Alright, let’s talk about something that separates the casual beer drinker from the true enthusiast: the pour.
You ever see someone dump a beer straight into a glass, creating a foamy disaster? Or worse—tilt the glass and pour it so gently that there’s zero head? Both are crimes against beer, and I won’t stand for it.
A proper pour releases aromas, softens carbonation, and makes sure you don’t miss out on half the experience. My general rule?
✅ Tilt the glass at 45° and pour steadily.
✅ Straighten at 50-75% full to let the foam form.
✅ Aim for about a 1-inch head—yes, foam is your friend.
Of course, some styles have their own quirks. Weizenbiers love a tall, fluffy head, while nitro stouts need a hard pour to activate the cascade.
What’s your go-to pour technique? Or do you just drink straight from the can like a heathen? (No judgment… maybe.)
