Yeah, I know, it's cheating. THAT SAID, in the deepest and darkest corners of my quickly-fading memory I recall hearing about beer glasses that were etched on the INSIDE to create the tiny defects necessary to create those lovely streams of bubbles that flow up from the bottom of the glass. Or, anyone ever try DIYing this? I seem to recall one of my engineering professors talking about how an acute angled defect in the glass decreased the total free energy of formation necessary for the CO2 bubble to precipitate out of the liquid phase, and that's why that constant stream of bubbles came from the same spot in the glass. I wonder if scoring the very bottom of a glass with a scratch awl would have the same effect.
I know, proper carbonation is key. Again, that said, having a little extra "oooohhh ahhhh" factor when handing a pint over to a new taster would be pretty cool.
Anyone ever heard of this?
