Drawing a beer well ...

Pre-drawing

1. The cleaned, pre-rinsed, cool glass is held at an angle under the spout.
2. The tap is quickly opened completely. The beer runs into the glass at its tilted rim. During filling the glass is gradually moved into the upright position until the resulting foam reaches up the rim of the glass.

Finish drawing

1. Close the tap and set down the glass for approx. 1 minute. The foam settles and begins to become firm.
2. Then hold the glass under the tap at an angle again and allow the beer to "slide down" at the rim of the glass. Now the glass should be both correctly filled and provided with a nice head of foam, but should not overflow. Most of our taps are equipped with a so-called foam button. By pressing the tap handle towards the rear, it's very easy to put on a perfect head of foam.

The spout should never be held in the beverage while drawing a beer. Unfortunately, this is frequently done during drawing! First of all, this is of course unhygienic (even if the spout is cleaned regularly) and prevents the drawing process from being carried out perfectly.

Possible mistakes

1. The tap is not opened quickly and completely. Heavy foaming results.
2. The stream of beer is directed at the bottom of the glass from a great height. This also causes the beer to foam heavily.
3. Dry glasses are used. Heavy foaming and gas bubbles result.
