How to Pour From a Beer Bottle

A nice frosty glass of ice cold beer

Pouring from a beer bottle to a mug or glass sounds easy enough, but it's a totally different thing to pour a perfect glass every time. With the right technique, you can avoid foam, suds and warm beer. It takes some practice, but it is worth the extra effort.

Things You'll Need

• Mug

Instructions

1. Make the mug or glass frosty. Put the mug or glass into a freezer for at least 2 hours. When you take it out, there should be a layer of frost on the glass. Starting off with a frosted mug will make the cold beer you pour that much colder.

2. Open the beer bottle and tilt the bottle at a 45-degree angle into the frosty mug, which should also be tilted at a 45-degree angle.

3. Start pouring. Make sure that you pour the beer from bottle to glass very slowly, in order to prevent foam and bubbles.

4. Continue pouring slowly until all of the beer is in the mug. As you run out of beer from the bottle, tilt the bottle down and the mug upwards, until all of the beer is in the mug. That is all it takes to pour out the perfect frosty cold glass of beer.

Tips & Warnings

• Beer will stay colder in glassware where your hand isn't actually touching the part of the glass where the beer is contained. An example of this would be a mug where you are holding the handle.

• Do not pour too fast or else you will have half of the mug full of foam and beer spilling out of it.
