A study has been made of the measurement of the surface tension of beer by means of a modification of the drop‐weight method using a micrometer syringe. It is confirmed that there is an apparent reduction in surface tension with increase in the time taken for an observation, and this factor is considered in relation to the details of the technique employed.
