Pouring
Pouring from a bottle must be done with care. Generally speaking, the bottle should be opened carefully so that carbonation levels in the beer are not disturbed. Hold the glass at a slight angle and carefully pour the beer slowly against the side of the glass. When the glass is over half-full, slowly begin to pour directly into the glass. Try to maintain a reasonable head (the amount of head desired will vary by beer style) by pouring slowly. If you are pouring a home- or micro-brew, many bottles will have some sediment remaining in the bottom in the bottle. With certain exceptions (if you are drinking hefewiezen, for example), you should try to leave as much of this sediment in the bottle as possible. Allow the carbonation levels to settle, then enjoy!
