Foam On a Fine Craft Beer is Important For Your Craft Beer Enjoyment!

The mathematical equation for moderation is: 1 + 1=2.
I used to think foam on a beer cheated me on the beer itself. Over time I learned that foam gives me a deeper enjoyment of my Premium Beer Experience; a missing piece of a complex puzzle

The beer may not be all about the foam, but you gotta admit it is also fun to look at.

 

The foam on a beer, often called the “head,” serves several important purposes:

      • Aroma Release: The foam helps release the beer’s aromatic compounds, enhancing the overall flavor experience.

      • Carbonation Control: It regulates the release of carbon dioxide, preventing the beer from becoming overly carbonated and reducing the likelihood of a gassy stomach.

      • Visual Appeal: A good head of foam makes the beer look more inviting and can indicate a well-poured pint.

      • Mouthfeel: The foam can add a pleasant texture to the beer, contributing to a creamier mouthfeel.

      • Oxidation Protection: It helps protect the beer from oxygen, which can cause it to go flat and lose its flavor.

    So, next time you pour a beer, appreciate the foam for the extra enjoyment it brings to your drink!
