How to: Properly Pour Beer in a Glass

A beer “head” of foam is, like most things in life, an example of perfect balance; too much and its undrinkable, and if not enough, you can’t full experience the unique compounds of a given brew. 

I learned this technique through working my way through college as a server, but I’ve seen it go awry enough (especially after a glass or two already) that I’m happy to share this helpful how-to from The Art of Manliness.

Jeremy Anderberg says, ” When properly poured, the beer produces aromas and flavors that can only be present at the right conditions, and with the agitation of a proper pour…The process for pouring beer into a pint glass is the same whether you’re doing it from a bottle, a can, or a tap. It’s also the same no matter the style of glass.”
