The Perfect Pour
Pouring the world’s preeminent premium lager requires a technique that enhances and preserves its superb flavors. That is why Heineken always has been and still is served in a very specific way. Known as 'The Heineken Perfect Pour,' the technique delivers a perfect glass of Heineken--one that has a soft, freshly skimmed white head of two fingers’ width, at a temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. A perfect Heineken should have a head that aligns perfectly with the horizontal line of the red star on the glass. Follow these steps:
Select a clean Heineken glass and rinse in cold water. The glass should be rinsed until you feel the glass chilled in your hand (do not place in refrigerator or freezer).
Tilt the glass at a 45 degree angle and open the tap all with one smooth motion. Make sure that the foam is generated within the base of the glass initially and then run the beer under the foam.
Align the head with the star: straighten the glass at 3/4 full. Make sure the tap doesn’t touch the beer and that the bottom of the head should line up with the horizontal line in the Heineken red star on the glass.
Skim it: sit the glass to the side of the tap on the drip tray. Wet your skimmer, hold it at a 45 degree angle and scrape the top of the glass in one single smooth movement. By shaving off the excess foam the head is sealed and carbonation is prevented from leaving the beer. This makes the beer last longer and also seals in the flavor.
The Right Glass: The Heineken Glass Story
In Amsterdam, draught beer is served in smaller 8-ounce galaxy glasses by the round, so friends can enjoy Heineken together. Smaller glasses ensure fresher, colder beer and sharing with friends creates a warm social vibe that the Dutch call 'Gezellig.' Glassware needs to be 'beer clean,' meaning that it is only washed with non-petroleum-based cleaners and washed separately from food dishes that would expose it to any oils or grease. Oil and grease are natural enemies of beer, and will quickly disintegrate the foam head that contributes to the flavor, not to mention the beauty of a perfectly poured draught beer. To prevent beer from being contaminated, stick to the golden rule--use beer glasses for beer only.
Krups, the world wide leader of small appliances and Heineken, the leader in European Premium Imported Beer have partnered together to create the ultimate beer drinking experience at home. The BeerTender system is compatible with the Heineken DraughtKeg system which utilizes an internal carbonator pressure unit. The Heineken DraughtKeg unit releases Co2 every time the tap is opened, ensuring the beer remains fresh for up to 30 days and allows for a crisp quality beer with Heinekens' signature head of foam and trademark 'bite'. The BeerTender silent cooling system provides constant and consistent cooling of the 5L Heineken DraughtKeg and will keep it at the ideal temperature of 41 degrees F. Easy to operate, just run the keg's plastic tube to the BeerTender tap and you're done. It's that simple. Inserting a keg takes less than 15-seconds. The Krups BeerTender has an LCD display panel featuring a volume indicator and temperature indicator. It features a detachable pour handle, detachable draw spout, a removable tray. Beautifully designed, the BeerTender is compatible with the Heineken DraughtKeg and Heineken Premium Light DraughtKeg.
Customer Reviews for: BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B90 Home Beer-Tap System
Rating - Great idea, less than ideal implementation
I was very excited to receive the Beertender as a gift. That feeling soon faded as it was nearly impossible to draw a beer without huge amounts of foam, the system is also not able to maintain the desired temperature and if the mini-keg is not completely cooled in advance it takes days to cool to a temperature that is even drinkable. (45 degrees) I would not recommend this product.
Rating - It's fun
The beertender is fun, but it should explain to you that everytime you
change a "keg", you need a new hose. That was kind of a disappointment,
because I would have ordered extra hoses to save on shipping.
Rating - Its great....when it works.....May have been rushed to market
ALas.....it seems I as many of the early adopters are learning the pain of the KRUPS BEERTENDER.
I was very excited for this product and my girlfriend bought one for me for my birthday in APRIL 2008.
THe product is well designed and works well when it works.
Problem is...I only used it 2x...and the unit stopped cooling.
One thing customers of this item should know is that you really aren't supposed to store a Heineken Draught Keg in it for more than a day (they say this in the manual) and that you are supposed to remove the keg and put it in the fridge if you plan on storing it longer. ... Read More
