The Perfect Pint

ipa nominated supplier Coors boasts many of the UK's top beer brands, including Carling, the country's best selling lager. Here are some of their tips on how to achieve the 'perfect pint':

Carling

DO

  • Use a clean, branded glass for every order. 
  • Renovate your glassware. For best results, renovate new glasses before use. This will remove any residue from the glass manufacture and will encourage nucleation, preventing flat beer. 
  • Use nucleated glasses to ensure good head formation for beer 
  • Avoid touching the tap 
  • Store glasses upside down on sheets of plastic lattice. These allow fresh air to circulate and dry the glass. 

DON'T

  • Refill a glass - it's unhygienic and minimises the release of gas bubbles reducing head retention and making the beer appear lifeless. 
  • Use warm glasses - beers will fob if the glass is warm 
  • Use glasses that are still wet inside. The beer head will collapse rapidly. 
  • Store wet glasses upside down on hard surfaces - the trapped moisture encourages microbial growth. 
  • Put glasses in the same dishwasher as cappuccino cups and Baileys glasses. This will create a film over the glass.
