Celebrate Beer-Clean Glass Day!
Celebrate exemplary beer service on the fourth Saturday of April by raising a pint of your favorite beer—in a properly cleaned glass, that is! Led by the Cicerone® Certification Program, Beer-Clean Glass Day raises awareness about appropriate service standards and lets you thank those bars, restaurants, and breweries who maintain them by visiting them or enjoying your favorite beer at home.
To participate, tag #BeerCleanGlass in photos of beautifully poured beer across social media on the fourth Saturday of April—this year, it's April 26. Cicerone will be sharing and retweeting our favorite photos throughout the day.
Why celebrate clean glassware? Because a beer-clean glass leads to beautifully presented beer. When a beer looks good, you begin to enjoy it even before the first sip. Glasses that aren’t beer-clean result in beer that looks flat, lifeless, and unappetizing.
Each year leading up to #BeerCleanGlass Day, Cicerone will share articles about proper pouring, cleaning, and infographics to educate drinkers about what to look for in beer-clean glass.

Cicerone Certification Program
Founded in 2007, the Cicerone program conducts examinations of beer knowledge for certification at four levels. Thousands of people who work for breweries, beer wholesalers, restaurants, bars, liquor stores and grocery stores have completed one or more levels of the certification program in the past year. Doing so demonstrates knowledge of beer keeping and service, beer styles, flavors, brewing process and ingredients and beer and food pairing.
