Beer

Be a beer connoisseur and get the most out of your drinking experience? Here it is –

• Drink beer from beer glasses or steins as it improves the taste and aroma of beer.
  
• Botched in pouring beer? It’s high time that you become a connoisseur at pouring beer to make a fine head. Carefully incline the stein to 45 degrees and pour the beer leisurely about halfway down. Subsequently hold the glass straight and pour the rest of it.
  
• Try to impress your colleagues or friends while serving their desired drinks on the table. Learn the pouring style of different types of beer:
  Ales- While pouring make sure, that the head should measure nearly a finger width. If it’s too much, ale’s characteristic bitter is lost.
  Hefeweizen- It has strong foaming and if you’re not watchful its head might creep on you. That means pour it gently without straightening the glass.
  Stouts- After pouring till half of the glass, allow the beer to settle. Then only finish the rest.
  Pilsners- It doesn’t require any tricky rules. Pour the beer directly into the vertical glass and you’re done with a strong head of pilsner. The head should majestically cover the rim of the glass.
  
• Without head the beer loses its aromatic flavors. So next time, make sure that the head covers almost 1.5 inches of the stein.
• Stop pouring any other drink in your beer glass, since the appearance and taste will get mixed and give you a tasteless drink the next time you pour beer.
• Don’t serve beer in frosted glasses, as too much of cooling can affect beer’s flavor and numb your taste buds.
• Drink beer from a stubby directly, don’t empty it in a glass.
• Beer poured from a tap must be drunk in the largest glass, like pot to be superseded by pint and pint to be superseded by a stein.
  

Tequila

Ready to join with your friends to take a tequila shot? Moisten your thumb and the index finger and put some salt on it. Keep aside a slice of lime. First lick the salt, shoot the tequila and then immediately squeeze the lime. Salt is the seasoning for your tongue and throat to remove the bitterness of tequila. While lime is the chaser, that helps to balance the taste of tequila.

• Leisurely enjoy the taste of Tequila, since it is a complex alcoholic drink.
  
• Folks Tequila is always served at room temperature.
  
• “Caballito” glasses are a sign of status for Tequila to be served in.
  
• Before you get mixed in cultured Tequila shots learn it. In native Mexico, tequila is sipped with sangrita. While in European countries such as Germany, Tequila is preferred with cinnamon seasoning and orange slices chaser. Reposado and Blanco must be served with sangrita made of orange juice and tomato with some salt and chili.
  
• Hold it guys! Tequila Anejo is not drunk as shots but mostly in snifters.
  
• Ladies chase your bitter tequila with limejuice in shot glasses.
  
  

Wine

People always want to have the maximum out of their wine drinking experience.

• After pouring the wine, allow it to settle for a moment, so that you not only drink it but relish the aroma of wine also.
• Know the tricks of drinking wine in a corporate meeting. Hold the stem of the glass, rotate the glass and bring it close to your nose and take the first sip. If it is tasty, communicate the approval to the waiter. Next the waiter will fill the glass till a halfway mark, wish cheers to your companion and work out your business deal.
• While holding the stem of the wine glass use your thumb, index and middle finger, as it restores the temperate of your wine and also gives a firm hold.
• Don’t restrict yourself to drinking only. Learn which type of wine is served at what temperature. White wine is always taken chilled, but red wine is served at room temperature.
• Old wines is the best wine, but remember before opening it wipe the top of the bottle to remove any lead residue.
• If there is any mold or discoloration in the cork, then clean it properly. If the mold continues down the bottle then don’t drink it.
• Remove the sediments of wine through cheesecloth, wire mess, or coffees filters and then drink.
• Serve white or rose wine at lunch meetings.
