why do people COMPLAIN when they don't get foam on their beer?
that shit literally is a scam. some tavern owner somewhere must have said 'ill make out like the foam is the best part' so he could charge the same price for LESS beer.
The foam tastes disgusting. Why the hell do people WANT it?
I like foam.
You don't like to get good head? Fucking fag.
IPAs are best with a head IMO, really brings out a lot of underlying flavors. with a nice stout its a must as well. you would know all of this if you drank more than coors light.
Their is a line. The one in your pic, too much foam. especially for lager. You want about 1/2 inch of head to make sure all the aromatics are going.
What you have there is a bad pour and are losing all the delicious aromatics to the air.
You don't drink the foam you smell the foam.

you sound like a pleb to me. beer is for getting wasted. it doesn't even taste good. if you want a patrician alchohol go for wine or one of the fine spirits. beer is literally bottom grade and you couldn't be more of a pleb if you tried. trying to glamorize beer as though it actually has nice flavors is retarded. inb4 you post some obscure german larger that is made of kiwano melon and romanesco.

Aromatics.
A lot of what you perceive as taste is smell.
The bubbles in the head release fumes to your nose hole as they burst. Same reason they have all the funny shaped glasses.

IPAs and Stouts with head? What kinda fizzy shit you drinking anon?

>australia complaining about bubbles in beer
Do you even realize that the thing you're most famous for in first world countries is a fictional account of how Einstein changed the world by discovering how to put bubbles in beer by splitting the atom?

Most of the world thinks of Australia the same way they think of Thailand: it's a nice place to visit but you'd never want to live there and have no idea what they contribute to the world aside from being a tourist destination.

thats why pokemon go was released first in australia and the us? thats why australia has one of the highest GDP? thats why australia has a government synonmous with the first world? thats why australians get healthcare?

Seems like you don't know what beer is.
Beer, like men, needs head. It locks in the flavour, like a good piece of Tupperware. It also prolongs carbonation.
Beer has tons of flavour. Try living in Belgium for a while. Quality beer is like tap water here.

>You don't drink the foam you smell the foam.
Not OP, but that explains why I never cared for it.
My sinuses are completely shot and I have nearly no sense of smell. I'd rather they just filled the glass with more to drink.

He didn't blow anything out, that was my first post in the thread and I'm from somewhere that has had more than just IPA and Coors for a long time
Face it: you'll spend the next fifteen years getting over "the new craft beer" and then, possibly, come to your senses

A little bit of head is objectively perfect. A lot of head is irritating.
Why is /ck/ unable to wrap their minds around the idea that people like different things?
Don't you have weights and measures laws? Beer is served in glasses with enough volume for a full pint of liquid along with the head.
>>7874601
/ck/ as a whole is fine with it, a few posters aren't. They start threads which end up 80% of people disagreeing with them.

Japan and US were supposed to get it the same day and NZ and Aus were first since no one lives there and they thought they would be a good test of the servers. They immediately stopped the roll out after America because they have shitty infrastructure engineers
You're not supposed to drink the foam, it's there to protect your beer. It helps lock the flavor and carbonation in, while releasing aromas. Of course, if all you drink is shitty mass made lagers, foam doesn't really serve much of a purpose.
I like some head on my beer, but not too much. There's a normal amount for certain beers, and then there's just the "you can't pour a beer or any carbonated drink right" amount, which is a waste.
>>7874246
Guinness is a nitro beer. The head on it and any of such beers is inevitable.
>>7873868
I don't want to visit Australia. I'd be too worried about being bit by some venomous creature on the nutsack while taking a shit.
>why do people COMPLAIN when they don't get foam in their beer?
Because they're drunk.
>>7873763
If you regularly purchase the same beer, you get to know how much foam is normal for that particular brew. If someone pours a pint of that beer and there's no foam, that's indicative of it being flat. In general, it's all about consistency. Some people prefer more/less foam than others. That's just life and good bartenders will cater to their customer's needs.

The foam...
>prevents beer from oxidation (metalic taste)
>keeps aromas in
>works as insulation
>if mde properly (thick foam made on purpose, not that soapy shit, which disappears in two minutes) it actually adds another flavor, makes beer sweeter and adds creamy texture - search term "šnyt"
>In summer it actually helps you fish out any debriss or flies, that might get caught in your tankard, if you're drinking outside.
>also most of the pubs use nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas to keep pressure in the barrel and pipes. The beer can be too fizzy if you don't drive out the gas by proper pouring. It's the inkeepers expertise of pouring a good beer.
I'm speaking only about lagers/special lagers. I'm not experienced with top-fermented beers, since we don't serve those.
