Same tour master said to pour beer into a glass with a wide enough opening to get your nose in so the aroma will enhance the flavor of the beer.
Also, pour down the middle to create the foamy head allowing some carbonation to escape and making the drinking smoother on the throat...and only pour as much as it takes to finish that amount as the head is disappearing.
If "beer clean" the foam should lace the sides of the glass.
You're like a GENIUS!
But makes total sense (...kinda pun intended...). Mebbe, iffin' and when I drink from a can, I'll hold the can away from my mouth and nose and just pour the beer straight down. Assuming, of course, that I remember to do that....
And yah, I almost always pour down the middle but hadn't heard the 2nd part about re-pours. Thanks!
