How to Pour a Beer?



  • Hold your glass at a 45° angle. Pour the beer, targeting the middle of the slope of the glass. Don't be afraid to pour hard or add some air between the bottle and glass.
  • At the half-way point bring the glass at a 90° angle and continue to pour in the middle of the glass. This will induce the perfect foam head. And remember, having a head on a beer is a good thing. It releases the beer’s aromatics and adds to the overall presentation. You may also want to gradually add distance between the bottle and glass as you pour, to also inspire a good head. An ideal head should be 1" to 1-1/2".
  • Many people prefer to have a smaller head. In this case, continue pouring at a 45 degree angle as much as possible.

A little Gyan:
The head forms due to the glycerin in the beer. If you're in a beer belly losing spree, then, let the head foam, remove it and then enjoy your beer... Don't know if it actually helps, but no harm in trying...
