When pouring a beer behind the bar, keeping a clean glass for the pour is essential. Here are some tips for pouring the perfect beer. Beer is a big part of your beverage business, and serving a perfect glass of beer reflects well on your reputation. It keep customers corning back, and that means more business and higher profits. A "beer clean" glass is the ideal way to serve beer. Poured and served in a "beer clean" glass, quality beer appeals to the senses... with its frothy collar, appealing aroma and full flavor. Beer is a food, made from quality ingredients, and the beer glass is the ultimate salesman. Make sure you serve the perfect glass of beer by serving it in a "beer clean" glass. What is a "beer clean" glass? It's not just "near clean". Although many bartenders polish their glasses until they sparkle, that effort doesn't mean the glasses are " beer clean". The result is glasses that may look clean, but that may contain an invisible layer of film, odor, or bacteria. Film Film can be caused by several factors, such as the use on incorrect sanitizer or soaps, grease-based residues from lipstick, food in the wash water, fingerprints, smoke from cigarettes, or smoke from the kitchen. Odors Odors may be left on glasses when certain sanitizers are used improperly, or from contact with bar towel, stale air and refrigerated environments. Bacteria Bacteria can contaminate your glassware if your sanitizer is measured incorrectly, if it is incompatible with detergent you use, or if sanitizer is not changed at recommended intervals. As a result of these problems, the beer you serve can be "flat", produce a "false" head, or has an "off" taste. Flat Beer Flat beer is caused by film or grease residues that actually attack the foam on a head of beer. As a result, the head rapidly disappears, releasing carbonation and causing the beer to taste "flat". In turn, bartenders may then fill the glass almost to the top, reducing the number of servings... and reducing your profits. False head False head is caused by film, soap or grease on glasses. As a result, the head forms from overly large bubbles that quickly disappear. Once again, a false head usually results in the bartender refilling the glass to the top. Off Taste Off taste occurs because of the close relationship between taste and smell. A glass with an odor can actually give the beer an off taste. As a result, you may lose customers, who often take their business elsewhere rather than inform you of the problem. Soak it in, follow these tips, and you will be sure to keep your beer clean for customers. Learn the basics of beer, wine, drink making and bartending.
