How to Pour a Beer.

Enjoy beer? Pour it into a glass for a more authentic taste.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Beer
• Glass (Frosty Mug Optional)
• Thirst

1. 

   Get your can or bottle of beer. Or, sneak to the other side of the bar and get ready to pull a sneaky pint.

2. 

   Grab your glass. You can prepare a frosty mug in the freezer the night before if you're going for the extra cold option.
   
   Try to find a good beer class. Usually relatively skinny at the bottom, opening up a the top.
   
   Make sure the glass is CLEAN and that it does not have any soapy residue.

3. Hold the glass at about a 30 degree angle in your left hand. Hold the can or bottle of beer in your right hand.

4. Start pouring the beer down the side of the glass.

5. When you have filled the glass about 60 percent, start to untilt the glass to create healthy head of foam.

6. 

   As a general rule, a good pilsner should have about 2 fingers of foam in the top of the glass.

7. 

   If you've poured badly, have a dirty glass, or a crappy beer, it will look like this.

8. 

   If you've done well, then you can enjoy this.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose a good beer, you'll have more enjoyment if you keep away from the macro brews.
• Make sure your glass is clean!
• Don't pour too fast, you'll overflow the glass and get too much head on your beer.

on 6/18/2007 I'd suggest pouring the beer into a frosted glass cup to keep it really cold. Remember to pour at an angle to avoid the froth.
