I mean, what's in your glass before you pour the beer?
There are several factors which can affect you beer drinking experience before that beer is poured.
Fats and oils can diminish the head of your beer the same way it affects meringue. Make sure the glass is clean.
Sanitizers are commonly used in glass washing. Because the glass is allowed to air dry with the sanitizer, phenols from the sanitizer remain in the glass and affect aroma.
Some places are sensitive to this and will rinse the glass to push these out.
Chilling the glass is a common practice. This minimizes flavor of the beer you are trying to enjoy. Gases do not release and this also minimizes the effect it would other wise have in carrying any aromas.
Not all beers are served with justice when served in a chilled glass.
While beer may be stored at 40 degrees to slow down any degradation that may occur, this is not the temperature you want to be drinking your beer at any more than you would want to enjoy a glass of wine straight out of a refrigerator.
I am of the opinion that the temperature that a beer was fermented at should be the beer that it should be served at. Which is why it is common to serve beers like Bud or Coors at 40 degrees because they are lagered close to that temperature.
Feel free to ask that your beer glass be rinsed before serving this will remove any chill on the glass as well as any phenols from the sanitizer.
