HOW TO POUR THE PERFECT PINT OF GUINNESS

4/30/2014

2 Comments

 

What I learned in Guinness Academy

Part One:
  1. Hold a Guinness pint glass under the tap at a 45-degree angle, with the Guinness logo facing away from you
  2. Pull the handle of the tap towards you so that the beer aims directly for the image of the harp on the Guinness logo.
  3. As the beer reaches the word “Guinness” on the glass, start straightening the glass and then stop the tap when the beer reaches the harp.
  4. Let the beer sit for two minutes to settle
Part Two:
  1. Holding the glass straight, push the tap forward to top off the glass until there is a small foamy head just over the top of the glass – but not enough to drip down the sides
  2. Drink!
TIP:  For those of us who don’t have access to getting behind a bar and pouring the perfect pint, you can still get the right pour from a can::  To pour the perfect pint from a can of Guinness, open the can and place the pint glass on top.  Then, flip upside down and slowly remove the can as the beer fills the glass
