For one 20–34 oz imported style draft (beer-based beverage)
Method
Pour and serve
Optional ice
If using ice (common for some tall 'import' servings), add 4–6 oz of fresh ice to the glass. Note: adding ice will dilute the beer and chill it further; traditional draft is served without ice.
Pour beer
Hold the chilled imported lager bottle or can at a 45° angle and begin pouring gently down the side of the glass. When the glass is about two-thirds full, slowly straighten the bottle/can and finish pouring to form a beer head of about 1/2–1 inch (12 mm). Avoid aggressive pouring to limit excessive foam.
Garnish and serve
Squeeze the lime wedge over the beer if desired and drop it into the glass or serve the wedge on the rim. Serve immediately while cold.
