What should you do when a bit of beer foam adheres to the side of the glass after each sip giving a lace-like effect?

  1. continue to prepare glassware in exactly the same way

  2. immerse glasses longer in the sanitize solution

  3. rinse glasses more carefully

  4. use more soap to wash glasses

The correct answer is: continue to prepare glassware in exactly the same way

Explanation A is the correct answer because continuing to prepare the glassware in the same way will allow for consistent results of the lacing effect. Option B, immersing glasses longer in the sanitize solution, could potentially leave a residue on the glass which could affect the taste of the beer. Option C, rinsing glasses more carefully, could actually remove the foam and affect the overall taste and texture of the beer. Option D, using more soap to wash glasses, could also leave a residue and affect the taste of the beer. Therefore, the best option is to continue preparing the glassware in the same way to maintain the desired lacing effect.
