As a bartender for nearly 10 years. In the UK. London.... I can tell you... I’d love to pour beers like this- It would save my stock....I’d be making money..., but the uk London customers absolutely HATE head on their beers...especially if we’re charging nearly 6/7 quid a beer.... The glass chilling and rinsing thing would never work in a busy environment in a typical London pub... To much messing about. Some bars do have this.... none of the ones I’ve worked for. This beer does look good and I can appreciate it. Most of London’s beer drinkers or my customers especially will complain for days on end if there was too much head. Especially on that pissy ale they all drink.
Indeed and that is why we try to educate everyone about the benefits. To be super clear though, we are definitely not advocating shorter serves. You charge for the liquid you get. This is easily calculated even with head.
Yeah, I went to work in a pub in the UK from Ireland years back, and all the punters would go mad at a head on a pint. Like they were getting short changed lol. All the slop from the trays would go straight back into the barrel at the end of the night. 😂
So i have a bohemian pilsner I brewed and am serving from a kegerator using flow control nukataps. I filled a glass with cold water from the fridge, drained it then poured a beer keeping the spout in the beer. Bugger me but the head retention was far superior. I am buying one of those Czech taps from malt miller 😁
Should be noted that the taps being used are different than what most other countries are used to, and therefore the foam is a completely different texture. It's a ball valve instead of plunger valve, and is a huge part of how you get that foam. The foam is WILDLY different, it is similar to a merengue in texture.
I think this method would work in UK if there was a pint marker line in the glass and the massive head was above it. In edinburgh its like 5-10 pounds a pint of lager so your average Joe wants every drop, where as in Prague it's cheap as fuck so noone cares if you are a gulp short of a pint (or whatever measurement they use). I love how the Budvar brewery is owned by the people, what a great idea!
@@OscarOSullivan Well, in czech we have a saying "spoon of honey is better than bucket of shit". Btw you get 0,5l of liquid regardles if there is foam or not.
I very much appreciate this video, as people from all around the world tend to bash the Czech beer culture :o I mean this is a thing of beauty. Not even a big fan of Budvar, but come on, Radim is the man! Cheers!
And why do you think people tend to bash our beer culture? Maybe, because when they come over here, they expect us to be absolute fanatics when it comes to beer. In reality, a lot of places have absolutely despicable beer pouring practices, not to mention how they look after beer in a lot of Czech pubs, it's better than in other countries, but for a self proclaimed beer lovers, we surely don't meet the expectations as much as we'd like to think. It's getting better though!
I've been the "typical IPA and NEIPA drinker" for a few years and someone who almost exclusively bought beer from the local breweries (which there are quite a few here in Gothenburg area of Sweden now). I guess that is why I found this channel a while back to begin with, google knows what to show me. But lately you've truly inspired me to look back to some of the beers I loved before the craft beer boom. Staropramen and Breznak was the "fine" beers to buy when I first came of age and could buy my own, a few of those coupled with some cans of the cheapest lager was the standard purchase for a weekend in my early 20s. Now I find myself drinking a Budvar or Urquell sometimes even when there are a bunch of other alternatives. There's definitely something special with a good pilsner.
Spent a lot of time in Prague beautiful place. Seen your man on a few TH-cam videos now he’s becoming pretty famous, love his knowledge and enthusiasm. Brilliant brilliant vid again cheers 👍🍻
It's great that you've been to Budvar, where they use a more traditional two step tapping system (and in my opinion make tastier beer). Because nowadays almost everybody uses one step, which was pushed by Pilsner (Urquell). The traditional way was to tap beer in many steps (pours) and the bartender used to have many beers in different stages of tapping (pouring). This method is no longer used, because it took a long time to tap one beer.
That guy is my fricken spirit animal! EPIC! Your video series about Budvar inspired me to go there. Unfortunately, we only got the standard tour, and none of the fun stuff you guys showed. 😂
Only people in the South drink beer with no head. They say to me 'If you have a head, you can't get a full pint in it'. I say 'Then get a bigger glass, like we have in the North!'
South of the US?If your talking about country people they drink beer in the container it’s in,craft beer people I know (mostly southern )only like thin to no head on heavy ass stouts.And I’m in an area with a lot of northerners ignorant as shit about beer trying to be experts.
After seeing this in another video, I really enjoy pouring the beer faster (out of the bottle / can) so I have the first sip’s of foam only. Taste‘s great.
I put new flow control faucets as an upgrade on my kegerator. But now I’m not getting enough foam! I’ve tried all the way open and everything in between. I don’t want to turn the psi up too much as I don’t want to over carbonate my kegs. I’m at about 14 psi now. Any ideas?
Fab vid and gotta love Radim. What a gent. Got a LUKR tap in the house but not ‘allowed’ to have it until my 50th at end if the month but off to Prague and Budvar tour next week and soooo excited 🍻🍻🍻
no, not many people drink Milk, if you tried asking around you'd find it quite hard to find someone who drinks milk. So no, it's not like Czech commonly drink it this way, definitely not.
