Here is a short video on the best way I have found to poor a beer which is over carbonated.
This is a American Style Dark IPA (Cascadia Dark Ale) which is over a year old now and damn damn tasty.
A side note while you watch the video if you get bored....
I was reading about seaweed (of course I was right?) and it turns out that seaweed improves with age as long as it is stored properly. "becoming sweeter as complex carbohydrates fragment to simple sugars, and meatier as proteins fragment to amino acids." Very interesting. This would apply to many things... Something to think about.
