That's crazy. My husband would have had a full on melt down about that. He actually had a card for measuring the depth of head on his beer lol and he'd get them to top it up if it was too much.
@Picklebobble2 Normally I would agree with you, but if you wait for this beer to settle (which takes a while) it actually contains a normal amount of beer because the microbubbles are so dense. One of the better beers I have had, hands down
The only time that would happen is if there's an issue with the CO2, the keg hit empty, on a new keg (sometimes have to tap a couple), or the keg has a temp variation (such as not being in the cooler long enough).
@DMmeyourtits Ah, a nitro. I don't drink nitros. Probably the closest I would have gotten was AC Golden's Barmen Pils, which required a super slow 7-8 minute pour to produce a creamy 2-finger head. Too fast, would disturb the pour and have too much foam. I loved that beer, and only a few places (that I know of) sold it in the Denver area.
