    Mathematicians have come up with a formula that predicts how the head on a pint of beer will change after pouring.

    ...

    Asked why some beers such as Guinness have a creamy head that persists longer than those of many lagers, Professor Srolovitz explained:

    "What this theory does is tell you how every single bubble in the froth will evolve. There are some materials properties that go into the final equation.

    "So for beer, it will be the diffusivity of the gas in that little liquid layer that's in the wall of the bubble. Another is the surface tension.

    He added: "I don't know the tricks that Guinness uses; they could be adding a little surfactant to get the head just right. That is just pure speculation on my part."

        There's no reason to delay during the pouring of a pint of Guinness.

          Remember that something like 90% of taste is actually smell. The glass and pour of a beer affect the taste by allowing more of the aroma to get into your nose. Plus, a proper pour can affect the mouth feel of a drink. Too many bubbles, etc.

          When you first take a sip of a good beer, kinda slurp it to get a nice bit of aeration going on. It will greatly enhance the flavors of the beer. Now, if its a cheap beer, that might not be what you want. There's a reason cheap American beers are drunk so cold. So you can't taste them.

          Them same technique should be used when drinking wine.

                      In the early 70s he was working on the start of a private fence that would run along the Texas/Mexico boarder. He planed to make it entirely out of 1x6s. After planting his first post he hit himself in the head with a board, pissed his pants, forgot who he was for half an hour, and when he came to he was the Sloww we all know and love. Needless to say the fence never got built.

                          i bought a 6 pack of Dominion Ale, a local micro brew.

                          I WOULD have liked some beer, with my hops.

                          Are all ales supposed to taste that hoppy?

                            Yes.

                            Dominion Ale is relatively mild. Try Stone Brewey's Arrogant Bastard or Ruination if you'd like to see what a really hoppy beer tastes like.

                            Hop flavor is an aquired taste. Once you start to enjoy it, other beers start to seem unacceptably bland.

                              I don't like real ales. Hops are too flowery for me.

                                I'm not a big fan of IPAs, which are hoppy, right?

                                I'm a brown ale/stout/porter type of guy.
