It’s become popular for characters in TV and movies to drink craft beer. It always bothers me how drinking craft beer is portrayed. The actors and actresses tend to leave the beer in the bottle and swig it hap hazardously in short bursts. They hold the bottle near the mouth, jerk the bottle up to the mouth, take a quick sip, and jerk it back down very quickly. You can hear the beer being jerked around in the process. In other words, they don’t seem to be enjoying the beer. They drink it more like a college frat boy might.
If there are any movie directors, actors or actresses reading this, here are some tips for a better portrayal of drinking craft beer.
1. pour the beer in a glass.
2. let it breathe.
3. smell it. breathe in through the nose while taking a sip.
4. drink it slowly to savor the flavors.
5. enjoy the beer.
