    Worked in a Bar in Cork for awhile and as you know a nice looking pint means alot... A pint with the proper head and all... Moved to Wales and Working in a Pub over here and if you put a head on a pint they FREAK... they think its a waste of drink.... They actually get so bad...

    There were court cases fought over this a few years back in the UK leading to the introduction of the "metered" pint, they press a button and it dispenses exactly the right amount of beer in one go to the glass.
    They have a point really.
    When I was working events a few years ago in Hannover we had a nice earner going, it went thus.
    We sold the beer at stands at events as agents of the place we were working.
    We were given a full keg which weighs 55kg as far as I remember.
    We either came back with an empty keg whereby they wanted cash for 50 litres of beer or they weighed the keg and wanted the difference, we had no tills.
    The trick was to put as much foam as you could into the glass and the customer was being charged for air effectively, this would leave anything up to 900 marks overshoot in the till on a busy night, this was then split 2-3-4 ways depending on how many were working the stand.
    Same thing happens at the Oktoberfest by the way if anyone goes working there, it surely is a nice little fiddle.

    It all depends on the drink i recon... Guinness, Weiss Beers etc all of course must have a head, but common lagers such as Bud, Miller, Heineken shouldnt have much of a head. Putting a large head on a pint of lager i've notice seems to happen in more central European countries. In Italy and Spain they seem to put a head on everything. In Germany they do also but i suspect this is because of of the large amount of Weiss beers drank. Alot of Czech lagers also are ment to have a nice froathy head... So in all it really depends on what drink your pouring!
