Yep - beer has more head retention than soda. The key for fast filling like this is to avoid turbulence that will take the CO2 out of solution and create foam.

For best results, though, the carbonation level of the beer needs to be reduced. The amount of carbonation in American lagers is designed to still have bubbles after the gas loss of a regularly pour. If you keep all that CO2 in the beer, it comes out in the drinker's stomach, causing belches and an unpleasant full feeling.
