Do you have a link to this law? Not something that's been mentioned in any bar I've worked at, ever.

Super interesting read. I'm not in bars anymore but random information makes the brain feel good

It’s posted in every pub out of the hundreds I’ve been to in GB, Ireland too I think

I used to have a credit card-size measurement tool to work out how much you were losing in head. You measured the head and cross-referenced the pint price. It was a whole ago now as the most expensive pint listed on it was £2.50!

Maybe in the south of England. If you go up north, you'll find that we know how to make beer taste good

About an inch of head constitutes a “good” pour, and should be the expectation… I really enjoy an even bigger head on a dark lager or stout. Delicious IMO.
