There's no point in shaking it. All you have to do is pour it straight down, and it will fizz just fine. You just have to get your timing right, i.e. when to go from pouring almost horizontally to almost vertically.

From the conversation of the other day: You shake the end of hefeweiss beers in bottles because there is yeast in the bottom and you want it to be mixed in with the rest of the beer.

You don't, however, put beer in a little brass blender to whip up some froth. On any continent.

That's a matter of taste. I prefer not to do that, although some people swear by it.

It's easier to turn the bottle upside down for a little bit before opening it (the yeast shouldn't stick to the bottom).

^ Straight up. I'd say the same for se1's famous table beer.

In Belgium they pour your bottle, leave about a mouthfull, swill it about in the bottle to get the yeast, then give it to you in a shot glass on the side to add to your beer to your own particular taste, as it makes the flavour more bitter.

Weissbier beer shits though. Nothing worse.

It's like an alcoholic baby's nappy would smell like. Sweet, fruity, shitty.

Could call it a Goonie-cycle.

I love german beer. I have a load of paper-thin 200ml Kolsch glasses here from an old German friend from Cologne who used to live in a bar there. He brought them over along with a barrel of the good stuff last time he was here. 200ml is the standard size there, two to three mouthfuls typically then I'l need a refill which keeps the bar staff busy particularly when it's always table service and you pay your bill on leaving. They circulate constantly with a tray of fresh ones and keep bringing replacements and marking your beermat till you signal "enough" by putting the beermat on top of your glass. If you don't know that you can get accidentally pissed pretty quick as they relentlessly replace your beer. Fun times.

He tells me that really valued customers get the ultimate honour of the 100ml glass which ensures that every other mouthful is the first from a freshly poured new glass.

genius.

Have been to this one a couple of times in Koln. Not hugely into beer so tend to drink spirits but they have great food so have a couple of the beers while I eat it.

But yeah they had a handful of quirky customs, the beer you get if you are inside they don't sell in bottles/barrels/ect so the only place you can drink it was inside and then only from a 200ml glass which given the size of the brewery they keep going is impressive. If you finish your drink then another is put down for you within moments unless you put a coaster ontop of the glass, you can say nien/no but then another of the staff will pass by and you need to repeat over and over.

Is a great way of doing things imo, no standing waving notes at bar staff or having to leave mid meal to go over to the bar like is often the case at a pub lunch.

Spot on

Must book another visit actually

I think I'd get bored of that custom pretty quick. Quite like a piss break / eyeing up top shelf etc. In Vegas last year at the infamous Rehab. Pay before you sit deal. Kept coming back with top ups. So much booze. Shit faced. Had already been out all night. Ended up guzzling carry outs on route to next car crash. Fear and Loathing. Stag do mind.

Been staying in Williamsburg for the past week. Ho-lee-fuck. Hipster patient zero can't be too far away.

He or she may not show symptoms remember. In fact there may be no visible evidence of beard growth or tattoo formation.

There was one punk. He may have snarled at a latte once.

If you have glasses without a calibration mark. In Germany, drinkers want beer up to the calibration mark and then as much of a head on top as possible = more beer. :)

The calibration mark will be around the bottom of the head on this.

It's from the bottle. There's no more beer in the bottle than there's beer. In the bottle. And tings.

pfff. listen to you lot. this is why i drink WKD.

Ah the joys of lady petrol....

I had a lovely gent in Glasgow try and punch me over the bar because the even lovelier £1 pint of Tennents I'd just poured him actually had head on it. When I tried to explain that the beer was only supposed to go up to the wee line he looked at me like Nigel Farage might look at a Romanian seller of German dictionaries and in some kind of physical spasm that was as much primordial reflex as calculated malice, took a swing whilst still holding the pint in his other hand.

Luckily the bouncer was about 5 ft away so saved me from getting my lavender scented hands bruised by batting his head off the bar counter and dragging him outside. I don't think I stayed in that job much longer after that as I couldn't negotiate the politics of being seen by the management to overpour or the punters of underpouring. It's no easy business I can tell you.

csb.

Who the fuck buys Tennents at the bar?! You're supposed to get a six-pack at the offy and neck it in Dave's Fiesta parked in the far end of cul-de-sac, next to the stained mattress and an abandoned Asda trolley.

£1 a pint!?

Nectar of the Gods.
