The person who poured this is obviously not Irish. It was horrible to watch, which is why you have so many dislikes. Hold the glass at an angle in one hand, the can at an angle in the other. Pour calmly. When the liquid reaches an inch from the top, stop. Let the drink settle to black colour, then finish pouring, slowly, until the white head is barely proud of the rim of the glass. Wait again about a minute until the beer has turned from brown to black before drinking. Don't smash-pour it!
Crack the tab and turn it upside down immediately! This creates turbulence just like pouring from a tap. Before it settles, feel free to take a sip or two, or three. To see it is a wonder on its own, but to taste it is like fulfilling ones lust.
@mikeb1444 You don't turn it upside down because that creates excessive turbulence, which creates large bubbles in the head, which ought to be creamy-smooth and unblemished by bubbles. It also creates a head which is too thick. The head should look like a priest's collar, not a bishop's. See my instructions above. When you pour Guinness, you must take your time. If you can't spare the time to do it properly, drink something else.
@mikeb1444 Yes, I watched your video and pointed out the error in your technique. Your video is proof you're doing it wrongly. Thank you for proving my point, at the cost of proving your ignorance conclusively. Go to Ireland for your holidays and learn. Talk to the bartenders; talk to the people; go to the Guinness visitor's centre in Dublin and ask. Watch the demonstration videos here in Youtube showing how Guinness's Master Brewer teaches how to do it. Be willing to learn.
I love how many of the commenters here think they know so much about Guinness and how to pour it but do not. The 2 step pour is for draught. We educated people cannot stress that more. How this gentlemen poured it in the video is exactly how it's supposed to be.
These are the same type of people who comment "Guinness is a STOUT, not a BEER" on other people's videos and don't realize that a stout is a type of beer...
The absolute best Guinness is straight from the Guinness factory in Dublin, Ireland. The pour of Guinness is often done wrong in the states. Tasting the Guinness that is poured correctly and a Guinness from the factory is heavenly! There is no comparison.
if Guinness is "crap" from a can, please explain to me why the makers of this particular brew put it IN A EFFIN' CAN!!! Oh what's that!?! You know better than the makers!?! Well why didn't you say so! Please excuse me then....
i actually pour it this way too (from cans). the 45 degree thing NEVER works with cans for some reason. just pour it that way, let it settle and it's as good as the draft (well not really, but...what else can you have at home)
btw may the reason for me not getting a big enough head be that there isnt much space left in the glass when i finish pouring? ie when i finish pouring the can in to my glass, its almost full and the head wont rise much above the top of the glass?
Guinness isn't the Same from Cans! It's Just for Lazy people who ca't be bothered to do the Proper 2 part Pour Method. Plus you don't get a full pint in Cans!
I'm enjoying one right now, look up guinness perfect pint pour and you'll get it just right, but that looks really good... and i should now... have a good one.
people love to yell at you about the way you pour/drink guinness. If their claim to fame is their "irishness" they should do some research on Arth Guinness. He wasn't too kind to the irish (or catholics). Out of a can (and yes, for some people this is the only option) this seems to be the best way to pour a guinness. (Bottoms up, right away. No time for the stop and top up). For me in Canada, the can is usually the better option. (Bartenders do an even worse pour and charge an arm and a leg).
actually, the way you pour it has alot to do with how it tastes. also, if you're a competitive drinker (as i am), how you pour it affects how quickly it can be swallowed. pouring straight down will produce larger initial head, dissipating more of the carbonation and thus making it easier to drink.
I pour my Guinness the same way, and I always get a perfect pint. Okay, so it falls slightly short of the draught from a pub, but it comes a VERY close second.
That can shit taste like crap or Tomato Juice crap. Even the bottles that don't have the Tan cap taste different almost lie they are bootleg Guinness or something I should know I am a alcoholic and all I can drink is guinness
so I have no idea why someone posted that there are no widgets in cans in europe outside of Ireland, I've been pretty much everywhere and as far as it's a can of draught Guinness, there's always been a widget in it!
i have no i dea wtf a "spa" is and did i say not that "i've seen" meaning i saw no widget. does that mean there is no widget in ireland? no. that mean the bottles and cans i saw had no widget in them.
Why u drinkin bottles of guinness u freak, whenever you learn to speak proper of guinness cans i will speak proper to you ya arse bandit! So ya sean henry cans in ireland do have the widget so your talkin out of your ma's gee:)
It doesnt really matter what way you pour from a can. Ya see when you pour from the tap in a bar the gas is mixed with the guinness as its pouring so you need to do the 2 part pour but when you have guinness from the can the widget releases all the gas as soon as you open the can and the pint is effectively poured in the can- all your really doing is pouring the pint from 1 vessel to another when you pour from a can- a bit like getting a pint in a pub and pouring it from one glass into another
first of all it should be in a GUINNESS glass....the pour is the glass at a 45 degree angle and the Guinness poured very slow then tilt the glass up as it fills...it takes 119.5 secs to pour a perfect pint
The best pint of Guinness can be had at the Brazen Head pub near Christchurch Place in Dublin. The George in George's St also serves a decent pint of Guinness. It's a gay bar tho. I read somewhere that outside of Ireland, Hong Kong has the best Guinness on Earth
@steve100253 Beamish stout and Murphy's stout are equally good Irish stouts that are not as well known, and are better value because they are quite a bit cheaper than Guinness, but they taste just as good. Guinness is great, too, of course, but it's not in any kind of class on its own. It has excellent rivals. Guinness have always been excellent marketers but you can let your own taste buds convince you how good other stouts are, and save money as well.
