Got a question for all the homebrew folks out there!
We had my sister-in-law's couples shower at our house a few weeks ago, and left over in our fridge waaaay in the back was one last Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. Found it in the fridge totally on accident - must've been my lucky day cause I thought they were all gone. Just an awesome brew if you can find them anywhere - here's a link:

So anyway, the night of the party I drank three or four of them, but it was dark and I didn't really look at it too closely. Well today I picked the bottle out of the fridge where it was on it's side for about four weeks behind one of the pull-out trays. When I picked it up I noticed what was probably about a quarter teaspoon of sediment that had settled out.
I'm not used to drinking too many beers where sediment's an issue, but I was wondering if I should've left the sediment alone before pouring, or should I have swirled the beer around to re-mix the sediment before drinking?
BTW, I swirled & drank it right out of the bottle. It was still damn fine, but I'm not exactly a discriminating beer drinker and don't know what was the correct thing to do here.
Any hints or tips will be greatly educational and appreciated
