Are you planning on attending 'Binghamton On Tap'? Before you go, there are a few things you should know about beer tasting. In order to truly appreciate a brew, there's a certain method to sampling. Check out these helpful hints before you get your beer on.The best way to sample each beer is to:

- take a sip of water and a handful of crackers in between each beer to find out which one you prefer the best

-Avoid sampling after eating spicy foods

- Take beer out of fridge for about 30 minutes prior to drinking

- For the perfect foam of beer: hold the glass at a 45° angle and pour slowly down the side of the glass until the glass is half full. Next, pour right down the middle, raising the bottle effortlessly

-Finally, allow the beer to roll around your entire tongue
