Pouring Technique - PerfectDraft

  1. For the easiest pour, always use a clean chilled glass or rinse a clean glass in cold, fresh water prior to pouring.
  2. Hold the glass under the spout at a 45 degree angle. Keep the spout as close as possible to the inside of the glass. The spout should not touch the glass or be submerged in the beer, as this will affect the foam head.
  3. Fully open the tap handle in one fluid movement. Beer only flows properly with the tap handle fully down.
  4. Let the beer flow against the wall of the glass about 2 cm (1”) below the rim of the glass. Gradually straighten and lower the glass while the foam head rises to the rim of the glass. To create more foam, increase the distance between spout and glass.

Glass Cleaning

You should clean your beer glasses with hot water and some dish washing liquid. Thoroughly rinse glasses with cold tap water to remove all grease and soap residue. The rinse aid used in dishwashers quickly breaks down the foam head of a freshly poured beer. Glasses are "beer clean" when water runs down them evenly.
