Nope if poured at a certain angle from the bottle you can reduce the frothage ( if there's such a word )
Its all science
Step 1 is easy - find a Guinness-branded glass. This may be the most important step as the harp logo actually serves as a guideline for many of the following steps. Step 2 says that the glass should be held at a 45 degree angle, and the draught Guinness should be poured by pulling the tap forwards and aiming the flow at the inside of the glass where the harp logo is. By pulling the tap forwards, the Guinness is being poured with some force. As it is forced out of the tap, and on contact with the glass, the bubbles begin to form. By using the maximum force of the tap, the gases in the liquid are agitated and form bubbles, while the 45 degree angle allows small bubbles to form, which give rise to a smoother and creamier head, rather than the larger, glassier bubbles that could form from a more turbulent landing.
I'm pouring from a bottle btw -Almost the same principle
