TRANSCRIPT
The Hefeweizen style from Germany is more effervescent and highly carbonated than others and it will foam over if you don't pour it very slowly and carefully. This is a special way to pour a Hefeweizen. Open the beer and then put the glass over it. Tilt the glass, and the bottle will be upside down, and you slowly pull the beer bottle out of the glass. And then what I always do is give the bottle a few turns so that we can get the yeast, which has fallen to the bottom of the bottle back into suspension. It'll make a much more flavorful beer. Ah.
