-Hold the glass at an angle slightly over 45 degrees under the bottle, pouring the beer slowly and allowing it to roll on the bottom of the glass. This provides a nice aeration and lots of head. As the glass fills, pour the beer faster and slowly bring the glass to an upright position.
-Allow the foam/head to slightly 'fall' down the glass and while the foam is cascading over the glass (hopefully you are doing this near a sink) use a head cutter (straight edge) to take the top layer of foam off the glass. This seals the beer.
-Clean the sides of the glass before serving and inspect the head of foam. The perfect pour yields approximately a 'two finger' head.
-Present the beer to your fellow micro craft beer drinkers. NOTE: I like to bring the bottle with me to show the label.
TIP: Be sure the glass is clean. A chilled glass is a bonus!
Have you ever been with a group of folks or to a beer festival and everyone appears to be a beer expert? Well, here’s a few easy tips on tasting beers-
TIP: It is normally best to evaluate more than just one beer at a time, so you can compare.

cool. I'll try this tonight!
Where is Nor'east located? Are you open?
Wish there was more written on this subject. Thanks for the article on pouring the perfect beer.
Personally, I love a full foam head, as long as I get my 16 oz!
I was told a chilled glass is fine - BUT never frozen. Reason: a frozen glass will have the ice melt into the beer as it is being poured and hence, the craft beer will become diluted and watered down!
