I work at a beer distribution company in Wisconsin and this piece of shit lasted about a week before it stopped selling. It was a waste of a damn good beer!
the same thing happens when you pour a guinness through the nozzle. I bet if you get a pint of draught and a pint of surged guinness you won't be able to tell the difference. Do your research before being a fool. It's simple physics. Or is it just an Irish-Guinness thing "OMG, the beer goes on an electric device making the foam!?!?!?!? Fucking disgraceful!!!!!!!!!" That's what your ancestors would say back in the 16th century
I am a bartender and I always stick to classic ways of the drinks, but I must admit, after doin some research, those surgers are pretty fuckin cool. That having been said.. I always serve my Guinness from the tap with a nice 2 part pour and do my best not let customers know that I have it in a can as well.
The surger was originally designed for smaller bars/pubs that can't accommodate a full tap system and still want a quality Guinness. Not to mention most places don't clean and maintain their tap lines regularly which always effects the beer. I have a surger from a pub that closed down and it really is a nice alternative to a full keg system. It produces a great tasting pint. I realize it's not traditional but if you can get past the nostalgia of the tap you'd be happy with the actual beer.

Dublin has to be the most boring and morbid town in the world and people who live there just dont know life or there own self worth its like a prison because almost every bar and food store has arrogant polish security gaurds on them and everyone judges you for simple things like the way you dress act behave walk and talk its SICK get the fuck out and live your life . You cannot express your true self in Dublin because the culture is so extremely different to everywhere.
I hate it when the barmaids pour it like that. I told her to just dump it in and she said no you dont pour it like that. I said "give me the can and I'll do it myself" and she wouldnt . It was too cold too .Not only that, they didnt even have a pint glass to pour it in. Im an Aussie and when its on tap, not too cold and youve got someone that knows how to pour it, its lovely. Takes me back to when I was in Ireland.......
If Guinness makes this specifically for use with the can, then what is so wrong with it? I have had many can- and keg-poured Guinness, and really it's hard to tell the difference. We're not talking about cheap ale here, which does taste like crap from a can; we're talking about Guinness- they have their product down to a science. I think they know what they're doing more than you do.
You have to sell like 200 pints of Guinness every 5-6 days? (iirc) to be able to get it on the tap (forgot the specific reason), if you do not, the surger and cans is only alternative if you want Guinness at all
Actually as pointed out, when drinking Guinness from a can its supposed to be all done in one pour as she did, its only when its on tap that you let it settle and then top it off. Trust me I was a barman in Limerick for a long time, (not that we served Guinness in a can)
YOUR ALL RETARDED. that's how u pour it from the can, she even has that guinness plate that settles can guinness best, sends vibration waves thru the beer. YOUR ALL STUPID. All nitro canned beers r to be poured in one motion. End of story. Think I'm full of shit?? Do some real reasearch. I don't care how you pour yours, just stop hating on ppl pouring it right, SHE HAD THE GOD DAMN GUINNESS PAD. do you even know what that is?!?!?!?!?!?
Any pub that sells guinness in australia without irish people behind the bar wreck it. Rarely get a 2 stage pour. If ye want a good pint you need to get out of that gay bar
@EvillE423 thanks for the comment!!!- if you read the info on the side i never complained about the barmaid. the fucking disgraceful is about the product itself i was a little diappointted.
i've heard of this is it some sort of device that emits ultra sound or something technial? it purpose was for gigs and match days where 30,000 people want a guniness at the same time, speeds things up i heard, shame on them using the can first tho. but guinness abroad is always rubbish anyway,
@latchie The surger was designed for places that wouldnt sell eneugh guinness to require the expensive pump, extra coolers etc but would serve just eneugh to make it profitable. The suger allows you to spend less on cans but still give the customer something that actually looks like a draught pint. Tastes crappy looks crappy. But made whoever designed it alot of money!
@latchie Essentially, the purpose behind it is for places that can't afford the kegs, cooling system, and everything else to have guinness, just buy the cans and the surger to have guinness to a similar quality on a smaller scale. This way they could just use can's.
Probably be better for home use though. Allways a shame to see any can's at a bar though. Only time I ever bought a canned guinness was because I couldn't be bothered to stick around through the awful service once.
well what did u learn !? u think a clueless big tite'd blond at a dance club is going to pour u a great Guinness ? ha AHAH .. go to a good irish pub next time
you're funny, you do know this was developed by the brewery of Arthur Guinness right? I agree there is a very stern and important tradition that surrounds the pouring of the good stuff, however you can't get that angry when what they're trying to do is recreate draft Guinness for people who don't have that option.
