeps the surface smooth and the glass clear.
Even if you're used to tossing barware in the dishwasher, this glass rewards the extra minute of care. The trade-off is a slightly longer cleaning routine, but the payoff is a consistently better tasting experience for your non-alcoholic beer.
Step-by-step cleaning guide
- Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the glass with warm water right after finishing your drink. This prevents residue from drying and sticking. A quick rinse now saves scrubbing later.
- Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Use a few drops of mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Gently clean the inside and outside, paying attention to the rim and base. Avoid steel wool or scouring pads—they cause etching.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water: Rinse until all soap is gone. Soap residue can affect the taste of your next pour. Check for suds; a second rinse is better than a soapy finish.
- Air dry upside down on a clean towel: Place the glass upside down on a lint-free towel or drying rack. Let it air dry completely before storing. Don't use a dish towel to dry—it can leave lint or transfer odors.
- Polish with a microfiber cloth (optional): For a streak-free shine, gently polish the dry glass with a clean microfiber cloth. This removes any remaining water spots. Handle the glass by the base to avoid fingerprints on the bowl.
