How to Pour Draft Beer
I was lucky enough to get a job as a bartender but I have been failing at pouring draft beer, which is like 90 percent of the job. This has been embarrassing to say the least. I have been getting way too much head in almost every glass. Even when I think I have it right I suddenly pour a beer that is 30 percent head and have to dig the top off with a spoon. Not only does that waste beer, but also it is just generally embarrassing.
