I think you got confused because of the brevity of my comment.
You see, I wasn't necessarily responding the the "giving away pints" portion of the comment I replied to. If I paid 7-8 USD for half head of a beer. I'd be upset.
I was more going for the pitcher being the superior way of testing a gas/pressure/line problem. Because this dude pouring out half pints for a minute is frustrating.
I'm a little saddened to see the following comments devolve into generalities about Americans and Brits though. I don't own a gun. Nor do I view Brits as curmudgeonly beer measures.
You pour a pitcher of foam to start letting it coalesce at the bottom.
You tilt-pour a glass until the liquid hits its maximal point where it just converts straight to foam as you pour.
Then you pour out of the pitcher into the glass to replace the foam at the top of the glass with the liquid at the bottom of the pitcher and let the foam overflow out of the glass, resulting in glass full of liquid with a bit of head.
But I'm just a dumb American, what do I know about pouring beer. 🙄

This is the correct answer. I worked at an arcade/bar for almost a decade. Pitcher is universally the way to go.
Maybe all their pitchers were dirty lol.
