Yes, Thursday’s video is a disaster, but moving along YouTube’s beer pouring files, I find that there actually exist helpful tutorials on how to pour beer properly, from both draught tap and bottle.
Here’s a good draught primer, notwithstanding that he does a curious two-step pour for a lager and that, because of his accent, I hear “bee” every time he says “beer.” He does get extra credit, though, for emphasizing the keeping of the spout away from both beer and glass lip.

And here is Magnolia Brewing’s Dave McLean with a pretty good overview on how to pour from the bottle.

I have to wonder that whether someone that needs a video to show them how to pour beer should be drinking beer.
Funny. I guess I really never thought about how to pour. I was always too interested in getting it down my throat.
