The rules of beer drinking etiquette.

Here are the rules of beer drinking etiquette, follow these rules at all times in all places to become a true connoisseur of beer.



1. Never drink directly from the bottle, even at house parties or picknicks always use the appropriate, clean glassware.

2. Always use the correct glass for the beer your drinking. For example always use a champagne flute or pilsner glass for pilsners, a wheat beer glass for wheat beers and the standard nonic for most English style ales, find out more on http://beeradvocate.com/beer/101/glassware.php.

3. In restaurants always order a beer that will complement the food you choose to eat… Correction, always choose a dish that will complement the beer you will be drinking, this applies at home, picnics, barbecues, dinner parties or anywhere else.

4. As continuation to rule 3, if a restaurant or any establishment licensed to serve alcohol does not sell any interesting beers do not give service to these establishments.

5. Avoid all beers served by nitrokeg or any beer promoted as ‘light’ or ‘extra cold’.

6. During session drinking, always start with the beer of the lightest palate.

7. In a session always choose at least one beer you have not tried before.

8. Have shame on those who think all beer is classified as ether lager, beer or Guinness, but also be open minded that these people can better themselves.

9. Always try to control the speed of which you drink in accordance with how many new beers are available, how much time you have and how many beers you are planning to drink. I usually make a mental time plan of the session before I start so I know which beer im starting on, finishing on, matching with the first course etch. Remember getting to plastered to fast spoils the enjoyment of each individual beer. Stay in the comfort zone, be at one with your beer, focus on it, and ignore anyone urging you to down it so we can move to the next bar.

10. Don’t drink and drive. This can cause spillages leading to sticky beer damaging the electrics. Its also Illegal.

Final note: although I do not always live by these rules I do consider them as strict guidelines. For example sometimes in restaurants I accidentally missmatch the wrong food with the wrong beer, and sometimes rule 6 must be broken in times when only a limited choice of beers is available.

I don't feel the introduction to this blog was accurate. This does not, in fact, teach you how to understand anything about beverages in the beer category. This doesn't even teach proper manners or etiquette.

I feel this blog tells people how to pretend they understand something they do not by acting snobby and pretentious.

I feel that you would have gotten a better response from people if you had explained the different glassware types, different beers, meal pairings or proper etiquette. In etiquette you could have gone into tastings, formal and informal dinners and other occasions.

I do hope you learn to communicate and understand what information is helpful or not. The manner in which you've displayed information is clear, precise and easy to reference. However, I don't feel it was very informative or useful in any way.

Still desiring to learn professional Dota 2, he soon began exploring a
sponsor, supposedly attracting a person's eye of CLG, who have been during losing the core with their team on account of Per Anders 'Pajkatt' Olsson Lille looking
towards creating world LGD. Although each of
the vouchers can be used thousands of times, it is limited to just one redemption for per account.
However, the chance to appease the fans having a full-blown Metroidvania game was delivered with a few shortcomings.
The Halo series would prove a much less immersive experience without the intricate,
imaginative storyline and personable characters. t even realize
were missing from the first game that I now find indispensable.
As if that weren't enough, there have been two DLC releases
which raised the game's level-cap and added new difficulty level and, most
recently, players were given more content thanks to the Headhunter packs.
Standing Form – Just like the former, this form makes
it enjoyable to watch movies while aiming the screen at
a certain angle. Keep resetting the game until they are available for purchase.

As fans of Borderlands 2 are likely accustomed to by now, new SHi - FT codes

Manufacturers of seedbox servers took into mind that different users have different
systems on their native machines and provided users with servers that
allowed them to share files through the Internet inspite of the operating-system running natively on the machines.

Therefore, when you have accidently made itself
known yet a Trojan virus program, there isn't any escape until it fully enters your
computer. You probably feel it will be nice to be capable of download torrents from
your browser.
