AAB 087: How foam can make your beer a-head of the rest

Foam is perhaps the least appreciated aspect of beer.  Somebody even hate it, wanting a glass filled to the brim with liquid.  But experts insist that beer foam is important.  It is visually appealing, it is an indicator of quality and freshness, and it affects the mouthfeel and even the flavor of the beer.

What makes good foam?  There are factors inside the brewhouse and outside the brewhouse that affect beer foam.  From raw ingredients right on through to how the beer is poured, there are many factors affecting beer foam.  Foam takes the beer experience to the next level and on this episode, we learn all about it.
