Why should you rinse your beer glass before pouring?

Why should you wet your glass before. pouring a beer? Well, if you're a beer. lover, you know that before serving you. , the bartender will run the glass. under water. And while you might. already know the reason for this, someone less informed might still be. surprised by this behavior. How can we. explain it? Well, there is a very. concrete explanation for this action. Every beer enthusiast will tell you. that enjoying this precious liquid is. spoiled by the presence of too much. foam in the glass. Its height should. not exceed 2 to 3 cm. You still need a.

little bit, because it's the foam that. preserves the aromas and aids in. digesting the liquid. But if it's too. abundant, this foam ruins the tasting. experience. You must therefore ensure. that your glass of beer doesn't contain. too much of it. And to do that, you. need to rid the glass of all the. impurities clinging to it. And you can. do that simply by running the inside of. the glass under water. Because yes, even if the glass has been washed. beforehand, there are still tiny dust. particles or fabric microfibers. invisible to the naked eye. As small as.

they are, these elements attract the. gas released by the beer, and it is. around them that bubbles form, which, if numerous, will create too much foam. That's it for this episode.
