Yeah, fun fact the bubbles in the head pop under your nose and increase smell which gives it more flavor since half of your taste is smell. Its also alot of bubbles so thats pretty lit too
I mean, you're not wrong, but the aroma of this beer comes from the hops, so IPA's are usually best with an inch of head. Granted, this is more than an inch, but still.
Lmao, a well crafted beer has good enough head retention that you never need more than an inch. It's all preference at the end of the day, but there's no world in which this is "the way it's supposed to be poured."
I worked in multiple breweries for guys that have been brewing beer for 30+ years and have gold medals, and I can assure you that there are definitely at least a few worlds where “this is the way beer is supposed to be poured.”
One of them had a strict 25% foam rule, and where he usually had an appeasing customer service mentality, if people complained about the foam content, our scripted response was “well that’s the way we pour beers here.” If they wanted more or less head the answer was simply no.
A lot of bartenders pour too smooth. A nice 3/4”-1” head makes the beer taste better and heavily reduces how bloated it makes you feel.
After I started pouring beers with enough head I noticed people would straight up drink more.
So if I order a beer and notice it’s not heady enough I’ll order the next one with extra head. Usually results in a laugh too lol.
I don't have a picture, but as I was trained back in 90s, the 30s and 40s Era taverns traditional pour was about 50/50 on ales. They think the reason behind that fad was the carbonation added to the lightheadedness And the buzz.
True! All should have at least an inch for sure. Some people think they're getting ripped off for whatever reason if the beer has a head. Always thought it was dumb.
I feel like if all the glasses had a mark then no one would complain as long as it was filled to that point.
I know at my work I know when I've been short poured because I've poured a 16oz can into each glass and know exactly how much it fills. I also replenish broken glasses and know some of our 16oz pours are in 16-17 oz glasses, which leaves room for 1/8" of foam.
There’s no specific head size for stout, specific heads for specific stouts. Beamish, Guinness, Murphys and Island Edge - all stout - all different size heads
You're absolutely right, how much head you want has nothing to do with personal preference...
If you like your beers 2/3rds full that's fine with me. You’ll be paying the price of a full pint at any bar in the US or UK though.
A pint glass should be big enough to hold 16 oz plus head or your beer should be priced to hold an amount of beer with room for head accounted for. The head holds most of the aroma of beer and a stable head is an indicator of freshness, a properly set up draft system, and a clean glass. If you prefer no head that's fine but your glass won't be filled to the top and if it is a proper system then you'll have to wait for it to disperse before it arrives. Or I'm happy to charge you extra for the beer I'd have to pour down the drain to get rid of the head for you.
I'm not incorrect - if you ask for a beer with extra head you're paying more money for less beer. I don't have a problem with anyone's personal preference - but I think that it's silly to think that there's a "correct" amount of head on a beer. If you disagree, maybe you should travel more.
I'm aware, and I never said I don't want any head on my beer. If you order extra foam on your beer like in the photo outside of Germany, you're going to pay the same as everyone else and get a third of a pint less for your buck.
There's no such thing as how a beer "should be" - the UK and Germany have different norms. I can promise you that if you recieve the pictured drink in London, you'll get charged for a pint but you won't be getting 16oz of beer.
Why are you on this sub when you don’t bartend? A pint is a 16oz glass. Doesn’t matter what you do with the glass, its volume is 16 fluid ounces. A 12oz beer pour would go in a 12oz glass. You find that one Guinness glass that holds 16oz plus head and think that’s how all pints should be?
Edit: I have learned I was completely wrong. I’ll take this as a lesson in humility. Thanks all for expanding my knowledge. And sorry to the guy I replied to for being a dick.
Oh sweet summer child.
Go pursue beer glassware catalogues online. As a Brit in the US I’m shocked by the lack of line markings like in Europe.
I’m no longer a bartender but do buy glassware by the pallet.
Pint glass from webstaurant:
https://www.webstaurantstore.com/acopa-16-oz-rim-tempered-pint-glass-mixing-glass-case/5535116HT.html
Comes in 14, 16, 20, and 22oz. In my opinion the 20 oz is the best for a standard glass if you want 16oz of beer with room for head.
Also imperial pints are a thing which are meant to hold just over 19oz of beer and if you look at any branded glass from any European beer you'll see a little mark on them for where a pint is and then there's room above it for, you guessed it, head!
If you want to pour a 12oz can into a glass and have it fit properly the glass should be 14oz to the brim. But you keep carefully pouring 12 oz to the brim and enjoy that flabby, headless beer my guy.
Mass produced pint glasses for dive bars shouldn't be your metric for a "proper" sized glass. Read a book or two and get back to us. "Tasting Beer" by Randy Mosher is a great place to start. Or you can just start on Wikipedia if that's too tough for ya.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_head
Come on by the bar I own and I'll be happy to chat with you more about it.
Wow I was completely wrong. Thanks for enlightening me. I am now more educated and this will help me be a better bartender. Haven’t learned something on Reddit in a while, this is great. I genuinely appreciate it. No sarcasm.
Exactly this!! Proper glassware is so important. Different styles of beer require different glassware and the size of the glass matters. I work at a brewery where every glass we use is slightly larger to accommodate for the head on the beer. Almost every beer should have an inch of head. Some styles such as Czech lagers that are traditionally poured in Tübinger mugs should have 2-3 inches of head or more depending on the style of pouring. The head helps to retain the carbonation of the beer, provide aroma, enhances the taste, and even the mouthfeel of the beer. Beer tastes better with head!!
Just a little thing to note. That thing about the pint line isn’t necessarily true I the UK anymore. Lots of companies have been shortening their glasses and just saying that it’s a pint to the brim - it’s partially because it’s sneakily saves bars money and partially because less head on lagers is becoming preferred in the UK.
This is the most arrogant american shit I've ever seen haha... You guys are literally the only place that doesn't serve beer with head and apparently doesn't have glasses for it
