I was trained to pour pints in Scotland, at a pub that hosted Real Ale (CAMRA) sponsored events. We had extensive training on how to pour each of our 30+ beers. Although each beer varied according to the pump style , the rule of thumb was to begin the pour with the beer flowing at 45 degree angle to the glass. When the ale got to approximately 3/4 full in the glass, finish the pour with the liquid flowing into the middle, so as to create a head that was about 1 finger wide. This method was usually prescribed for bottles, but depended on brand (and we served little from the bottle) Pouring by the method you describe usually results in a lot of waste by creating an excessive head i must respectfully disagree with point 7.

Go out and buy 10 or 11 bottles of different beers you've been meaning to try. Gather a group of 4 or 5 friends and serve these beers blind in little cups. Ask your friend to rank them 1 through 11. Talk about what you liked and why. Everyone will come away knowing something that they didn't know before. PS. Yesterday I bought the ingredients to make 5 gal of pale ale. My bill was $27.18. If you work at it you can bring your costs down. If you have a homebrew club that goes in together to buy a pallet of malted barley you can cut your costs nearly in half. 11: Host beer tastings.

OTOH, one 750ml of Belgian Style Trippel (normally around 9% ABV) counts for almost five cans of Busch Light (4.20% ABV)in terms of alcohol content.
