Some pint glasses designed for lager are made with nucleation sites for the bubbles at the bottom, over time these wear out and make your pint of lager look 'dead' compared to a fresh glass. This is less of an issue with ales and other less carbonated drinks though.

It causes the beer to become flat more quickly. This is why good beer bars use a glass washer right before serving, to remove any small particles that may end up in the glass and cause nucleation.

- ch4s3 2y agoYou'll notice a difference right away, because the escaping CO2 breaks the head on the beer, which is exactly the opposite of what you want on a pilsner. As for going flat, I'd have to root around on Brulosophy later I think they did a test on this.
