If you’ve ever felt bloated after just one beer or wondered why your brew didn’t taste quite as rich as expected, it might be your pouring technique.
Welcome to Beer Pouring Pro Tip 10:
Remove the Gas. Sip Better.

Why Too Much Gas Is a Buzzkill -
Beer naturally contains carbon dioxide (CO₂), which gives it that fizzy texture we all love. But too much gas trapped in your drink can lead to bloating, discomfort, and a duller tasting experience.
By pouring your beer correctly, you let some of that gas escape before it reaches your stomach.
Here’s What the Right Pour Does:
-
🌬️ Releases excess CO₂
-
🍻 Brings out the beer’s true aroma and flavour
-
😌 Delivers a smooth, satisfying sip every time
The Science Behind the Sip
When CO₂ escapes during a proper pour, it lifts the beer's aromas, especially in hoppy or craft styles. It’s similar to swirling a glass of wine — the scent becomes more vibrant, enhancing the whole experience.
So, What Is the Perfect Pour?
-
Tilt your glass to a 45° angle
-
Pour until the glass is half full
-
Then tilt upright and pour down the center
-
Aim for a 1 to 2 inch foam head
This method gently releases CO₂ and gives you that iconic frothy top. It's not just for aesthetics; it improves aroma, mouthfeel, and taste.
Final Sip 🥂
Pouring beer right isn’t just for bartenders. It’s a simple tweak that makes every beer, whether it’s a casual can or a prized IPA, taste better and feel better.
So next time you crack open a cold one, remember:
Remove the gas. Sip better.
