Free Pouring:
Free pouring consists of simple counts. They aren't quite a second each, just a little faster.
1/2 OZ = 3 Count
1 OZ = 6 Count
1 1/2 OZ = 9 Count
2 OZ = 12 Count

This makes it if you're in a busy place a little quicker to make drinks as you don't use the jigger anymore to measure.
Beer and Wine
Beer and wine are fermented beverages. Beer is made from fermented grains and wine is made from fermented grapes. Beer contains anywhere from 2 1/2 to 8 percent alcohol while wine contains 7 to 14 percent alcohol.
Bottled beer
Bottled or canned beer has a shelf life of about 6 months if stored properly. Bottled beer can not be brought to room temperature after being cooled once. This causes it to loose flavor. If it is purchased cool, it must remain cool until use. Bottled beer must be stored in order not to be exposed to direct lighting. Dark bottles protect it from light so that the
flavor stays fresh.

Still wines are divided into 3 groups

White- wine which is light in color should always be stored between
45 and 55 degrees.

Red- these wines should always be served at room temperature. This wine can be suggested when eating red meat.

Rose-
these wines are very similar to white wines and should be stored the same. Rose wine is more of a pink or slight red color.

Draft Beer
Draft beer is made at a cool temperature and is to be kept cool through it's span. If at any time it is brought to room temperature it will foam and ruin. Draft beer has a shelf life of only 30 days.
How to pour:
  • Hold the glass at 45 degree angle about an inch below the tap and open the tap all the way.
  • When it is about half full, straighten the glass upright and let the beer pour right down the middle, still keep the tap wide open
  • When the head has risen a little higher than the rim of the class close the tap
