Message sarro beers 134 º places 6 º 10:25 Wed 8/8/2012 Keeps the bubbles going through the beer longer than what, the initial pour? Won’t the bubbles go longer without the etching?

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 10:27 Wed 8/8/2012 What if the glass was etched EVERYWHERE inside? Would the head erupt all over the place? I’ll have to try it out on some Angel’s Share.

Message reggiedunlop beers 3729 º places 182 º 13:54 Wed 8/8/2012 I have heard this many a time. I agree with most of these posts...the guy is right. But that doesnt mean he isnt a hillbilly necessarily.

Message yespr P beers 55602 º places 43 º 14:14 Wed 8/8/2012 Originally posted by LinusStick Im hearing that etched glass on he bottom of a beer glass keeps the bubbles going through the beer longer. Sounds ridiculous to me but I wanted to see if that’s accurate before I call this guy an idiot. He’s saying it’s science, I’m saying he’s a hillbilly Find a Chimay glass and watch once the initial foam from pouring is gone and you will see how new foam is constantly being generated at the midst of the surface, there is a small Chimay logo edged at the bottom of the glass that creates this. im sure other glasses have the same principle. /Jesper
