Start with a Clean Glass

Before pouring any beer, it's essential to start with a clean, properly rinsed glass. Any residual soap or dirt can affect the flavour and presentation of the beer, so be sure to give each glass a thorough rinse with cold water before use.

Tilt the Glass

Holding the glass at a 45-degree angle, position it under the tap or bottle spout. This angle helps prevent excess foam and allows the beer to flow smoothly into the glass without splashing or creating bubbles.

Begin Pouring

Slowly begin to pour the beer into the tilted glass, aiming for the centre of the glass to create a controlled flow. As the beer fills the glass, gradually straighten the glass to an upright position, allowing the foam to form naturally.

Control the Head

As the beer nears the top of the glass, tilt the glass slightly away from you to create a slight head of foam on the beer. The ideal head should be approximately one inch thick and have a creamy texture, adding to the beer's aroma and flavour.

Finish with a Clean Edge

Once the glass is filled to the desired level, quickly turn off the tap or close the bottle spout to prevent any excess beer from spilling over the edge. Wipe the rim of the glass with a clean, damp cloth to remove any drips or spills, ensuring a clean presentation.

Serve with a Smile

Finally, present the perfectly poured pint to your guest with a smile and a friendly greeting. The art of pouring the perfect pint is not just about technique—it's also about the experience and the joy of sharing a delicious beer with friends and loved ones.
