MODULE 5: BEVERAGE AND TOBACCO

• Hold the glass in a correct and hygienic manner, that is, by the stem or body,
never by the rim.
• The glass should be held at an angle of about 45 degrees.
• The nozzle of the tap should be close to, but not touching the inside of the
glass.
• Keep the nozzle clear of the beer to avoid too much 'head' or froth on the
beer.

Bottled and Canned Beer

Beer is also available in bottles and cans. This beer has a major advantage over draught
beer because its shelf life is six to twelve months if unopened.

Pouring bottled or canned beer

• When pouring bottled beer, it should be poured down the inside of the glass,
which is held at a slight angle.
• The neck of the bottle should not be placed in the beer when pouring.
• As you pour, watch the head forming and increase or decrease the flow
accordingly. Pour more slowly to prevent excess froth.

All glasses used should be spotlessly clean with no finger marks, grease or lipstick on
them. Pouring beer into a dirty glass will cause it to go flat very quickly.
