    I have a couple of 'modes' of drinking beers, some more casual than others, but when I'm in 'evaluation mode' this is what I tend to do. Works great, too!

    Not a swisher. I've tried, but don't get anything pleasant from the swish.

    I do this as well. Very useful technique when reviewing/judging a brew.

    Is this swish thing mentioned in the "How to Drink Beer" book?

    "Swish" to me sounds like pushing it through your teeth like mouthwash, which I don't think anyone does.
    If you mean that sort of tongue-based rolling it around your mouth thing, yeah I do that. Sometimes breathe through my nose while I do as well, another wine thing.

    Beat me to it by 2 minutes! I do occasionally gargle if I'm not getting acceptable amounts of taste. It does help. This is strictly an "at home" activity.

    Yeah, and I'll occasionally swirl in the glass as well. None of that sucking in air business, though.
