Keep Tasting

A freshly-poured craft beer’s aroma and taste can be a lot to take in. Much like a glass of wine from a bottle that was just uncorked, there are a lot of different storage and environmental factors at play. If you don’t think that you are enjoying your drink after your first sip, give it a minute and another try. Aftertastes and letting the beer settle are important parts of getting the most out of the experience.
