As a reminder, here are the 9 steps to the perfect pour:

9-Step Perfect Pour

I: The Purification
The chalice is rinsed with cold water, allowing the glass to reach the same temperature as the beer.

II: The Sacrifice
The tap is opened in one swift motion to let the first burst of foam flow away, ensuring every drop is fresh.

III: The Liquid Alchemy
The chalice is held at a 45-degree angle so that the circulating beer creates the ideal balance of foam and liquid.

IV: The Crown
Straightening and lowering the glass creates a foam head, which prevents oxidation and loss of flavour.

V: The Removal
In one smooth action the tap is closed and the chalice is removed to prevent stray drops from hitting the glass.

VI: The Beheading
While the head brims over the glass, the bartender cuts it gently with a knife on a 45-degree angle, eliminating large bursting bubbles which accelerate the dissipation of the head.

VII: The Judgment
The bartender checks that the foam is two fingers thick. This final head creates a prophylactic “cap” that keeps the beer effervescent.

VIII: The Cleansing
The bartender rinses beer scum off the bottom and sides of the glass.

IX: The Bestowal
Finally, the bartender serves you your beer on a coaster, with a delicate paper skirt.
