    I used to do this but then I found that tulips have great head retention as well and i dont feel like im drinking out of something a foot long.

    cheers

    They especially aren't any better after a long day/night of "tasting" other beers. Being really drunk at 2 in the morning is NOT the best time in the world to start drinking from the cellar. No matter how much you love that bro you're hanging out with, what stars are in line, or that it's St. Patty's Day, you aren't going to remember how it tasted!

    I got the spelling from Wikipedia. I never heard of it before but I think I experienced it during a Stout Fest beer tasting once.

    Did you fall down? That was gravity you were experiencing.

    How do you explain the spinning sensation? From Wikipedia: "In physics, the Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame." I remember experiencing some serious deflection.

    If you can possibly afford and schedule it, traveling to the source beats trading every time.

    Protip: For every beer you drink, perform 50 girly crunches at your leisure. It's just enough to keep your gut in check without actually breaking a sweat.

    Protip - when trading, always get references and check with them. Or, if it's a first time trader, then make them ship first. If they scoff or get offended by you asking for references, then don't trade with them.

    I see a lot of "bad trader" threads that could have been avoided with this mentality. Hasn't steered me wrong.

    Honest question-is this somehow related to bed spins? That is something I never again care to experience.

    Honest answer - yes, with a touch of humor, although "the spins" is nothing to laugh about. Having a cool term to describe it is, inaccurate as it may be. Cliff Claven would like it.

    Uh, not to pick nits or anything, but how exactly did I infer that it was something to joke about?

    About twice a year I get carried away and inhale some beer. Protip: Inhaling beer through your nose is not the most satisfying way to enjoy beer.

    Always bring at least two tasting glasses to a bottle share.

    Best advice I ever received :wink:

    My Duvel tulip has good retention, but it depends on the beer. The variables are crazy, but maybe I just don't pour it quite right into the tulip.

    This isn't a joke if we're talking about Struise's waxing.

    4. Always pour bud light into the duvel tulip- it will make you look fancy while saying, I don't take my beer too seriously. Conversely, always drink pliney out of the bottle, it will make you look like a regular joe while while saying, I take my beer seriously.
    5. Always ask for the bartender to give you the glass with the lipstick around the edges.
    6. Always pour with fury to obtain a towering head then yell at your buddy, "Check this out" while you wipe the grease off the side of your 'schnoz' and stir the head down...giggle and exclaim, "How'd ya like them appples!"
