How to Pour Beer
- To master the art of pouring beer, the first step is to check if the glass is completely clean or not. Glasses that have oil, dirt or residue remains do not offer the right head and may also change the flavor of the beer.
- Angle the glass at 45 degree and start pouring the beer aiming at the middle of the incline of the glass.
- When the mug is half-filled, straighten the glass to 90 degree and start pouring the rest of the beer to fill the middle of the glass.
- A perfectly poured beer has an ideal head of about 1 to 1½ inches. You may also increase the distance of pouring once you have gained the confidence to do so. A perfect head makes the beer have a good aroma and adds to the flavor and presentation.
