DRAUGHT AND DRINK
n
Be aware that the first glass you pour from every new DraughtKeg
TM
will
contain mostly foam. This is typical of draught beer. Allow the foam to settle
and continue to pour.

Tilt and pour: Tilt your glass at a 45 degree angle as you pour and adjust
upright as the glass fills -

Ensure you pull the tap handle all the way down. Not opening the handle all
the way will result in excessive foam.
n
For the optimal draught beer drinking experience, serve your beer with a
foam head of 2 fingers in height (approximately 1.5”).
