A dirty glass will Make Beer go flat very quickly. You can tell if a glass is dirty by tilting and seeing if the head sticks to the glass. If it does it is clean, if not send it back and ask for a new glass.
Thick walled beer mugs are best and should be used whenever possible. If using plastic make sure that you are using it for the first time as plastic can impart flavours from previous drinks into the beer.
