Hard Pour



Had a can of this beer over the weekend, it's a little 330ml can of Porter from my local craft brewery Siren and had been "fizzed" up using Nitrogen rather than the more usual Carbon Dioxide. As you can see from the picture the technique for pouring these Nitrogenated beers is that you literally tip them upside down into the glass. Highly unusual for a beer pour as normally you are trying to minimize head formation by tilting the glass and pouring the liquid down the side rather than vertically. The effect is to generate a lovely fluffy white head made of tiny bubbles (think Guinness) tastes pretty good too, I'm not usually a great fan of porters (unless I'm eating oysters!) but this one was quite tasty, would be good with some nice Cheddar and crusty bread I reckon!
