Hey there! Nice post. I actually attended at great bag-lunch lecture here at the University of Chicago concerning beer bubbles and foam. It was presented by the lead researcher in the foam department from Coors brewing. Learned some fascinating stuff.

Just as a heads up, you’ve got the year wrong in your reference. The Leike paper came out in 2002. {Eur. J. Phys. 23 (2002) 21–26}

I really like how you guys do your blog format, taste first than science…very nerdy. Just thought I should let you know that there was a Nature article published about the mathematics of grain growth in metals and in the abstract the authors mention that it would be similar mathematics when describing the foam on the head of beer. It was published in April 2007 by two guys, MacPherson and Srolovitz.

As a Cornell alum, I am glad to see people are still taking their drinking seriously on the hill.
