Beer foam

Sep 15, 2004 8 Replies

If I fill a 12 ounce glass with draft beer there is foam and I do not pour a full 12 ounces. What is the industry standard for under-pouring?



Ask "Pointer". He knows.

What industry, in what country?

A bar connected to an upscale restaurant in the USA.

Then that would be an 8 oz. glass, with 6 oz. of beer and at least an inch of head.

Is this a personal observation or is there a scientific study that you can refer me too? My trials with a 12 oz glass are similiar - 10 oz of brew with a 3/4 inch head.

Personal observation. A lot of restaurants tend to have small glasses, high prices, and limited experience with beer.

Not /all/ restaurants, of course...

Pints are standard around my way.
