In this article, you will learn how to properly pour beer from a bottle, can and tap, as well as special beer filling techniques.
When (if) you drink cheap beer, it doesn't matter at all how it gets into your glass, or if it gets there at all. But if you are a true connoisseur of good beer, you need to know how to pour it correctly. A properly poured beer allows you to enjoy a special aroma and taste, and this is already enough reason to learn a little.
How to properly pour beer from a bottle, can and tap
When you pour beer into a 0.5 liter glass, it doesn't matter where it comes from - from a bottle, can or from a tap. It also doesn't matter what shape your glass is. What really affects the bottling process is the amount of carbon dioxide in the beer.
For example, Pale Indian Ale (IPA) or Belgian ales foam a little more than dark Stout or Porter beers, so you'll have to adjust to get a great foam top.
Hold the glass at a 45 degree angle
Take a clean glass and hold it at a 45-degree angle while filling.
Fill from the middle of the glass
Start filling the glass by lowering the neck of the bottle or the tap so that the beer pours into the middle of the glass. Don't be careful - pouring too slowly will not create a frothy top, and there will be no great aroma that enhances the flavor of the beer.
When half full, flip upright
When the glass is half full, flip it vertically and you will see the foam forming.
2-4 cm foam
When you are finished pouring, there will be about 2-4 cm of foam in the glass - an ideal "beer head".
Too much
If you get too much foam, then you were pouring too quickly or you did not calculate the correct angle. If there is no foam at the top of the glass, you poured too slowly and took too steep a corner, not turning the glass over to a straight position in time.
The Secret Trick To Pour The Perfect Pint Of "Dark Nectar"
If you ever happen to pour quality beer from the tap, it's important to do it right. Here are six steps from professional brewer Fergal Murray to pour yourself the perfect pint of "dark nectar."
Clean glass
Use a clean glass Weizen Glass - its design was thought out especially for this drink. In shape, it resembles an elongated truncated pear with a wide top and a narrow massive base. Weizen Glass perfectly preserves the color, taste and aroma of the beer. Plus, it will help you pour the beer more easily.
How to keep
The glass must be held at an angle of 45 degrees. Instead of pouring halfway down the glass, pour the beer until the level reaches the harp logo on the glass. If you are using regular glasses, this is about ¾ of the glass.
Pour
When pouring Guinness, slowly turn the glass upright, and finish pouring at the harp logo, ¼ from the top of the glass.
Defended
The bubbles will cascade down as the beer settles and takes on its dark color.
Foam top
After the beer has settled (a minute or so), top it up by unscrewing the tap. Fill the glass so that a frothy top appears. If you're feeling creative, you can try pouring it with foam clover like a real Irishman.
Drink like a man
A man never looks into a beer glass. Fergal explains that when you drink beer, your elbow should be facing up and to the side and your eyes should be directed towards the horizon. If you drank the beer correctly, you will see lines on the glass.
Pour correctly and enjoy the real taste and aroma of your favorite drink.
