How do you pour a Guinness?

Answer 1

Use a room temperature glass, preferably 20 ounces which is the traditional size. If a chilled glass is used, as soon as it hits room temperature, condensation will occur. This will prevent the Guinness from getting thick and creamy. It also lessens the head size.

Ensure your Guinness is at 6 degrees Celsius or 42.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tilt the glass to a 45-degree angle and fill until three quarters full. Do not place under the tap and walk away. This process should take approximately 119.5 seconds to complete.

Place the glass on the table and let the Guinness settle completely.

Fill the glass to just above the rim once the surge has settled.

Complete your pour with a Shamrock on the head with a toothpick, the Irish symbol of good luck.

Answer 2

Careful enough not to spill any! You gotta do something called the 2 part pour, tilting it at 45dagree angle pour it 2/3rds the way up the pint glass let it sit for a min and be amazed by the millions of nitrogen bubbles the second pour hold the pint straight and pour in the glass letting the foam dome above the top of the glass. i assume this is the same for bottles!
