What you can't pour is a monolithic solid. A brick is a monolithic solid--it's a big hunk of baked clay. You can't pour the brick because all the atoms are stuck together too tightly. There are a lot of solids you CAN pour, such as sand, salt, sugar, flour...

When you pour something, you are just letting gravity pull one substance through another. This will only work if the substance being poured is denser than the one it is going through.

You can pour water through air. You can try pouring air through water but the water falls around the air and the air goes to the top.

And you can pour solids. Have you ever poured sand out of a bucket?

where as in solids the atoms are tightly packed so it is harder for it to adopt different shapes or to move freely.
