Great tip! I think I'll try this experiment tonight!

Whenever I hear Irish people talk about pouring the perfect Guinness I start thinking about Texans talk about BBQ sauce...and then I get really pissed off and have to stop myself from sending the IRA money.

Or, you could try drinking a stout that actually has some flavor...

It comes in pints?! Im getting one.

Isn't the title an oxymoron? Maybe the best you can do with a can, but it certainly isn't a perfect pint

Have you ever actually tried a real pint of Guinness? And I don't mean whatever watered down piss they serve in the rest of the world, I mean a real pint, as in, in Ireland?

...and served by a leprechaun on St Pattys Day!

He won't be able to soon after my minions set Ireland on FIRE! Dammit...why don't green things BURN!?!?

Now I know what to do this weekend. Mmmh. Guinness.

I usually pour this way (fully invert the can and just let it flow), but minus leaving the can in the glass. With a standard pint glass you can safely up-end it and pour until empty. No need to clean the can since it's never submersed.

I'm interested to try it this way now and see if there's any difference. For science.

Can't say that I have, and I'm sure the stuff over in Ireland is top notch, but I'm talking about the cans and bottles we have in Ohio. Personally, I'd rather have a Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, a Left Hand Milk Stout and for the love of god yes please a Founders Breakfast Stout. New Holland Poet, Great Divide Yeti, and on and on and on. I guess my point is that I don't see why people get so worked up over guinness over here in the states when there are so many excellent stouts here that actually have a great flavor and charachter. But, if you like watered down stout from a can, don't let me stop you from enjoying it.

Actually I agree with you. Stout from a can is the devil. But I won't even drink Guinness on tap outside Ireland. It really is a different drink.

What is St. Patty's day?

It's Paddy. All you Americans who say St. Patty's, you're all wrong. Simple.

And before someone says it's Patty because it's short for Patrick, it's not. It's Paddy because it's short for Padraig, which is the original spelling.

Paddy. P A D D Y

Now let's all have a nice pint o' the black stuff!

Interesting! But now, let this American remind you that Guinness is not black, it's a deep shade of red.

From the FAQ on http://www.guinness.com "Look closely. GUINNESS® beer is not actually black but rather dark ruby red because of the way the ingredients are prepared. Some malted barley is roasted, in a similar way to coffee beans, which is what gives GUINNESS® its distinctive color."

Cheers!

No no no, beer chick. Don't show me how to pour beer in a glass, you just do it for me instead.

Try ordering a pint of the red stuff and see what you get. I'm betting it won't be guinness

this "technique" also works for bottle too (not just Guinness)
