Great * howto on how Real Men drink Guinness.

Yeah people take Guinness very seriously. They don't take things that are important seriously though, they are silly people and deserve to only be ignored.

Now that's pretentiousness!


While I was obviously being tongue in cheek, there is an element of truth in what I said.

There's a certain amount of ritual involved in drinking Guinness. Pouring it correctly, waiting for it to settle and so on are a part of Irish (pub) culture. You don't drop in on a surfer, you don't wear shoes in a Japanese house and you don't drink Guinness until it's settled!

Oh, and @bareboards2 the bitterness is part of the taste. It's like eating anchovies and complaining that they're salty!

In case anyone wonders, yes, it's silly, and yes I get the whole "stop making me wait for a drink" gag. I'm probably suffering from a bad case of ex-pat Irishness.

Put a shot of blackberry cordial in the glass before pulling the pint.... 'tis grand, I'll tell ye that fer nuttin'.

HERESY!! You don't mess with Guinness. It is sacred.
I'm about to go all shinyblurry on everyone.
Whoever that unfunny ginger bloke is should learn some respect. It is a privilege to learn how Guinness is made. Much like Bruce Lee and Kung Fu, learning to pour a pint correctly is something that we only just recently started teaching foreigners. Woe betide the heathen who drinks before the pint has settled, and may god/allah/buddah/hitchens have mercy on your soul should you attempt to refill a pint .
Arthur J be praised.
Guinness: serious business.
I have to admit I was genuinely appalled when he did that.

@ChaosEngine, I tried ordering Guinness that way in a small village pub on the Dingle Peninsula, after a young English woman told me it was the only way she could drink it.

The pubowner refused.

"I've got the best Guinness in town. I'll not do that to my Guinness."

(I knew I would get a rise out of someone.... And. It really is good. The head turns the most marvelous shade of purple and the bitterness is softened. I love it that way.)
