ObDisclaimer: I'm an arsehole. I don't care if I offend people. I won't lie to protect someone's feelings.
But I would never insult my host in his own home/establishment. I guess I'm a polite arsehole.

Now, if someone walked into my home and did that, I'd challenge him to a duel. "You insult me, sir. Paintballs at dawn on the field of honor!"

Man, I think we need to bring back the duel.

You're not the only one.

I think a good bartender will pour a beer with as little head as possible. If a person wants head, they can get it on their own. Most of the bars I go to, they will serve head on beers that should have head (Guinness) and no head on beers that should not have head (BMC).

If you are pouring your own home-made brew in your own house, serve the beer however the F&$# you want to, and if someone has a problem with it, swiftly replace their foam-headed glass with a can of Natural Light before their lips have a chance to destroy the purity of your beer. If someone had a problem with how I served my own home-brews, I'd have a hard time not kicking them out.

However, If I was at someone else's house and was given a home-brew with such a thick head that I had to take two gulps of pure foam before I could get to the beer, I'd have a hard time not laughing at their failed attempt to properly serve a beer.

Edit: P.S. I'd rather drink a Natural Light than a glass of home-made foam.
 
Sorry I'll take the good tasting home-made foam any day of the week over Natty. That is just gross man. :( :mug:
 
Teach what? Manners? That's for parents to teach. Eat your words. I didn't have to as my buddies were quick to inform the boy.


It's also for parents to teach their kids not to be dicks. And yours apparently failed miserably. I agree, you were the ****** here.

Well so sad I failed you Barney. Perhaps if you read the whole thread you would have noticed this,

Full Details: In response to the Magoo comment, I gave my buddies the one-sided raised eyebrow ("Who the f@ck is this wahoo?") and they responded by kicking him out. I went on to invite him back in.
BONUS: He was wearing one of those t-shirts folks at the Mac Store wear.

And to think that people like you vote,
You wouldn't happen to be wearing a Mac tshirt would you???
 
So the folks that agree or understand the scenario enough to comment with their reactions are *********s as well huh? Your comment is as dull as your avatar pic.

Help me out here:

So I had a few buddies over the other day to try out a new IPA. Along with them was a straggler friend of theirs, let's call him Bill. I start pouring everyone my IPA in Draft Glasses with a nice thick foam top. While me and my buddies eyeball the nice carbos, Bill yells out with an excruciating screech "You pour like noobie!!!" and laughs. Not only did I grab my beer out of his hand but I kicked him out. My friend went on to tell me he's a "Budwiser." I sympathized and let him back in w/o a beer. Some folks just aren't worthy. Anyone else experience the pain of the Flat Glass specialist?

is now

So you grabbed his beer and kicked him out? No, wait, you didn't. LOL.

I went out out one night and the bartender started the usual routine of pouring beer in the glass, dumping out foam, pouring beer in the glass, dumping out foam, etc, trying to get the glass filled to the rim. I wanted to tell her that she didn't have to do that for me, but it came out as "Ya know, I really don't mind if you give me some head. I mean... wait... uhhhh."

Eventually I explained what I meant. But it's just annoying how people have so many bartenders trained to pour beer like that. Dump out 20oz of beer just to try to get the glass filled to the top with no foam. The clueless train the bartenders to pour that way and the bartenders then train new beer drinkers that's how they should expect it.

*shakes head*

If a bartender is dumping that much foam then the lines are warm and you probably don't want it or they just don't know how to draw a draft.

I'm usually more pissed when I'm given a glass/pitcher of foam where beer should be.