I will always pour my pint the way it was meant to be poured but i'm not going to get angry when those who produce my favorite drink decide to try it a little different.
The Guiness in the Surger can is EXACTLY THE SAME as what is in a barrel. When Guiness is in the barrel, it is COMPLETELY FLAT. As it is in the Surger cans. The Surger unit that they put the glass on, send sound waves through the beer which makes the gas release in the gas, EXACTLY AS IT WOULD THE OLD FASHIONED WAY! The end result is IDENTICAL to an old Guiness. You get the VERY SAME GUINESS, in less time. So busy clubs can serve Guiness without keeping you waiting.
Are those even surger cans? They look like regular cans of guinness I think you got ripped off dude. The bar probley took cheaper cans of guinnes Draught passed them off as surger cans and made you pay the higher surger price.
@BolterFireMan No, it's the surger can for sure. It has the information lining the bottom of the can that you can see in the video. I have a surger, and while I wouldn't flat out call it a "fucking disgrace," it still doesn't taste like a proper pint. Which is insane given the overall amount of money you have to spend when it comes to the thing. I still use it during the holidays or sometimes in smaller parties with friends.
From what i've heard you should open the can QUICKLY and pour the ENTIRE content into the glas AMMEDIATELY after opening. On the can it says ''Pour the entire content ammediately after opening.'' If you wait, like person in this video, you'll more or less ruin your glas of guinness.
pouring 3/4, waiting until it settle, pouring agian etc. shouldnt be done if you use cans
I think pouring a good pint of a guinness can is like a matter of chance. Sometimes it makes a lot of foam, and sometimes it doesnt make any foam. Yesterday i poured one and it looked like a coke. what a crap. maybe it was too cold
I'm no scientist, but using the can without the "widget" is not a good idea. And at a bar? Surely there's taps. Especially since Guiness takes time and care to "Bring it to life!"
@riotinthecity, the cans dont have a widget for a reason... normal cans have widgets to give it a head, the cans used with a surger dont have a wigdet because theres just enough CO2 dissolved in it to form a head when the surger is turned on. you wouldnt use the suger cans without the surger otherwise it would be flat...
plus, if its a busy bar, the last thing you wanna be doing is stand waiting for a pint to settle for ages when you can pour one from a can and get the same result.
mate, with the surger cans it is IMPOSSIBLE to pour a Guiness properly... Guiness should come out of a tap, but if it can't come out of a tap then with the surger cans and machine is the next best way
as you noticed, she is using a surger, meaning she has to pour the beer in a 1-part pour (with no head) and then she uses the surger to produce the perfect head. Guiness spent millions of dollars in producing the surger machines and the special guiness surger cans which contain a little hydrogen in them. The machine then sends sound waves which react with the hydrogen to create a perfect head. Don't hate the barmaid for doing her job correctly, hate the venue for not having Guiness on tap!
Does nobody realize that it's a "surger"? If she had poured *that* can "properly", it would not have come out right at all. The video begins with a pint that was most certainly poured the same way and put through the surger yet it looks just fine. Guinness designed it for convenience and they certainly know how to treat their own beer better than any ignorant purists. Try it, it tastes fine... the only thing is that you can't draw a shamrock for the customers.
yeah, i was just in Ireland about 3 weeks ago. Guinness is lovely stuff. as soon as i got home i bought 3 cases of Guinness draught and even with the cans, you have to pour it right... learn how to pour a beer bitch!
They should do the same thing with a can as they do with the pump; pour two thirds, leave for 2 mins, top up, leave for 1 min then serve as a Guinness SHOULD be.
Disgrace is right. Better than "Opium" in edinburgh though, proper guinness taps, or so we thought. One part pour, came out of the tap settled, in a budweiser glass no less...
hahaha!!i've been there and opium was brilliant!feck the guinness you can get any spirit and mixer for a pound!went in on our second night in opium and ordered 20 jd and cokes.anyway the place is a complete grunger bar-why would ye expect anythin more-its under a bridge for fecks sake!!
in tassie (which is in Australia) they give you a glass, a can. and you pour your own Guinness (which is great) i have had it on tap (which is better) but the guy screwed up the pour, shame really.
oh well, funny video. "it's going up on fucking youtube" lol
This is a warning: If there's hot women behind the bar with those too-tight t-shirts, and dance music drowning out your conversation, the owner of the place cares more about the money than your opinion on how to pour beer.
It's a trade off; if you want eye candy, you get bad beer. You want a decent beer, it's a small brew pub without all the tiny skirts.
the bitch that did that should fucking die there are 2 things that make me want to kill someone 1) is someone FUCKING UP GUINNESS i beat the crap out of a bartender for fucking up my Guinness. and number 2 is, racist