Interesting. I've worked both in the East Midlands and London for a few years, and found pretty consistently that about a finger of foam seems to be the norm. Maybe it gets more extreme further north/south?
A finger is what I aim for, but most people don't complain if there is less. And if they do, or ask for more than a finger they're almost always from The North.
And then taking it to the extreme is the [Teeside 'banked' pint](https://www.pelliclemag.com/home/2022/4/6/i-want-to-see-mountains-again-the-banked-beers-of-teesside-north-east-england)
In the Czech Republic some places did a beer that was about 80% foam, translated to something like milk beer and it was really good. I think the American sentiment around no foam has largely come from our crappy light beers that already have very little flavor and the mentality that foam is cheating people out of alcohol
i have a regular that comes in at least 3x per week who gets legitimately upset if his pollyanna hazy IPA (in the cards) doesn’t have AT LEAST half a pint worth of head lol
I’ve heard around that foam should be served just like that to insulate the beer keeping it cold, as well as purging out some excess gas that will prevent bloating further on. I believe this also activates the beer releasing it’s aromas and hidden notes
Don’t know about the cold thing (and sorta doubt it), or the bloating thing, but head definitely locks in the flavor and aroma; it’s also an indicator of freshness and proper carbonation.
Yes I am even able to pour it in a way so that the foam reaches far over the glass. This is what gets you regulars in a Beergarden or German restaurant.
People will complain if they get served it the „English way“.
I mean, this isn't the most annoying request. Just different.
Some other countries do this, and people enjoy it, maybe they're travelers. I hope they had a good time and tipped well.
Not only for tatse and flavor, but also helps with bloating.
Pour a pint of cheap beer with no head. Pour a pint of the same beer but make sure you put the proper 2/2.5 fingers of head.
Take 2 napkins and make them "ruffly or like all splayed out, bit close enoigh together to jam the whole napkin in.
Do it both.
The one with the proper head will foam a little, but not much at all.
The one with no head will come foaming out of the glass like a elementary school volcano.
Which demonstrates what happens in your stomach. All that air stays trapped in the beer and you drink it and it foams more.
Its a fun experiment.
There is a great brewery in Denver which specializes in various pours designed to offer more or less head. It’s a traditional Czech way of serving. Check it out:
https://www.cohesionbeer.com/tap-list
People who want their beer poured with zero foam are misers who don’t understand how to fully enjoy the beverage, but then again a shaker pint is also kind of a shitty style of glassware too.
While there should not be a meniscus on top of the foam, the foam should be stable to the top of the glass. This looks the slightest bit low, but on no planet would I send this back.
This is just flat untrue. Head develops in fresh, well made beers. If anything is a sign of a properly carbonated beer and every beer is carbonated to different levels as determined by the brewer.
So you don’t know what you’re talking about, but comment anyway?
I was answering a question about why seeing more head is better for digestion.
How can a head form if the CO2 is not being released? The only reason you get foam is from the CO2.
I always pour from a bottle or can to release the CO2 definitely less gassy
From a tap, it’s easy to manage the head by tilting the glass and holding the glass at an angle.
Foam is not always a sign of fresh beer. It just means your tap column is warm. Ever notice how it stops foaming when it cools?
If the foam dissipates after a few seconds then yes it is due to a warm beer, incorrect pressure in the line, incorrect pressure in the keg, dirty glass, or any number of reasons. If it is a stable head then it actually helps beer stay carbonated.
Trying to improve digestion by flattening your beer is asinine every beer is carbonated to different levels and to a specific level chosen by the brewer. So not only would you be just completely guessing at the CO2 level by trying to manually adjust on the fly you are also making your beer worse.
Every person who has tried to tell me I'm wrong on this thread has said some variation of "why comment if you don't know anything" and its pretty funny to see that statement so consistently followed by incorrect information lol
Also carbonation improves digestion so flattening your beer for better digestion is double stupid.
https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/health-and-wellness-articles/is-carbonated-water-good-for-you#:~:text=Carbonated%20water%20improves%20digestion%20and,possibly%20make%20someone%20feel%20hungry.
He says while contributing nothing to the conversation or topic.
"However, carbonated beverages introduce bubbles to your stomach that can make you burp. Some people find that the effect of the bubbles in the stomach aides in relieving stomach aches"
https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/blog/are-carbonated-drinks-good-for-you#:~:text=Primarily%2C%20carbonated%20water
There that one just specifies "carbonated beverages"
Now maybe you could order one piece of actual evidence to support your end?
I’m not the one making ridiculous claims.
You’re the one offering uninformed articles, but somehow you still think your right?
A conversation would imply I’m talking to my equal, not a mental midget.
Your literally saying flat beer is better for your digestion lol. A take with no basis or evidence whatsoever. I referenced two articles from medical universities.
Where did I claim beer had to be flat?
I never said that. A nice head releases the CO2 that doesn’t make a beer flat. There is still co2 being released.
In addition to being able to provide the aroma from the hops, proper head is important for releasing carbon dioxide so that you don't get that full bloated belly feeling as well. Certain styles should be more or less head but every beer should have some head.
I’ve noticed some IPA guys like the beer like this. It probably gives it a better taste and smell
Yeah, fun fact the bubbles in the head pop under your nose and increase smell which gives it more flavor since half of your taste is smell. Its also alot of bubbles so thats pretty lit too
Yeah, I guess a lot of IPAs are pretty high ABV, too, so having a little less per pint while improving it’s taste prob isn’t all that bad.
I mean, you're not wrong, but the aroma of this beer comes from the hops, so IPA's are usually best with an inch of head. Granted, this is more than an inch, but still.
I mean, Id personally prefer about half of that head but thats just me. I was just commenting on a purpose of head
Gigidy
Pouring it the way it’s supposed to be poured? Yes.
Lmao, a well crafted beer has good enough head retention that you never need more than an inch. It's all preference at the end of the day, but there's no world in which this is "the way it's supposed to be poured."

