In the dishwasher? Also would I need to clean the dishwasher first? Not sure if there are residual oils or soap in there that would cause a problem.

I'm just guessing but I wouldn't bother cleaning the dishwasher first...I mean, if there is visible food gunk or something, but it it looks clean I wouldn't bother. And I would totally use oxyclean too.
Or you can use borax if you've got it. I feel like I used to do something like borax, salt, and a drop of dish soap when I ran out of actual dishwashing detergent. I could be wrong about that though.

Sometimes my beer glasses end up in the dishwasher without me knowing and that would be WITH a dishwasher detergent tab in there. They come out fine that way, IMO. I generally wash them by hand and if I do that it's a sponge, liquid dish soap and hot water... clean, rinse well with hot water and then upside-down on a towel or something to air dry. That's pretty much what a dishwasher might do for you although I feel like the DW leaves more spots on the glasses than I get with a hand wash.

I broke down and bought a small tub, a bar glass cleaner with a suction cup bottom, and a drying rack. When i have 6 or so beer glasses i fill the tub with hot water and put a little pbw in it. Wash and rinse then dry on the rack. I bought a nice display case for my glasses so i go to a bit of an extreme and i wear nitrile gloves to put the dry glasses away so i dont get finger prints on them. I have a problem...
LOL. yeah, these are just for a party and I want the glasses to look good for my guests but I doubt they would notice an exterior finger print

There are DW tabs with a special glass-cleaning agent that results in less water spots although they don't work as well as when I hand-wash the glasses. How many glasses are we talking about? I would probably just fill the sink with hot water and some liquid soap, clean them all by hand with a sponge, rinse them in hot water and put them upside down on a towel to dry and eventually put then right-side-up so the condensation dries up and call it a day.

Yeah, I'd probably just wash them myself but then again I'm used to doing things by hand. Ha, I thought this was the PH.

I love Oxi for cleaning brewery equipment but I feel like it leaves a bit of a hazy white film on things so I make sure that I wash & rinse everything (that I can get my hands on) really well. I have never used Oxi in the DW with beer glasses so I'm no help there. Also, my water tends to feck things up... faucets, shower heads & glass shower doors, glassware, etc. so I'm overly careful. Softer water may play a role in how well the DW does on glassware.

I am just curious about using oxi clean in the DW. I had never thought about trying that.
Other than that nothing to add. I have one of the scrubby things like Schwanz mentioned.
Go all out and get some res Solo cups!! 'Murica - Hell Yeah!

I'm not a afraid of pulling out the Solo cups. If I'm having 20 people over for sure. But I got a pool next to my bar so excessive glass worries me sometime.I am just curious about using oxi clean in the DW. I had never thought about trying that.

Oh trust me, I am not above the Solo cup! I do not trust a lot of people with glass!
I have the Solo cups just in case.

I'll use Solo cups if there is going to be a lot of people here drinking draft beer... I just get the clear, 16oz version.
