How it Works

The science behind beer layering relies on relative density. A heavier beer (usually a pale ale or lager) is poured first, followed by a lighter beer (traditionally a stout like Guinness). The layering tool acts as a flow-control device; as you pour the second beer through the tool, it slows the velocity and spreads the liquid gently over the surface of the first beer, preventing them from mixing.

The Design

• The Tool: Made from high-quality stainless steel, the tool features a specifically designed "rain" head that breaks the fall of the liquid. It sits securely on the rim of the included glass, ensuring a stable, hands-free pour.

• The Glass: The set includes a custom-shaped 568ml (20oz) pint glass. Its flared shape is not just for aesthetics—it is designed to help maintain the separation of the layers and provide the perfect grip while you enjoy your creation.

Usage Instructions

1. The Base: Fill the glass halfway with your heavier, chilled beer (e.g., a lager).

2. The Setup: Place the layering tool on top of the glass.

3. The Slow Pour: Very slowly pour the lighter beer (e.g., a stout) into the center of the tool. The tool will disperse the beer into a gentle "rain," allowing it to float on top of the base layer.

4. The Result: Lift the tool to reveal a crisp, clean line between the two distinct brews.
