Beer Tip of the Week - Episode 2 - Pour Equals More
In the last Beer Tip of the Week, I told you why you need to drink you beer from a glass, but how are you suppose to pour your beer into that glass?
Good question!!! Here is how:
1. Hold you glass at a 45° angle.
2. Pour your beer aiming at the middle of the wall of the glass.
3. When the glass is half way full, turn the glass to a 90° angle.
4. Continue to pour the beer until the glass if full.
See another video here.
This will give your beer the right mixture of air and beer releasing all these wonderful smells that come along with great beer. These are some just general steps and each glass and beer are a little different (I don’t turn my glass to a 90° angle until the glass is 3/4 full). It will take a little bit of practice, but you’ll get it down.

As with the series of glasses that we seem to be in, why not show us the different glasses, mugs, pints, and pewters that beer should come in. Here is something, the reason why traditional pub pint glasses or Nonic glasses, have a bulge near the top is because that when the pint glass was introduced in Britain people kept dropping the glass becuase the average size of a persons hand at the time was rather small. So glass makers made that buldge so that it would be easier to hold.
