How to pour a perfect beer
Follow the instructions below to pour a perfect beer.
cleaning beer glasses
Always use clean beer glasses when you tap beer.
1 Clean the glasses carefully in hot water with some washing-up liquid.
Rinse the glasses thoroughly with cold tap water.
In this way you remove all grease and soap residues, which allows you to
pour a beer with a good head.
Hold the glasses upside down to the light to check if they are free of
grease and soap residues.
The glasses are clean when the water runs down the surface evenly,
without revealing any stains.
Tip: If you clean beer glasses in the dishwasher, do not use a rinse agent. Rinse
agent residues may break down the foam head of the beer.
Pouring beer
1 You get the best results if you pour the beer in a cool, clean and wet
glass!
Note: A cool glass ensures a more stable beer head. It also keeps freshly
poured beer fresh longer and helps to retain its sparkling quality.
Note: For the best quality draft beer, always clean and rinse used
glasses before you use them again. This prevents foam residues of previously
poured beer from causing too much foam in freshly poured beer.
Note: When you have not poured beer for more than a week, it is
recommended to let beer flow into the glass for 1 second. Then rinse the glass
with cold water before you fill it with fresh beer.
Hold the glass by the bottom or in the middle to make sure it stays
clean.
Open the tap in one quick, smooth movement.
The beer only flows properly into the glass if the tap is completely open.
If the tap is only half open, the beer is forced through the tap, causing it to
foam more strongly.
Let the beer to flow down the inside of the glass.
To vary the size of the beer head, vary the angle at which you hold
the glass under the spout and vary the distance between the glass
and the spout.
The more upright and the closer to the spout you hold the glass, the more
foam you obtain.
Note: Do not let the end of the spout touch the beer glass, the beer or the
beer head. Any beer residues present on the spout affect the forming of the
beer head.
