How to pour a perfect beer
Follow the instructions below to pour a perfect beer.
Cleaning beer glasses
Always use clean beer glasses when tapping beer.
1 Clean the glasses carefully in hot water with some washing-up
liquid.
2 Rinse the glasses thoroughly with cold tap water.
In this way you will remove all grease and soap residues, which will
allow you to pour a beer with a good head.
3 Check if the glasses are free of grease and soap residues by
holding them upside down to the light.
The glasses are clean when the water runs down the surface evenly,
without revealing any stains.
B
Tip: if you clean the beer glasses in the dishwasher, you should not use a
rinse agent. Rinse agent residues may break down the foam head of the
beer.
Pouring beer
1 You will get the best results if you pour the beer in a cool,
clean and wet glass!
B
A cool glass ensures a more stable beer head.
B
A cool glass will also keep freshly poured beer fresh longer and helps to
retain its sparkling quality.
◗ NB: For the best quality draft beer, used glasses should always be
cleaned and rinsed before they are used again to prevent foam
residues of previously poured beer from causing too much foam
in freshly poured beer.
2 Hold the glass by the bottom or in the middle to make sure it
stays clean.
C
3 Open the tap in one quick, smooth movement.
The beer will only flow properly into the glass if the tap is completely
open. If the tap is only half open, the beer will be forced through the
tap, causing it to foam more strongly.
Allow the beer to flow down the inside of the glass.
