Here’s the secret sauce. First, grab a clean, dry glass. Seriously. A wet glass or one with soap residue is a foam factory. Rinse it and dry it. Your beer deserves a fresh start.
Next, chill the glass if you can. A cold glass slows down the CO₂ escape. Not essential, but it’s like wearing socks on a cold floor—just nicer.
Now, hold your bottle at a 45-degree angle. Tilt the glass to match. Pour the beer slowly, aiming the stream at the middle slope of the glass wall, not the bottom. Let it slide down like a gentle waterfall. No splashing allowed.

Keep pouring until the glass is about half full. Then, here’s the magic move: straighten the glass upright while continuing to pour. This creates a tiny, controlled “head” of foam—about a finger’s width. That’s perfect. Foam is your friend in small doses—it releases aroma and traps flavor.
The “Lazy Man’s Secret” (Shhh)
If you’re totally impatient, try the spoon trick. Hold a clean, upside-down spoon just above the beer as you pour. The stream hits the spoon first, breaking its fall. Foam vanishes. It’s like a tiny roof for your beer.
Or, just pour into a wet glass and watch the chaos unfold. No, don’t do that. Stick with dry glass. Trust me.
