Here’s the magic number: 45 degrees. Tilt your glass at this angle before you even open the bottle or can. It’s the single most important move you’ll ever learn. Think of it as a gentle first date between the beer and the glass.
Pour slowly, aiming the stream at the side wall of the tilted glass. This minimizes splashing and controls the release of carbonation. You’re basically lulling the beer into a calm state of zen.