ya the surger only ones only get a good head on them if u put them on a surger btw dont but other beer on them makes big fountains but is great fun to put a budweiser on it and tell ur friend its broken and have him turn it on to make a big beer fountain lols u should try it
it doesn't have the nitrous cone in the can, that's the only difference.....i tried putting a regular coors light on it and it makes a volcano effect!!
Agree that it's disgraceful, but it's not the bartenders fault. It's the Surger System that GUINNESS themselves implemented to sell more product. Typically found in busier pubs/nightclub environments such as the one in the video.
I mean if you want a proper guinness, you've got to go to a proper pub, like anywhere. You want proper wine, you have to go to a proper bar, and not a nightclub etc.
I resent the shame on you Australia comment, what about shame on Guinness for creating such a system?
Ironically the surger system and the cans are all developed by Guinness...and thats how you're supposed to pour it when you use the surger system...But then again..that's why Guinness stopped making the shitty surger system..
no the surger system cans are not made to drink by themself. Basically...you buy that black platform..and a SPECIAL can of Guinness MARKED "Surger System". You pour it out JUST like how she did (it will not have the infamous guinness effect)
You hit the button and it sends a pulse into the glass, popping the bubbles. Look for yourself, youtube "Guinness Surger" and "Stella Surger" it's quite hilarious what happens when you use non Guinness on the surger ;)
the draught in cans is different to the surger. Theres no widget in the surger cans. All the nitrogen is dissolved in the liquid, the surger just agitates it enough for the nitrogen to rise anf form the creamy head. You cant get the draught in bottles anymore. ive looked everywhere. :(
Can: Pour straight down the center, that's what the widget's for, let it sit.
Bottle: Enjoy it straight from the bottle.
Tap: Pour about 3 quarters down the side, don't let the tap touch the glass. Straighten the glass upright and finish the pour down the center, allow to sit until that half-quarter inch of head stabilizes.
Luckily I'm working in Canada, it seems people here know how to pour Guinness. They dont sell surgers, only canned regular/extra stout and the bottle. About the import stuff, the stuff here (kegs and cans alike) are all brewed in Canada ..I don't suppose I can judge seeing as I haven't tasted a pint in Ireland..but I'll taste one before I die. But I read up on Guinness's history - they've been setting up breweries all around the world. Wouldn't that cut back the need for extreme preservatives?
It is a disgrace that they dont have a Guinness tap so people can have Guinness the right way from a keg. When you people start making your own beer you will know the difference between the way it should be and the wrong way.
Also the nitrogen isnt suppose to be in the Guinness already as it is in canned and bottled Guinness from the widget. It is mixed in with the Guinness when poured from a keg. Without the nitrogen you cant have Guinness draught. So Guinness is different in a can than ontap
The Guinness was ruin but by the surger not the pour. Guinness in a can n bottle are already made to be poured. When Guinness is served from a keg is when you need the two step pour since it isnt already made to be pour for you to drink. If anyone here really knew about Guinness u would know what i say is true. Bash me if you want but i know what im talking about.
I would spit in her face for insulting me with that!! a pint of guinness cant be right unless its poured by a fat old bar tender somewher in Ireland...its an art...dont attempt it unless you can do it right!!
i hope you didn't drink that or in case it wasn't for you you told the poor guy who received the insult and that guinnes brewery in Dublin was inform and the pub or whatever that place is owner let known!!!
Don't think so.....and even if you could...there is a special type of Guinness that you would need to buy....so I think it's just a waste anyway....a surger is for the people who don't want to take the time to appreciate a true Guinness pour
there are enough irish clubs and pubs in australia. I am sure you could have enjoyed a well poured guinness at least somewhere. No need to throw the whole country in the bag.
The comment shame on you australia was on off the cuff comment for your country evening letting this in. Not a general comment. I was upset that a group of people who pride themselves on there to drink fine alcoholic beverages would accept such a cheap tacty piece of crap. I have seen this in a couple of places 3 different states(NSW,Vic & ACT)
yeah, i agree that ACT has a bad hospitality industry as far as capital cities go. There is an Irish club in Canberra where Guiness and Kilkenny is on tap and they make you wait for it as they perfect the pour. Like you, it's a shame to pay for a product that is spoiled and to be served by people who don't know their profession well. Managers are at fault as workers can only told what they are expected to do. Hopefully you can identify the good pubs in future. cheers.
If you get somewhere that serves one well poured pint it is all good but i'll keep my fingers crossed its pour well. oversea's its a bit of a gamble that normally fails!!! But if you can get a good pour that pour frequently and can pour properly you are on a winner
the thing that is disgraceful is that several irish guys went to the other side of the fucking world to get a Guinness......
it's like going to siberia looking to see some exotic wildlife!

