Why would there be so much foam? If there is, it's a sign that the barman really can't tap at all and shouldn't even be there.

And UK beers aren't really known for their excessive foam either...

That's my experience of drinking in Germany and the Netherlands, frothy beer! Maybe you've got an Ozzy pulling your drinks on campus

Beer should have about 2 fingers width of foam.
Much better than UK beer with no foam at all

I doubt you've ever needed peanuts to give you a thirst.
