I've been enjoying widget-powered Kilkenny Draught lately. It's one of the most drinkable creamy beers around, rich ruby in colour with a head that lasts forever and, as a bonus, gives you a white moustache. After chilling it for three hours, marketers Lion Breweries recommend pouring it in one smooth action into a cool glass, held at a 45 angle. But I think it tastes better when poured straight to the bottom of the glass. This way the gas is more fully released, freeing the beer of any dissolved nitrogen taste.
Beer is for sharing.
That seems to be the thinking that has prompted the overdue arrival of the imported tall bottle, the 650ml Heineken. All serious beer drinkers have pet hates.
