Can anyone breifly explain or Anyone know where to find a video of this on youtube or any where that explains?


Answers:
You lay back in a chair, put the funnel in your mouth and have your buddy pour into the top of the funnel, till beer is gone. :)

you actually pour a head so you get the full flavor of thr brew

Tilt the glass, mug or stein and pour it down the inside of the container slowly.

Tilt the glass, and pour slow to avoid getting too much foam.

Tilt the glass and pour slowly. Make sure the can or bottle is close to the rim of the glass. If you pour from a distance and you do it rapidly you will get a bunch of foam.

Tilt your cup so that when you pour the beer it hits the inside edge of your cup instead of just pouring it in hitting the bottom of the cup. This eliminates excess foam that forms at the top.

This new Miller Lite commercial is just wrong. Why release the aroma and flavor? I thought the idea was "Sudz Gozinya".

Tilt the glass, pour the beer into the cup/bottle. duh.. It's a difficult concept to understand.

yes, you actually want the foam at the top. it's called the boquet and it does help you get the full flavor of the beer.

unless you are at a bar and then you want more beer for your money. then you tilt the glass to get more.

nonetheless, you are supposed to have the foam at the top.

How to serve your beer

When tasting beer, always keep in mind the golden rule:

NEVER taste your beer directly from the bottle or can it came in.

To fully appreciate the finer points of a beer’s appearance, aroma and taste, it is vital to sample your beer from a glass. Glasses used for tasting must be clean and, most importantly, free from detergent residue, as this inhibits head formation and retention.
Head retention

Head retention is one of the criteria considered in judging a beer’s quality, therefore, you must pour the beer in such a way as to create a decent head of foam. To do this, move the glass progressively away from the bottle while pouring. The size of the head will depend to a large extent on the beer style (lager, ale, stout etc), but you should expect to see somewhere between 2 and 4 centimetres of foam.

The head is important for two major reasons :

1. It allows the beer’s aroma and other perfumes to escape
2. It protects the beer from possible oxidation and resultant taste deterioration.

Beers in the refrigerator
Correct beer temperature

It is also important to serve your beer at the correct temperature. Serving it too cold (as we Aussies are often accused of doing!) will mask some of the beer’s more subtle flavours.

A list of the optimum serving temperatures for the different beer styles is given below.
Pale Lagers 7 - 10°C
Amber & Dark Lagers 10 - 13°C
Pale Ales 10 - 13°C
Dark Ales & Stouts 13 - 15.5°C

Pour your beer down the opposite side of the glass,(dont tilt the glass) this should give a perfect foam head of an inch or less, and rarely foams too much--even in a frosted glass! Some bottle shapes make it easier/harder to pour, but this works 90% of the time even from a can.I was a waiter/bartender for 20 years and this always worked for me.

Tilt glass at 45 degree angle
Slowly pour beer from bottle into glass
As glass fills, gradually turn glass to 90 degree angle

If you're looking for a video on youtube, then I would think you could go to youtube and search for one. But there is a simple way to properly pour beer so you don't get too much foam. You hold the glass in one hand, and tilt it, while slowly pouring the beer down the side of the glass (not directly into the beer already poured, tilting the glass up gradually as you pour.

Here's a video.

Generally you tilt the glass, but personally i like a lil head from time to time.

Step 1 put open bottle or can to lips, Step 2 gently tilt your head back and keep can or bottle moving with you. Once the container is empty repeat 24 more times.

down ur throat!

Tilting the glass is a misconception. It does prevent the beer from foaming, but you want a head on the beer. You pour the beer into the glass standing straight up. This will allow the beer to breath and get the proper taste. It takes longer than tilting the beer because you will get a head and need to wait for the head to go down.

However, if you are drinking crappy American sytle lager like Bud and Miller, it really dosen't matter. There isn't anything to taste anyways.

Tilt the glass, pour the liquid down the side.

Tilt glass at a 45 degree angle until beer reaches the lip. then tilt down as it reaches the top.