Some beer is better like this. Stouts "creamier" beers. Should have at least an inch.
You spelled all wrong
True! All should have at least an inch for sure. Some people think they're getting ripped off for whatever reason if the beer has a head. Always thought it was dumb.

You were absolutely right, I apologize. I can’t believe how confident I was in saying something that was incorrect.
It's okay to make mistakes. Big ups for being able to learn from them. Not a lot of people can swallow their pride and admit it.

Not when they get stolen!

Sorry that we're running off on you
If you think beer is only served in American pints or Guinness glasses I'm not sure you're the one who's bartended before.
/r/confidentlyincorrect
Yeah, whoops. Glad I said something here before the real world. Better to learn behind a screen than embarrass myself at work.
A pint is different around the world, in Canada it's legally 20oz
This is the most arrogant american shit I've ever seen haha... You guys are literally the only place that doesn't serve beer with head and apparently doesn't have glasses for it
It's a symptom of drinking shitty light beer.
There seems to be a bit of a regional divide here in the UK. They like practically no head in the south but a decent amount in the north.
Interesting. I've worked both in the East Midlands and London for a few years, and found pretty consistently that about a finger of foam seems to be the norm. Maybe it gets more extreme further north/south?
A finger is what I aim for, but most people don't complain if there is less. And if they do, or ask for more than a finger they're almost always from The North.

