  • How do you pour a beer? Turns out this popular pouring method - that results in little to no foam - is completely wrong. And can actually cause stomach issues!
    Max Bakker, a Master Cicerone (think a sommelier for beer) and High-End Educator at Anheuser-Busch InBev shows the correct technique.

    In Germany a beer has to be served with foam on top to prove that it isn't stale. However the foam in German beers is like whipped cream and can extend above the rim of the glass without pouring down the side. In some parts of the country that's called a "Feldwebel" or "sergeant". Prost! 🍺

      Different beer styles have different types of foam. German lagers are likely to have thick, creamy heads, made up of very tiny bubbles, whereas IPAs tend to have a more rocky head. And some beers don't have much foam at all, or it dissipates quickly. It's all part of whatever style they are.

    @DanBlabbers Před 2 lety +148

    Honestly this makes a lot of sense, I don’t think he explained it as well as he could. Bartenders would pour it to reduce foam so they can quickly fill the glass and give the customers their order as fast as possible. If you’re drinking beer at home, I’ll pour it heavy to get a lot of foam, wait a minute then pour at a 45 degree angle or so. Foam settles into beer and releases gasses.

      ​@@him050I don't know what kind of beer you drink but no beer goes flat in a couple of minutes after being poured, regardless of the technique. The point of this is to reduce carbonation not eliminate it. In most central European cultures (Germany etc) a head of foam is preferred or even demanded for each beer.

    First type of pouring is what in my area we might call "Jahrmarktsbier" (market fair beer), which you might come across at busy hours on market fairs because the number of customers makes it difficult to pour the beer properly (which takes slightly more time if you don't give out the bottles to the customer). Hence to speed up the process they might opt for pouring-version-1.

    I've been pouring beer wrong then because I deliberately always try to not have foam on. But I also get bloated if eating while drinking. I'm testing this next time.

    The problem with ordering a draught beer at most breweries or pubs, is that they serve in a standard "pint" glass. And while technically it is 16 oz., that volume is fulfilled only if the glass has liquid to the very top. Draught beer should be served with a head by having it poured into an imperial pint glass. The additional 3 oz. that the glass can hold will accommodate an ample head while assuring the customer gets an honest 16 oz. of brew.

      Jerry Fort the Beer Review Guy Except that it doesn't, it's a classic demonstration of a false example. Nacho in your stomach?? The act of putting the beer in your mouth releases the carbonation. This is pseudo-chemistry from someone who wants to display their apparent expertise & presentation. The head on a traditional beer comes from the initial pump out of the barrel. That head is then displaced from the glass by 'un-frothed' beer. Pouring like this is an attempt to replicate a barrel beer by appearance whereas it simply flattens the beer and ruins it's texture.

    Ordered a beer at a fancy restaurant once and the server started pouring the way you first showed (to minimize the foam/head). I asked if she could pour more vigorously to get some foam and she explained she wasn't allowed to...nor was I allowed to pour it myself. She even acknowledge the way she was pouring wasn't the right way but she could get in trouble with her boss if she poured it correctly (or let me pour it).

      I hope you didn't pay for that beer.

      What kind of restaurant doesn't allow their guests to pour their beer?

    Wow so if I chug a beer from a bottle and then put a stick down my throat and stir it into my stomach to release air it will give me a stomach ache? You don't say.

      no need for the sarcasm.
      it only gives you a stomach ache if you chase it with a nacho made of tampons.

    How about I just shake the bottle until all the foam rises out and I get CO2 free beer?

    OK, maybe it’s just me but I definitely had to watch this a couple times because the first time it looked like he did nearly the same thing on both pours.

    I drink beer out of the can or bottle 98% of the time. Maybe its time for a change

      The Alchemist advocates drinking their hoppy beers from the can so as not to oxidise the beer.

    I don't really like drinking anymore, so when I do have a few I now notice how much better it is with a foam head, and how much worse it sits in the stomach without one

    This is life changing! Hahahaha so true, i definitely needed this advice, am older and I feel more bottled with beer lately, sure it is because of this. Didn't thought of it. Thank you so much.

    I feel bad. I yelled at some bartender on a ship for pouring it like that, I was kind of annoyed. I don't like waiting for the foam to fizzle down, or wasting beer.

      But then how are you gonna know that you're need to protect the sweet aroma underneath the foam? (Molests beer with tampon)
