How should you pour beer from a bottle?

Pouring beer from a bottle at a 45-degree angle until the glass is halfway filled is the recommended method because it helps to preserve the beer's carbonation and reduces excessive foaming. When the glass is tilted, the beer flows gently down the side rather than splashing directly into the bottom, which minimizes the agitation of the liquid. This technique allows for a controlled pour that can maintain the beer’s aroma and head formation.

Once the glass is about halfway full, you can then straighten up the glass and pour more upright to allow for a proper head on the beer. This head is important not only for aesthetics but also for trapping the aromatic compounds in the beer, enhancing the overall drinking experience. By using this method, drinkers can enjoy the full bouquet of the beer along with its intended flavors and textures.
