The Linkery Joins the Nascent Foam Revolution

The Linkery restaurant in San Diego's beer mecca North Park neighborhood has joined The Blind Lady in adding a healthy dose of foam to its pours. Here is a link to The Linkery's announcement on its blog. Here is a quote:
In the intention of now and forever pouring perfect beers, we’re standardizing our pours so that we have room in the glass for bubbles and air. And, in contravention of our plan to get filthy rich Madoff-stizz, we’re lowering our beer prices correspondingly.
I am cautious on this new trend. I am all for establishments like The Linkery and The Blind Lady that add foam on purpose, but am worried about restaurants that are just sloppy or lazy, or even worse cheap, and where too much foam is a sign of a bad pour not beer appreciation.
