Perennial Pour Pour Champ

I took this in February at the Blue Parrot in Ocean Beach, I think it's Green Flash's West Coast IPA. Blue Parrot serves its beer in fat-bottomed, faux pint glasses and its pours typically have too much foam.  I keep coming back because of the craft beer selection, reasonable beer prices and one of the best carne asada burritos in San Diego.

Link Drinks

Here is a imperial pint look-a-like glass that is about 14 oz, or so I am guessing.  If the establishment does not advertise its beers as a pint, is it still a poor pour?  I say yes, unless otherwise noted.  This is Port's Truck Stop Stout at The Linkery in North Park on St. Patrick's day.  The Linkery serves its beers in half-size and full-size glasses.  The picture is full-size glass.

Cutting Corners

I have not forgotten about this blog, just haven't had too many poor pours.  Here is an Allagash White is a mystery sized glass from the 3rd Corner's new taps in Ocean Beach.  It's an elegant glass but how much beer is in it?  I don't know, and at $7 I think that is an important question.
