How to pour a perfect pint of Guinness... From a Can!

[ProjectWidow]

Got this from another forum and thought some people like Arsalon would like this.

Ok. So i've been seeing a lot of you plonkers drinking Guinness. Fair enough. How about we learn how to do it right? Sound good? Ok.

First, only buy the cans. The bottles are shit. It's either can or nothing.

So get yourself a can of Guinness and a clean, dry pint glass. (preferably without the smudges that mine does... Stupid camera flash...)

It'll look like this:



Now. You want to open the can. Hear the hiss? That's the widget releasing the nitrogen into the Guinness... mmmm.... Nitrogen... mmm... Guinness.

Now, instead of fucking it all up and pouring it in like a regular beer, INVERT THE WHOLE CAN into the pint glass.



Let it fill up the area at the bottom of the can, as shown, but don't let it settle.

Then, SLOWLY, rais the can up, keeping it inverted. You want to raise it steadily, keeping it about 1/4" above the Guinness level.



When you're done this, you'll have a poured Guinness, but don't drink it yet! It needs to settle. Sit and watch the magical bubbles, and your Guinness will transform in front of your eyes!



After a few minutes, it'll settle into the perfect pint. Once it does, enjoy!



The best part is, when you fuck it up, you can just drink your mistake, and try again!

That might be one way, but I prefer this method.

3 The barman will fill the glass between 70% and 80% capacity. It will then be put to the side for a few moments to allow it "to settle". Once the brownish liquid has almost turned to a solid black the barman will then fill the rest of the glass. NB: do not under any circumstances take the glass before it is filled. Some virgins seem to think that the settling stage is the final stage and walk away with an unfinished pint. At this point we Irish DO understand the predicament, but I assure you it causes endless mirth as well.

Then some bars do this...
