Tell you what, all you elitist pores:
If someone puts a Guinness in front of you and you start complaining how it was poured, you're definitely doing it wrong..

I believe the head guy at Guinness would want you to buy his damn beer and not care much what you do with it.Resident Asshole wrote:Eh, to each their own. The head guy who makes Guinness would disagree.fiyah wrote:Tell you what, all you elitist pores:

Re: THE PERFECT GUINNESS, WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO MAKE IT.
This reminds me of a story. The wife and I were traipsing through Europe (even did the Guinness brewery in Dublin!) but this particular event was in Prague. We were on a daylong walking tour, but we were braking for lunch in the square in the center of town. There were lots of food vendors, so my wife and I got some pork and potatoes and few tallboys of some Czech lager (the name escapes me). One of the other Americans on our tour, some 18-year-old sorority slut, remarked "I can't believe you'd come all the way to Prague to drink beer from a can."
I laughed her off, because screaming at her was probably not a good idea. But here's what I thought: Bitch, I drink more beer in week than you probably will in your fucking life. I'm not an alcohol tourist, I'm not a "well we're in France so let's try some wine" type drinker. I'm a "it's lunch, what's available to drink" kinda drinker. I've paid my dues at bars, taverns, pubs, clubs, ballgames and parties, so I'm pretty sure I can drink whatever the fuck I please without being judged by an 18-year-old girl.
This is all to say, at a certain point, you gotta stop being precious and delicate with what you drink. You've had it the "right" way, you've had it every other way and you know, at the end of the day, it doesn't make that much of difference. It's not like an "improperly" poured Guinness tastes THAT different from a "properly" poured one.
Belgian brewers like to bray that their stuff should only be consumed from a chalice, well I've had it that way but also in a red Solo cup. You know what? PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.

Re: THE PERFECT GUINNESS, WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO MAKE IT.
A musician buddy of mine was in England once (@early '80s) and got taken out to a London pub by a woman from his record company. As he happily drank his Guinness, he incredulously asked his hostess, who was sipping on a bottle of Bud, "With all the great beer in England, why would you drink Budweiser?" "I only drink imported beer, luv", she replied.treetop wrote:that's a good story. the kind we should read to our kids and dogs at bedtime to remind them that all is right in the world.Jiggers McCoy wrote:This reminds me of a story.

Re: THE PERFECT GUINNESS, WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO MAKE IT.
I love how much people embrace the double pour, which is essentially a marketing gimmick. Whenever they started serving from a pressurised keg rather than with a beer engine, the pint looked different, so they fiddled around with different gas mixes to get the foamy surge business, and choreographed the double pour. The pour doesn't affect the taste, only the freshness does, the pour only effects the way it looks. Refuse to bow down to the hipsterish ways and just pour it like any other goddamned beer