From the can delivers the most consistent pour for me. All the pubs around me that serve this fine stout, never clean their taps or lines and in most bars the Guinness is terrible. So a decent Irish pub is the only place to expect the quality. The cans are great otherwise. In fact I will go drink my second one right now and watch the Red Sox lose. F BOSTON. ha.
Guinness was invented one day when making Porter Ale, they burnt the hops and couldnt afford to throw it away, so they sent it to london and sold it cheaper. It became so popular among the poor masses, that when the company was bought, the new owners decided to make it a stock product, which is known as Guinness today.
Just so everyone is clear, the BS about it being a mistake is 100pc B!S!
Sir Arthur's father brewed this concoction for years(on purpose) before his son started doing it for money.
And "when the company was bought" BS! If Guinness EVER sells the brewery they will lose the 5000 year lease with Dublins water dept. Ever notice it says "Arthur Guinness and Company" on all their merch? The family still owns it.
Bartending in irish pub is ...(no comment) Giving 1 beer 3 minute, weiting if bubles gone and ... ppl who wont drink fast and dont wont to weit.. BEER OK
ive worked in irish pubs b4...it seems only at good pubs can you get a decent pour of guinness. it slows down the bartender...the worst part is many people dont know it takes a bit to pour a good guinness. its the same thing as a cook who takes hours to make a good sauce. all good things take time. pour about .5 to .75 of the pint and let it sit for a few minutes till it settles. Then you pour the last part, to allow air to get out. it will never be good at discos or cheap bars
I really don't see the point in Guinness from cans... Or any alcohol from cans for that matter. Lager is acceptable (preferable, in my experience) in glass bottles, stout should only be from the pump.
Finally, when you are topping up the drink, make sure to push back on the pump, rather than pull it to you, and just before it finishes, lift the pint to the nozzle to clear up the head and make it all smooth and pretty :). Don't fill too much, bear in mind that the head expands after you're done. If you fill it so it's pushing over the top of the glass then it will overflow after about thirty second. Take all the way to the top of the glass but not over, it will do the rest itself.
In my experience of pulling a Guinness Pint, I have learned that rather than worry about the angle or the precise amount that is put in before leaving it to settle, you should be more concerned about not placing the glass under the pump until it is running black.
Generally speaking, the quality of the pint is about 30% to do with your pulling technique and the rest is down to the pump and the keg itself.
Okay... Let's sort this out. That Guinness in the video actually looked quite good towards the end (couldn't say for certain because the video cut off too early). That said, there was no skill involved at all.
I used to think Guinness was a great stout until I brewed my own beers. Now it seems rather sickly and watery for a stout... but, then again, I am from America where most beers are total trash. If in a bar I would drink this, but never at home.
In america and Canada the guinness sucks cos they put stuff in it so you don't have to pour it the special way. I was in Toronto and I watcheda bar man at an irish pub BUTCHER a guinness. SO WRONG. tilt the glass pour 80 percent in alet it settle a bit and then top the rest off like a normal beer. Well that's we do here! DUBLIN
Wow, what an idiot. Can't you pour a beer? Furthermore, your supposed to drink the Guinness out of the can, not out of a glass. Hence the Rocket Widget inside the can. Read the damn label.
The comment benief me is right. 45 degree angle until 3/4ths full and let it settle (black again) and top it of with the rest. the good Irish way I seen them.
Thats the perfect way to pour a guinnes from the can (draught can) even look at the label, it shows it to be right, its also a correct guinness glass, the new shape guinness glasses are relatively new, the original ones had straight sides.
To pour a correct guinness, yes even with the can you first must pour the guiness against the side of the pint glass while turning the glass to evenly distribute the head, until it is about 3/4 full. You then must wait for the bubbles to settle and let the head firm up. Then you slowley pour the rest of the Guinness into the pint, careful to not create any more head. Let it settle and enjoy!
I learned just last week!
Even to my own suprise, it actually tastes different
Yeah looks really cool,and is makeing me want some,but really the wrong way to pour it,gateele had it right ,however i'd fill it 7/8 the way then let it stand then pour in the wee last bit
whoa whoa whoa, blasphemy that is not a good pour, supposed to be hold the cup at about a 45 degree angle and pour till about 3/4 full, put it on the table, let it settle and finish it off, and if your really good than you put the clover in the foam
haha actually i didn't, but after i made the post i did, ah well. and i did know about the widget and all, we cut open the cans and took them out to play beirut with, which by the way, don't work as good as ping pong balls. anywho its still good practice and is very important for everyone to know how to do a good guinness pour...now if only i could learn the clover trick
Vertical is fine. I'd put the can closer to the liquid in the glass to stop splashing, stopping bubbles in the head. I started off pouring cans at the 45 degree angle but it's really a load of shite, it doesn't make a difference. I've seen some of the worst home-poured glasses of Guinness done this way with massively frothy heads - not how it should be! But if a barman did it vertical I'd reach over and slap him;the Two Part Pour is paramount for Guinness in bars.
At the time I didn't have any tulip glasses, I do now. Like many have pointed out, there's no need for the two part pour because of the widget. However, when pouring to drink and not just to watch or film, I do tend to pour at a 45 degree angle.
People who say that cans are for lazy people...
I don't know about you, but I don't have Guinness on tap in my house.

