While enjoying a beer in a bar and restaurant is a popular pastime, many people make mistakes when drinking it, taking away from the experience, fun, and taste. Below are a few tips for drinking this beverage the right way while getting more out of every sip.

A Guide to Drinking Beer

1. Don’t Drink It Ice-Cold

Opt for beers that are just above room temperature over those served ice-cold in frosted mugs. Cold beer may be refreshing on a scorching day, but it loses a lot of its flavor. If you are served a cold one, let it sit for a few minutes. The aromas will intensify as it warms.

2. Eat Something

barAsk for food when you drink beer, as snacks will help you avoid serious intoxication and subsequent hangovers. Beer complements a number of foods, including oysters, cheeses, and pizza. 

3. Avoid Leaving Beer in the Sun

Don’t warm your beer by setting it in the sun, as UV rays can result in skunked brews, which smell and taste unpleasant. While your beer isn’t going to skunk from a few minutes in the sun, remember this tip whenever you get a takeout beer from a bar or drink one on the beach.

4. Keep the Sips Small

Enjoy smaller sips of your favorite brew to get the most flavor. Chugging beer may be a beloved activity for some, but it means eliminating some of the taste. In particular, craft beers are known for having a variety of flavors, so always take small sips.

5. Remember to Hydrate

Order water with your beer to stay hydrated. Beer may contain more water than other forms of alcohol, but it still dehydrates you, leading to a hangover. H20 dilutes beer, so its effects won’t hit you as quickly or hard. After finishing a bottle, drink at least one cup before moving on to the next one.
