You probably already know how to pour beer. But just in case you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way, we wrote this. You're welcome.

Every pour is a small act of worship. The can is your chalice. The fridge is your temple. The foam is your choir. Here’s our sacred text on how to serve your Shiny beer:

1: GRAB YOUR CAN FROM THE FRIDGE

Cold is key. Your can should live happily between 0–7°C — not frozen, not forgotten, just perfectly chilled.

2: TIP UPSIDE DOWN (before opening)

Give your can a little pre-show stretch. Turning it upside down for a few minutes spreads the flavour evenly, especially in hazy beers. Just don’t shake it, we’re making a beer, not buzz balls.

3: POUR AT A 45° ANGLE

Tilt your glass and pour slowly down the side. This keeps the foam neat, the bubbles lively, and your reputation intact. Unless you’re into giant heads, in which case, go wild. We can't exactly stop you.

4: TAKE A PICTURE

Capture your masterpiece. Post it, tag @ShinyBrewery, and tell the world you know what you’re doing. Bonus points if you also leave us a review on Untappd. Double bonus if your lighting is good.

❌ DON’T: IN THE BATH

Sure, drinking in the bath is a vibe. Pouring in the bath, though? That’s a bit weird.

✅ DO: TAKE A MOMENT

Light a candle. Play your favourite record. Whisper sweet nothings to the can before pouring. Serving beer is an art form, not a race. Unless you’re late for the bus, in which case, skip the candle bit.

❌ DON’T: IN GRANDMA'S BEST VASE

Respect your elders, and their pottery. Your beer deserves a proper pint glass or tumbler, not a relic from the 70s. Unless your Nan's into that?

✅ DO: ENJOY WITH YOUR FAVOURITE ANCIENT, ALL-KNOWING BEING

Every beer is better with good company, divine or otherwise. Whether it’s a friend, a deity, or an eldritch horror with strong opinions on hop strains, share the moment. They probably have great taste.
