​​5 tips on how to properly tap a beer with perfect taste

At the Original Beer Spa, you can pour your own beer. If you’ve never done that, don’t worry. Everyone can tap beer and you’ll have a lot of fun. But if you want to enjoy a really perfect beer, we can advise you on a few tricks on how to do it properly.

A clean glass is essential

Tap the beer into clean, chilled glasses. At the Original Beer Spa, you’ll find a set of pint glasses by each tap. Before you pour your first beer, rinse and cool your glass.

Pour beer from as low a height as possible

Now comes the actual drawing of the beer. Choose what you want. Our kegs contain light and dark Krušovice beer. Hold the glass at an angle of 45° so that the mouth of the tap touches the wall of the glass. Never tap beer from a height.

Start with the head

One of the most popular ways of tapping is the so-called “hladinka”. Try it yourself. First, you push the lever on the tap away from you and pour a little foam in the bottom of the glass. Then pull the lever towards you and let the beer flow down the wall of the glass at an angle of 45°. Finally, push the lever away again and finish off with a little more foam.

Don’t agitate the beer

To enjoy a better beer, pour it smoothly. Let the amber nectar flow freely down the glass and fill to the perfect level.

Try different ways of tapping

Czechs love beer and enjoy it in many ways. For example, you might like to try:

Šnyt – a glass, a third filled with beer, a third with head and a third empty.

Mlíko – pour only foam in your glass. This beer has a very fine, sweeter taste.

Čochtan – tap your beer without a head into the glass. Such a beer has a higher zest, but oxidizes faster.
