Common Beer Terms

Chill Haze:
A cloudiness, or haze that occurs in beer when it gets cold as a result of the proteins and polyphenols bonding with hydrogen. Once the beer warms up this should disappear. It is possible to add clarifying agents to beer to prevent chill haze from occurring.

How do I pour a Beer?

Here at Beer Guide we always recommend that you drink from a glass to experience the best the beer has to offer and we recommned you read over our glassware guide for beer. Not only will it assist you in understanding why glassware is important, but it will also help you select the correct glass too.

The perfect pour

Use a clean glass, free of oils, dirt or any previous beers you may have had in your current sitting. This is to ensure there is no contaimination or cross mixing of flavours.
Hold your glass at roughly a 45° angle. Pour the beer, targeting the middle of the the glass. There's no rule about the distance between the bottle and glass, that's personal preference. However in our experience until you are more comfortable with pouring beer a smaller distance and slower pouring is preferred.
When you are half-way through the bottle bring the glass to a 90° angle and continue to pour in the middle of the glass. This will induce a good foaming, remember an 'ideal' head is around 3cm to 5cm or 1 to 1.5 inches in the old scale.
