7 Tips for Enjoying a Beer at Home

We know that having a beer among friends at your favorite bar is unparalleled. But let’s give you some tips for those moments when you drink it at home.

With these guidelines, which have many similarities with the optimal management of a hotel and catering business, you will be able to enjoy your beer more at home and you won’t get any unpleasant surprises. Take note!

1. Buy fresh: look for those stores or malls that have their beer stored in fresh places or even in refrigerators. If you see beer in a store window, that’s a bad sign! You’ll never know where those bottles will end up. Besides, light and heat are the biggest enemies of our drink! You should also pay attention to the best-before date, which should be as far away as possible from the date of purchase.
2. Store well: We all have a bottle at the bottom of the fridge getting spoiled and taking up precious space. If you have traveled all over the city to find the beer you like so much, don’t keep it anyway. Place it in a cool, dry place; if it’s a bottle with a cap, always hold it upright; and unless you’re looking to age your beers, check the expiration dates periodically.
3. Suitable glassware: Look at what each manufacturer recommends and get similar ones in the household section. Another option is to take advantage of the offers that we periodically make by including a piece of glass in our packs. And you can also opt for the Teku glass, the universal one.
4. Keep your dishes in good condition: Reserve some pieces of your glassware exclusively for beer. If you use them for fatty drinks, sometimes a film is formed that prevents the correct formation of foam and retains the bubbles. Of course, remove any defects and never put them in the freezer! It is a guarantee of bad odors and a guaranteed sensory loss.
5. Serve it the right way: There, the brewer can help you too. Most of us have tips on the best way to serve our beers, but if you are in doubt there is one rule that usually doesn’t fail: serve it fearlessly 2 or 3 centimeters from the rim of the glass, wait for the foam to settle and then top it off until it is about three-quarters full.
6. Long drink? It is not bad if what you are looking for is just to refresh yourself, but if you want to appreciate better what you drink, opt initially for small sips.
7. Combining beer and food is a fun “game”. If you want to follow the standards, opt for a lager with salads, pickles, or fish. Stronger toasted beers go well with meats and fatty foods like cheese. The black beers, on the other hand, usually combine very well with seafood. Anyway, you can always look for innovative combinations. You already know that on tastes there is nothing written.
