Hold My Vodka

Russia has lowered its beer foam standards.

Under a new national standard approved by Rosstandart, the minimum beer foam head has been cut from 30 mm to 15 mm — about 1.2 inches to 0.6 inches.

Foam stability was also reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute.

Fun fact: for years, beer under 10% ABV in Russia was treated more like a regular food product than alcohol. Only in the 2010s did beer get stricter alcohol-style regulation.