I really don't see the point in Guinness from cans... Or any alcohol from cans for that matter. Lager is acceptable (preferable, in my experience) in glass bottles, stout should only be from the pump.

Finally, when you are topping up the drink, make sure to push back on the pump, rather than pull it to you, and just before it finishes, lift the pint to the nozzle to clear up the head and make it all smooth and pretty :). Don't fill too much, bear in mind that the head expands after you're done. If you fill it so it's pushing over the top of the glass then it will overflow after about thirty second. Take all the way to the top of the glass but not over, it will do the rest itself.

In my experience of pulling a Guinness Pint, I have learned that rather than worry about the angle or the precise amount that is put in before leaving it to settle, you should be more concerned about not placing the glass under the pump until it is running black.
Generally speaking, the quality of the pint is about 30% to do with your pulling technique and the rest is down to the pump and the keg itself.

Okay... Let's sort this out. That Guinness in the video actually looked quite good towards the end (couldn't say for certain because the video cut off too early). That said, there was no skill involved at all.

I used to think Guinness was a great stout until I brewed my own beers. Now it seems rather sickly and watery for a stout... but, then again, I am from America where most beers are total trash. If in a bar I would drink this, but never at home.

In america and Canada the guinness sucks cos they put stuff in it so you don't have to pour it the special way. I was in Toronto and I watcheda bar man at an irish pub BUTCHER a guinness. SO WRONG. tilt the glass pour 80 percent in alet it settle a bit and then top the rest off like a normal beer. Well that's we do here! DUBLIN

Wow, what an idiot. Can't you pour a beer? Furthermore, your supposed to drink the Guinness out of the can, not out of a glass. Hence the Rocket Widget inside the can. Read the damn label.

Um, you're wrong about the can. You're supposed to pour the can, and drink straight from the bottle. Different widgets.

Not from a can with a widget. It doesn't matter how it's poured, it'll only ever taste mediocre.

Thats the perfect way to pour a guinnes from the can (draught can) even look at the label, it shows it to be right, its also a correct guinness glass, the new shape guinness glasses are relatively new, the original ones had straight sides.

Why does everyone think it is wrong?
It's not being poured from a tap, and it turns out perfect.
stantonman420 5 years ago
To pour a correct guinness, yes even with the can you first must pour the guiness against the side of the pint glass while turning the glass to evenly distribute the head, until it is about 3/4 full. You then must wait for the bubbles to settle and let the head firm up. Then you slowley pour the rest of the Guinness into the pint, careful to not create any more head. Let it settle and enjoy!
I learned just last week!
Even to my own suprise, it actually tastes different

whoa whoa whoa, blasphemy that is not a good pour, supposed to be hold the cup at about a 45 degree angle and pour till about 3/4 full, put it on the table, let it settle and finish it off, and if your really good than you put the clover in the foam

haha actually i didn't, but after i made the post i did, ah well. and i did know about the widget and all, we cut open the cans and took them out to play beirut with, which by the way, don't work as good as ping pong balls. anywho its still good practice and is very important for everyone to know how to do a good guinness pour...now if only i could learn the clover trick
gsteele1416 5 years ago
If you wanna learn the clover trick you should check out the St. Patrick's section of the Guinnes site. You can practice there!

Widgets are only in cans and thats not a good place for Guinness to come from.
Crosisborg 5 years ago
Vertical is fine. I'd put the can closer to the liquid in the glass to stop splashing, stopping bubbles in the head. I started off pouring cans at the 45 degree angle but it's really a load of shite, it doesn't make a difference. I've seen some of the worst home-poured glasses of Guinness done this way with massively frothy heads - not how it should be! But if a barman did it vertical I'd reach over and slap him;the Two Part Pour is paramount for Guinness in bars.
SeanTracey 5 years ago
At the time I didn't have any tulip glasses, I do now. Like many have pointed out, there's no need for the two part pour because of the widget. However, when pouring to drink and not just to watch or film, I do tend to pour at a 45 degree angle.
