Sick Of Too Much Foam In Your Beer Pour? Solution Found!
I feel like using a glass for my beer is something that went away during the pandemic. Either I didn’t want to wait, or the glass became redundant or I just didn’t want to create another dirty dish.
Like so many things during the pandemic, if it wasn’t absolutely needed: I stopped giving a F#ck about it. So… less pouring-my-beer-in-a-glass. But lately, I’ve found that I’m back to using glasses for my oat soda…
And that means I’m back to that constant problem of pouring too much foam in my glass.
It’s not an earth shattering problem… and I can get the perfect amount of foam in your beer by tilting your glass a little. But obviously that’s a LOT of work, so a design firm in Japan came up with a solution . . .
They just unveiled a new beer can with TWO pull tabs instead of one. There’s one off to one side and another off to the other side. Neither is in the middle. The company says this double-tabbed top will give you the perfect beer-to-foam ratio. (Here’s a photo.)
You pull the one on the left first to open the can part way. Then you pour half of your beer straight into the center of the glass.
That leaves you with mostly foam. But then you pull the second tab, and pour the rest of the beer in. And you end up with a 7-to-3 beer-foam ratio . . . what they consider the perfect pour.
Quite frankly, I think their ratio is way off. 30% foam? No thanks. I’m a 10% to 15% kind-of-guy.
So far it doesn’t sound like they have any major beer distributors on board… probably because we really don’t need a new beer can with two pull tabs instead of one but what do I know?!
Here’s a video of it in action:
