BEER BACK TO BASICS

THE PERFECT POUR Step 1 Rinse your glass with cold water. This rinses soap residue away and gives that foamy froth staying power. Step 2 Tilt the glass at a 45-degree angle and pour beer gently down the side until the glass is three-quarters full. Step 3 Tilt the glass upright and pour beer quickly straight down the middle.
