Thank you for this. Up until i watched your video ive been biting a hole in the bottom of my cans and drinking through that. I never knew how to open and pour a can until now. Thank you so much
@@Johnny-rn5ll probably rural areas and Villagers will have Irish accent still....old stuff and authentic stuff , one will always find in Rural areas and Villages...
@@mukulanand7532 yeah I was suspecting that Americanisms creeping in in places other than Dublin because its not only Ireland that has that problem, but Dublin is different anyway if you know what I mean..(american influence is wide reaching)
Holy smokes. I’ve been pouring Guinness from a can correctly all my life. I just thought mine was the fastest way to get to drink it….I’m such a lucky fool.
Not just ANY Guinness can. The "draft" cans. The ones with the nitrogen widget at the bottom (says Draft on the can and you can hear it rattle around after you pour). Beware. They sell non-draft cans and bottles as well that have much larger bubbles (more like soda's bubbles) that you prob would want to pour as you would other normal beers as the head would be huge and overflowing poured this way.
Pop the can, place the pint glass on top of the can, turn the whole lot upside down (so glass sits on table). Lift up can when drink level stops moving. Prior step - Clean the can first ;)
Pour speed is good but you need to pour where the harp would be - the upper third of the glass. Pouring towards the bottom will lead to a stronger after taste.
Perfect way is to pull the ring pull vertical then tip the can into the standing glass so the ring pull rests on the far side (with hole below) and the can rests on the near side of the glass. you get perfect flow rate against the side of the glass.
No you’re wrong! Your still meant to pour it just up to the harp on the glass and still let it settle down for the specific time then pour the rest always straight upside down as u done. 👍 🍻
Basically what I do exactly what he does. But the very end dip the top of the can onto the head. When you pull it away, leave it for three minutes or so and there will be no bubbles on top of the foam. You’re welcome.
This is what guiness say.... When pouring yourself a can of Guinness Draught at home, we’re very much of the mindset - Your Guinness, Your Way! Whether you have a preferred method of pouring or a favourite glass you hide at the back of the cupboard, follow your own style and enjoy it your way. In friend groups the world over, there’s been much debate around whether a can of Guinness Draught should be poured at a 45-degree angle or using the “hard pour” method. With both methods, all you need to do is follow four simple steps. You pull, you pour, it settles, and you enjoy! However, it’s the method of pouring that’s up for interpretation.
I agree for the most part, but try pouring it so you pouring from the side of the mouth opening and not the normal pouring. That way you have more air flow and no small bubbles on the head.
That noise you hear on opening is the first bit of nitrogen getting activated to due the change in pressure. I’d wait a second or two for that noise to finish but then just get it in the glass. The widget does most of its work as the liquid flows past it.
Not a complaint but with the stout I have this approach successfully poured 2/3 head 😂. Well at least now I know I can pour a head so I’ll just go a bit easier next time
I never buy cans of any type of guinness...not since I came across bottles of Guinness west indies porter or Guinness foreign extra....what a difference. Just wish they served either of the 2 in pubs. Makes normal guinness tast like water compared to these 2. The Porter is 6% alc and Foreign eztra 7.5% alc.
Except you don't want all that air added into it. When you pour one from the tap, you have to have the nozel fairly close to keep that uniform head on the top. Too far and you end up with air bubbles on the top instead of smooth. When you glug it, same thing. So tip it just enough that it's pouring in, but not so much that it's glugging like that.
And this is wrong according to Guinness. You don't just let it pour out. Tilt the glass and let it hit the side. Use the harp as target at first if that is easier for you. then pour it all out while tilting the glass back upright.
Do you recommend chilling the glass? I always chill the glass in the fridge and the can/bottle in the freezer for 20 minutes so there’s no chance of it freezing and losing its texture
Great question and it’s not something I’ve experimented with yet. I think if you were trying to replicate the Guinness Extra Cold experience it’d be certainly worth a go - I’ll give it a try! Cheers 🍻
I always pour my man's beer for him so not only am I here studying how to do it perfectly but his roommate watched me do it one time and went off about how horribly wrong I did it...turns out I was doing it correctly the whole time and he's just a dumbass😂
Ultimately down to personal preference since Guinness themselves on tap offer regular and Extra Cold variants - the colder you get it the more head and better conditioning you'll likely see, but at the expensive of some flavour as with any beer. Cheers!
An American with Irish blood, 2 generations removed who had the fortune of being able to attend an event at the Guinness Storejouse in Dublin and have the Skybar for 3 hours… and be one of the few drinking Guinness… it was an international meeting for Astra Zeneca and a lot of Swedish and French were there and were drinking wine! The horror! I had over a dozen perfectly poured pints in the skybar then a few more in the dining hall! A highlight of my life. We have the cans here and I pot a bit diffrent. U they come out great! Nothing like the magic might at the store house… Where is the best pint in Dublin these days?
Funnily enough you're not the only person I've heard from having been to the Skybar with AZ! Legend has it John Kavanagh’s The Gravediggers pub has the finest around these days but I've not been to Dublin for 10 years sadly!
In a pub scenario that's probably correct but I just wait until the cascading effect finishes in the glass and then leave it another 30 seconds, so it's probably between 1-2 minutes.
the guiness US youtube channel shows how to pour it and they do it absolutely different, some pour it upside down completely, some top it off later and some say pub is best, some say nitrosurge is best, at this point it just sounds like do whatever 😂
It's primarily to do with carbonation or nitrogen levels (depending how it's been conditioned) in the liquid. A pour that is too slow or careful can result in not enough of any gasses being removed and result in something that looks flat but tastes overlay carbonated and fizzy. And on the reverse, an overly aggressive pour can result in a foamy mess in the glass, and not enough carbonation on the tongue. This in turn all affects how other flavours in the beer can be interpreted. Think of it as similar to drinking carbonated soft drives - a freshly opened can may be too fizzy, meanwhile one that has been left out is too flat. It's just about trying to find the optimum delivery for the experience.
No no no ,,take it from an Irish man Open the can ,put the can into bottom of glass then as it's pouring out slowly lift the can out of the glass keeping the can slightly above the liquid line till it all comes out
Okay bro so I tried this one time and I hated the taste because it didn’t have the same carbonation as a regular beer. Is it supposed to be like that? Or did I pour it wrong or something?
Guinness Draught isn't carbonated in the regular way - they use nitrogen to make it creamy and smooth rather than bubbly as normal CO2 carbonation - so your experience is normal. That said, I bad pour can make it taste poor and more metallic than it should be.
It's just still not a full pint! Guinness are missing a trick here: Either provide a glass to accommodate the contents to the brim so it looks full or increase the can size to fill a pint glass to the brim.
your execution was wrong! The balance of body is way off. Head should round up to the top and have a waterfall effect instead of bubbling up..... not even close
Ooooooooooooooooh. So i've been pouring it correctly my whole life... I thought it was going to be, "place your glass on the patio, and pour from the bedroom window... Preferably with a Westerly breeze..."
Brilliant tutorial! Ive got four cans in the fridge but ive been to scared to drink them. Thanks for teaching the world how to open a can and pour it into a glass.
