Drinking From Dirty Glasses

Hi. Thank you for opening.

My dirty mug of Shiner Bock from Texas Roadhouse

Are you on ‘team dirty glass’? You know, when you don’t care that much if the glass you’re drinking from is dirty and you kinda make it a thing?

I am not.

Early on in my beer geek career, an aunt of mine taught me that if you see bubbles attaching to the side of your beer glass, your glass is not clean. The bubbles are attaching to dirt.

So now it just weirds me out when I see it.

But not so bad that I ask the waiter to take it back and give me a new beer in a clean glass. I just drink it. Just like I did the other night at Texas Roadhouse.

I was raised by Midwest parents. We are far too nice to ever send something back. So I just tried not to look at my mug of Shiner Bock, filled with dirt bubbles, and finished it off.

Links To Beer

I am bringing back this segment, possibly expanding it in the future to include more things I think a D&T reader would want to see or read instead of just beer-related stories.

• I haven’t had Moosehead in forever, but I should would like a pallet of it sitting in my garage. Too bad it’s already soldout.

• Easter is coming up, so here are some ideas on how to cook a ham or other things with Guinness: Link.

• Doug over at

  Beer Crunchers

Sorry for the inconsistency of this newsletter over the past year. I am trying to work my way back into the groove of it, please bear with me.

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a great week with your beers.

Peace. Beer. Metal.
