Beer Foam
In New York City, each glass of beer must have at least one
inch of foam on the top.....That is to prove that the glass is
NOT dirty.....(An unclean glass will not allow the foam to
be formed.....
South of the Mason-Dixon line, each glass of beer must have
NO foam....One pays for 12 oz of beer and one wants to drink
12 oz of beer.....(Not 10 oz of beer and 2 oz of foam)....
Some company has now invented a faster beer tap which will
provide more glasses of beer, per keg, at higher pouring rate.....
One question....How can one get more ounces of beer out of
a 1/2 keg than the keg holds?......Does this new invention just
produce more foam, which we know that some people will
not pay for?....
For the record....The larger "1/2" keg holds 15 gallons of beer....
(128oz x 15 =1920oz or 160 12oz (no foam) servings....Also at
current beer keg prices, and allowing for shrinkage/loss in
tapping a keg....Today's "cost" for a glass of draft beer is 50 cents....
