Getting a Head from your Beer in Box

Beer in box does not generally have much or any head when poured directly from the tap, it’s more like Beer Juice if there is such a thing. However, if you’d rather have a head on your beer here are two homemade methods you could try.

The Blender / Whisk

For this method you could use a hand contraption, an electric one or some people have even put their frothy milk machine to good (better?) use.

Pour 3cm of beer into a glass jug. Blend this at high speed for 2-3 seconds. Pour the creamy mixture into a pint glass and top up from your Beer in Box.

The Syringe Method

At last, a use for all those syringes that come with children’s medicines!

Squirt a small amount of beer into the bottom of your pint glass a few times and a head will start to form. Then top up your glass from the Beer in Box.

For each method, it hardly needs saying that some personal experimentation for the perfect head will probably be necessary and time well spent. If anyone has any others that they use then please let us know.

Cheers!
