A pint of keg lager

Ingredients

• Lager keg, 5–8°C568 ml

Method

1. Check the glass is 'beer clean' (water should sheet off it evenly).
2. Hold the glass at 45°, about 2.5 cm below the tap, without letting the tap touch the glass or beer.
3. Open the tap fully in one movement; a half-open tap makes the beer foam.
4. Pour down the side until the glass is about half full, then gently bring it upright and pour down the middle to form the head.
5. Close the tap as the foam reaches the rim.
