Which of the following steps is part of pouring a draft beer correctly?

Correct! Wrong!

Proper draft beer pouring begins by holding the glass at a 45° angle to reduce excessive foam. The tap handle should be fully opened quickly to ensure a consistent flow (not halfway), and the faucet should never touch the glass to maintain sanitation. Transition to holding the glass upright as the beer nears the top for the correct foam head.

Which of the following actions should be taken first?

Correct! Wrong!

Excessive foam is often caused by agitation of the keg during movement. Allow the keg to settle before serving. Lowering the temperature or adjusting CO₂ pressure might also help, but these actions are secondary after confirming the keg has had time to settle.

What is the ideal serving temperature for a Stout?

Correct! Wrong!

Stouts are best served slightly warmer than light lagers to allow their complex flavors to emerge. The ideal range for stouts is 45-50°F. Serving too cold (e.g., 32°F) would suppress aroma and flavor, while serving too warm could lead to an unpleasant drinking experience.

Which glassware is appropriate for serving a Belgian Tripel?

Correct! Wrong!

How should you clean beer glassware to ensure proper head retention?

Correct! Wrong!

A detergent-free, non-petroleum-based cleaning solution prevents residue that can affect head retention. Glasses should air dry on a rack rather than being towel-dried to avoid lint. Rinsing with water before serving ensures no soap residue or dust impacts the beer's quality.
