How to pour the perfect pint

Beer Advocate is tired of people pouring bad beers. You know you have encountered at least one brew that either had no foam or was left as flat as a board, after having too much "head" produced during pouring. Pouring beer from taps is more challenging than pouring beer out of a bottle, but everyone needs to start somewhere. Beer Advocate has put together helpful instructions on how to pour a beer, complete with a short video clip demonstrating the perfect pour. This method, summarized here, will also work for pouring sodas and other carbonated beverages.

  1. Get a tall, clean glass (preferably a pint glass).
  2. Hold the glass at a 45 degree angle and slowly pour the beer directly into the center of the side of the glass.
  3. Once the beer is half poured, turn the glass upright and continue pouring to produce foam, which will ideally be 1-1 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Enjoy!
