When serving a beer with a cap and cork, what should you do?

Presenting the cork or cap to the consumer is the correct approach when serving a beer that is sealed with a cap and cork. This practice is rooted in the traditions of beer service and enhances the sensory experience for the consumer. When you present the cork or cap, it serves several purposes: it allows the consumer to verify the authenticity of the beer, it engages them in the drinking experience, and it can initiate conversation about the beer and its production. Additionally, this practice can help communicate the quality and craftsmanship behind the brew, especially if it's a bottle-conditioned or specialty beer where the cork is an indicator of the brewing process.

This interaction builds a connection between the customer and the product, enriching their drinking experience. Ideally, the consumer should feel involved and informed about what they are about to enjoy.
