GUINNESS From the Tap:
The perfect pint of Guinness is served using the 'two-part' pour:
- Select a clean, dry glass - hold the glass at 45 degrees under the spout.
- Pull the handle slowly towards you and allow the beer to flow smoothly down the side of the glass (note: do not submerge the spout in the beer).
- As the glass fills, straighten the glass - fill glass until full.
- Stand the glass on the counter and allow the gas to surge through the beer.
- To create the legendary head, push the handle backward slightly (this is known as "topping off"). The head should rise just proud of the rim.
GUINNESS® Draught in Cans or Bottles:
- Make sure your GUINNESS Draught can or bottle has been chilled for at least 3 hours - preferably at 42.8 degrees.
- Then open, activating the widget in the process.
- Pour the whole can into a tilted glass in one smooth action, straightening the glass as it fills.
A Widget is a plastic moulded device that sits on the top of the contents of each can of GUINNESS® Draught. When the can is opened, a small amount of beer and nitrogen, trapped in the widget, is forced out through the beer, which creates the famous creamy head that you find on a pint of GUINNESS® Draught served in a pub. The widget gives GUINNESS® Draught in cans the taste and texture of a pub-poured pint at home.
Half and Half: the ever-popular Half and Half is a lovely 50/50 mix of Guinness and Harp lager.
Black and Tan: A perennial pub favourite, the Black and Tan mixes Guinness with Bass Ale for a rich, smooth and mellow drink.
The Black Velvet: The Black Velvet is a 50/50 mix of Guinness and Champagne.
Fill a glass halfway with the Harp, Bass, or Champagne Next, pour the Guinness and watch how it floats on top
to create a colorfullayer over the golden lager.