In Ireland,Scotland, the North and Midlands of England you get a decent sized head. The problem is Australia, Canada,UK,USA,NZ and ROI are not clear as to what a pint is does it include liquid and foam or just liquid as part of legal measure. On the continent they use glasses with a line as to where the head goes called oversized glasses by CAMRA and I feel they should come into use across those mentioned countries.
@@OscarOSullivan Disagree. I lived in the UK for 13 years and don't recall ever getting a proper head. Maybe they have got more informed and do it differently nowadays. My mate from the UK always insists that any pour with a head is a bad one.
You can stick it in there because the glasses are immaculate every pour. They don't reuse a glass for the same customer as might happen in a lesser establishment.
Wasn’t allowed before covid too. (Uk) Just those weird customers who convince bar tenders to do it. It’s gross. Why would you want that shitty warm sticky smelly glass that’s been sat there with that customer for two hours (at a spoons probably) be put anywhere near your taps ?
I've got a novel out which has a craft beer theme all the way through it, called Cracking Ibiza, if any of your viewers fancies a light summer read while they sup an ipa or two in the sun! Good channel!
I don't know about a warm glass causing the head to deteriorate quicker due to a temperature shock, not saying it's not true but rather I don't know the physics of that, however, what I do know is... Warm beer doesn't hold dissolved gas like cold beer does (Henry's Law), and a warm glass will warm up the cold beer. This forces the CO2 out of solution resulting in a flatter beer, faster. This is why I put my glasses in the fridge for just five minutes before I have any beer, regardless of style. It's not super chilled resulting in a frosty coating or something, it's just cooler and keeps the beer the way it was meant to be, for longer. Some people laugh at the idea of chilling glasses, but that says more about them than anything else.
You have to get 0.5l by law and there are I sectors who can come and check that's what the customers are getting. Then they just sit there and wait for the foam to turn into beer and see if it is 0.5l (there's a marker on the glass)
Trouble is, by law, the liquid must be to the brim or the mark on the glass in the UK. That's why for years we've been aguing to have "lined glasses" nationally as in Northern pubs. Then, unfortunately it will always look like a short measure unless the barman is skilled or uses a "sparkler". Got a feeling Guinness might be en exception to this though?
We have the same law here in Czechia, even when it looks like there is more foam, it should be still 0.5L of beer, marker is mostly like 2 cm under the top of glass and foam turns to beer after some time, so if they do it correctly, you should have your 0.5L of beer and you can always ask for beer without foam if you wish.
Something to say about the taps here in America. Unfortunately, not a lot of bars clean their lines or their tap faucets. I worked for a company that was contracted with Anheuser-Busch/Markstein and frankly most places don't give a rats ass about the cleanliness of their draft systems. With that said, I have a distrust with a lot of draft beers here in America lol And the bartenders will almost always not know the last time they were cleaned or not even know that they get cleaned in the first place.
Bro, NO bartender has ever put the nozzle into the beer in any place i go to in Southern California. It makes so much sense, initially I thought it was icky.. but you gotta trust a good bar to be clean.
I’m a bartender in Australia and I was shocked how many bars in the cities do it more similar to the English way. Where I am if there’s less than 2 fingers of foam on the head you get people screaming at you.
In fairness to the British they are not known for lagers & pilsners. Head is certainly less important to ales. Style is an important factor in how a beer should be poured. I'm a bit of an American style stout fan so really dark beer often above 10 abv. Honestly these types of beer are best served from a bottle rather than a tap.
I'd argue that head is just as important for ales. It's still an important part of the texture, which is why some big imperial stouts are now being carbonated with a small amount of nitro to maintain that!
oh man, as an american beertender I can tell you if I gave any of these pours to 90% of the customers at my brewery they would riot...so sad. we have a side tap for dark beers but even then we do like 1 inch of foam at most.

Very cool!
I started whipping my beer actually and i THINK its to the same effect. Needless to say its sooooo much fun to drink. Im a madman.
The effect is a bit different since you are making the foam with air and not co2 which is present in the beer.
From now on, when I want to do some day drinking, I'm just going to tell my wife "I just want to get refreshed!" :D
I just don't tell my wife!

Those foams in ales are so so good.
Any recommendation for pouring IPA/Stouts from canned or glass bottle at home to get most foams?
Do it fast into a clean and chilled glass.
What about the best way to pour from a bottle?
Working on that for a new video but check out our shorts for a hack
It all depends on the brewery Guinness,White deer and Ballykilcavan bottles always fob on me
Actually triggers me that people in the UK genuinely think that the 'no head' approach is correct.
It's the same in America unfortunately, they think your cheating them out of beer if it has a good head on it, drives me bonkers
They don’t educate/ inform enough at many bars in America either that’s why casual drinkers think they’re being cheated in some way
