Viral: Man explains how to properly pour beer, Internet finds it funny

When you drink a beverage, the way you pour it into a glass can affect the taste, aroma, and overall experience of the drink. For drinks like beer, there are two types of pouring: hard pouring or soft pouring. With a hard pour you pour the beer quickly into the middle of the glass and with a soft pour you slowly pour it down the edge of the glass. In a viral video on Instagram, a man explains how to properly pour beer. The reel posted by @taphaus has received more than 2.6 million views. While some viewers may have found this information useful, many found it rather funny.

The video begins with the man saying that he is going to demonstrate how to properly pour beer. He pours gently at first, saying that most people pour their beer slowly down the side of the glass “so it doesn't foam at all.” Then he takes another glass and quickly empties the beer can in the middle of the glass, with a thick head of foam on top.

To explain why one style is right and another is wrong, he takes two twisted tissue papers and stirs them both into the glasses. This causes foam to form in the soft pour glass and some of the drink even spills. The man explains that this is why many people feel bloated and full after drinking beer because of the higher carbon dioxide. However, no foam is produced when the hard-tapped beer is stirred. This can prevent or reduce bloating after drinking beer. However, the beer can become flatter, which can affect the taste and experience.

The headline read: “Stop it! You're pouring beer wrong! Let's delve into the art of pouring beer, because the way you pour it can significantly affect its taste and aroma.” The viral video received mixed reactions from viewers:

“Pouring heavily is the only way!” Much less bloating,” one viewer agreed. One curious viewer asked: “So should I stop drinking it from the bottle?”

Many disagreed. One user wrote: “I did this and hated it. Beer warms up faster and is flatter. No thanks. I like the old style better.” Another added: “But I like carbonated beer. Crispy, cold beer. Nobody likes flat beer.”

One joked about the method, saying: “The bottom line is we shouldn't eat tissue after drinking beer.” Some non-beer fans recommended “drink whiskey” or “switch to tequila” instead.
