HOW TO DRAW A PERFECT GLASS OF BEER
  • Place glass at an angle, about an inch below the faucet. Open the faucet quickly… all the way…
  • Fill glass half full, gradually bringing it to an upright position…
  • Let remaining beer run straight down the middle of the glass. This insures a ¾ “to 1” head.
  • Close the faucet completely and quickly.
