Beer Storage Guidelines
- Keep beer chilled between 4°C and 8°C.
- Refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours before serving.
- Avoid shaking the beer.
Glass Care Tips
- Thoroughly wash the glass to remove any oils.
- Allow the glass to air dry upside down.
- Chill the glass in the refrigerator (avoid freezing).
- A recommended glass shape is one with a 1:2 ratio of diameter to height.
See the photo below for reference.
The Initial Pour
Pouring beer from a height to create a fine foam.
Achieving a 2:1 foam-to-beer ratio in the glass
The Second Pour
Wait a couple of minutes until the beer and foam ratio is approximately 1:1, then pour more beer slowly, stopping when the glass is 90% full.
Fill up to 90% of the glass.
The Third and Final Pour
Carefully pour the last beer, ensuring the foam is heaped up nicely.
Achieve a 3:7 ratio of foam to beer
The Role of Beer Foam
Beer foam helps maintain the flavor and carbonation of the beer.
It acts as a barrier to prevent the beer from oxidizing.
Foam keeps the beer fresh throughout the drinking experience.
When drinking beer, leaving a layer of foam intact helps preserve its freshness and flavor until the last drop.
