Dishwasher???

Yes my Westmalle glass was in the dishwasher.

You bottle spund trappist ales yet you put trappist glasses in the dishwasher?  ::)

All my glasses, Trappist or other, get hand washed. Just me maybe.

For me it's just easier. I have two kids and between rinsing all my dishes thoroughly (no crud), sani-rinse and steam dry, there is zero difference between hand wash and machine wash.

The only thing I worry about is fading of logos or deterioration of a gold/silver rim, both which I've seen happen.

That's definitely true. If there is any sort of delicate logo or plating on it it gets hand washed.

Just be glad I didn't take the picture, else it may have wound up in a Chimay glass...

I buy 4-packs of Libbey for "everyday" glasses, and they just get run through the dishwasher. Once they start getting "milky" and scratched up we just donate them and buy a new pack.

All the rest of the "nice" glasses get hand washed.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

I only seem to see degradation in metallic logos (my Duvel glass).  Normal coloured logos (Achouffe) seem fine.

I've never experienced any scratching or "milkiness". Maybe I don't drink enough!

I think Narvin's point is most applicable to me as I use the sani-rinse and steam dry on my unit.

Some get a "haze" after a while. Could be anything from water hardness to the detergent we use. I also use the steam dry feature.