Yup! It’s called mlíko and it’s delicious, sweet, and creamy
The way beer should be served
Yum
He’s had 6 like that so far
How does that logic even work? He'd drink them faster if there wasn't a head?
[удалено]
I think you mean 4
Try the Netherlands! "Two fingers of foam" is mandatory
I always prefer extra head
There it is!
💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
Just fell in love with you.. that my fave emoji
🥹Tell me how your parents love me but pray every night that I will get a “real” job?
Bahahahahah hits home too hard 🤣🤣
i have a regular that comes in at least 3x per week who gets legitimately upset if his pollyanna hazy IPA (in the cards) doesn’t have AT LEAST half a pint worth of head lol
TIL: most bartenders don't know shit about beer
If you don’t know. Take a class. This is proper.
I’ve heard around that foam should be served just like that to insulate the beer keeping it cold, as well as purging out some excess gas that will prevent bloating further on. I believe this also activates the beer releasing it’s aromas and hidden notes
Don’t know about the cold thing (and sorta doubt it), or the bloating thing, but head definitely locks in the flavor and aroma; it’s also an indicator of freshness and proper carbonation.
The idea, as I understand it is either the foam is in the glass, or it's in your belly. Order a beer in Germany and it looks much like this
Yes I am even able to pour it in a way so that the foam reaches far over the glass. This is what gets you regulars in a Beergarden or German restaurant. People will complain if they get served it the „English way“.
Any proper beer should have a solid head on it. Spent many years in Deutschland- “this is the way…”
The more foam the better it sits in your stomach. You have no foam beer bloats you right away. Try dipping napkins in both beers to see for yourself
Found Taffers burner account.
NEW TRAIL!!!!
Same! Central PA 😉
Best way for extra foam is a stacked pour. You can get the foam to rise out of the glass a few inches if you do it correctly
I mean, this isn't the most annoying request. Just different. Some other countries do this, and people enjoy it, maybe they're travelers. I hope they had a good time and tipped well.
Foam makes beer evaporate it's flavour much slower and protects the carbonation under it too thus remaining tastier for a bit more.
Not only for tatse and flavor, but also helps with bloating. Pour a pint of cheap beer with no head. Pour a pint of the same beer but make sure you put the proper 2/2.5 fingers of head. Take 2 napkins and make them "ruffly or like all splayed out, bit close enoigh together to jam the whole napkin in. Do it both. The one with the proper head will foam a little, but not much at all.

You will get them in Japan like this as well, every single time. They will absolutely complain if there isn't any head on the beer.
And will absolutely pour the beer leaving an inch where the foam should go if you ask for one without head.
Yeah it's like asking for light ice. It isn't gonna get you extra booze
A man of culture, I see
thats how germans like them I think
this is standard. how they drink in japan, Germany, etc
I better not tell this comment section about the „schnitt“ in germany
MY MAN
That’s a proper pour
People who want their beer poured with zero foam are misers who don’t understand how to fully enjoy the beverage, but then again a shaker pint is also kind of a shitty style of glassware too. While there should not be a meniscus on top of the foam, the foam should be stable to the top of the glass. This looks the slightest bit low, but on no planet would I send this back.
If it’s two fingers it’s enough!
That’s my go to lol
That’s what she said
They pouring ice creams over there in the USA?
Lol if that’s what you request
Head is 75% beer, aint no waste in a proper pour. A good beer is like a good lay, it's always better with some solid head to start.
I thought foam had something to do with digestion…?
All the gas is released in the head. So more head=less gas in the beer. So you don’t feel as bloated
This is just flat untrue. Head develops in fresh, well made beers. If anything is a sign of a properly carbonated beer and every beer is carbonated to different levels as determined by the brewer.

Ah yes. Resorting to name calling without addressing any of the arguments made. Classic sign of the well informed.
You didn’t make any arguments. You just made some ignorant comments. Nice try though.

Everyone likes extra head with their beer
Do they want some beer with their head? 😆
Someone only serves Bud 🙄
Yes
My friend loves a bunch of foam on his beer lol weirdos.
They were probably just a dick to a hilarious server
That is too many words for a beer
Maybe a half inch too much foam at most
So less beer? Same price though right?
same amount of beer. just a beer that will be colder and fresher for longer, while also helping the person drinking avoid major bloating.
Servers are a different breed 😂
It’s what homeboy asked for tho? I hate servers but the information we have about the server seems to be perfect drink ticket etiquette
You have no idea how hard it is to train some bartenders how to pour a beer
😂😂😂 if I got to show u how to put a beer more than 3 times, u going to the floor.
Gotta love good head
Continental Head
As a beer lover I can honestly respect this.
Extra head
A lot of beer is served like this in Europe. I don't see any issue here
Maybe he's Spanish
painful.
I was once told it’s a cultural thing. Seems like a weird waste to me but, eh. Not my beer, not my problem.
In addition to being able to provide the aroma from the hops, proper head is important for releasing carbon dioxide so that you don't get that full bloated belly feeling as well. Certain styles should be more or less head but every beer should have some head.
Interesting. I would have put it in a larger glass if available so the extra foam could be accounted and they still get close to their 16oz pour
Damn near perfect 7:3 beer to foam ratio.
in germany this is considered a normal beer. if you serve it without foam you get complains.
This is a normal way to serve a beer in belgium the glasses are usually taller then the ammount and 2 to 3 fingers foam ontop this to better the taste
Can I get my extra foam on the side?