if he just wanted a Guinness from a can, he could have gone to a store and picked one up cheaper, you go to a bar to get a proper pint on tap.

Everybody is saying that she did it because she's using the surger. YOU SHOULDN'T NEED A MACHINE TO POUR YOUR GUINNESS CORRECTLY!
Resdon111 2 years ago 2
mate, with the surger cans it is IMPOSSIBLE to pour a Guiness properly... Guiness should come out of a tap, but if it can't come out of a tap then with the surger cans and machine is the next best way
flyonethewall 2 years ago
Just because you've never been able to do it, doesn't mean it's impossible.
Cyric1983 2 years ago
as you noticed, she is using a surger, meaning she has to pour the beer in a 1-part pour (with no head) and then she uses the surger to produce the perfect head. Guiness spent millions of dollars in producing the surger machines and the special guiness surger cans which contain a little hydrogen in them. The machine then sends sound waves which react with the hydrogen to create a perfect head. Don't hate the barmaid for doing her job correctly, hate the venue for not having Guiness on tap!

Does nobody realize that it's a "surger"? If she had poured *that* can "properly", it would not have come out right at all. The video begins with a pint that was most certainly poured the same way and put through the surger yet it looks just fine. Guinness designed it for convenience and they certainly know how to treat their own beer better than any ignorant purists. Try it, it tastes fine... the only thing is that you can't draw a shamrock for the customers.

They should do the same thing with a can as they do with the pump; pour two thirds, leave for 2 mins, top up, leave for 1 min then serve as a Guinness SHOULD be.

Disgrace is right. Better than "Opium" in edinburgh though, proper guinness taps, or so we thought. One part pour, came out of the tap settled, in a budweiser glass no less...

in tassie (which is in Australia) they give you a glass, a can. and you pour your own Guinness (which is great) i have had it on tap (which is better) but the guy screwed up the pour, shame really.

This is a warning: If there's hot women behind the bar with those too-tight t-shirts, and dance music drowning out your conversation, the owner of the place cares more about the money than your opinion on how to pour beer.
It's a trade off; if you want eye candy, you get bad beer. You want a decent beer, it's a small brew pub without all the tiny skirts.

willyroberts 2 years ago
Agree that it's disgraceful, but it's not the bartenders fault. It's the Surger System that GUINNESS themselves implemented to sell more product. Typically found in busier pubs/nightclub environments such as the one in the video.
I mean if you want a proper guinness, you've got to go to a proper pub, like anywhere. You want proper wine, you have to go to a proper bar, and not a nightclub etc.
I resent the shame on you Australia comment, what about shame on Guinness for creating such a system?

Ironically the surger system and the cans are all developed by Guinness...and thats how you're supposed to pour it when you use the surger system...But then again..that's why Guinness stopped making the shitty surger system..
magicalpoop 3 years ago
they stopped making it? Then how come you can still buy Guinness Draught in cans and bottles?
stealthswimmer 3 years ago
no the surger system cans are not made to drink by themself. Basically...you buy that black platform..and a SPECIAL can of Guinness MARKED "Surger System". You pour it out JUST like how she did (it will not have the infamous guinness effect)
You hit the button and it sends a pulse into the glass, popping the bubbles. Look for yourself, youtube "Guinness Surger" and "Stella Surger" it's quite hilarious what happens when you use non Guinness on the surger ;)
magicalpoop 3 years ago
oh ok. Yeah I checked on Yahoo and I see what you were talking about now
stealthswimmer 3 years ago
the draught in cans is different to the surger. Theres no widget in the surger cans. All the nitrogen is dissolved in the liquid, the surger just agitates it enough for the nitrogen to rise anf form the creamy head. You cant get the draught in bottles anymore. ive looked everywhere. :(

She butchered that...
Can: Pour straight down the center, that's what the widget's for, let it sit.
Bottle: Enjoy it straight from the bottle.
Tap: Pour about 3 quarters down the side, don't let the tap touch the glass. Straighten the glass upright and finish the pour down the center, allow to sit until that half-quarter inch of head stabilizes.

Luckily I'm working in Canada, it seems people here know how to pour Guinness. They dont sell surgers, only canned regular/extra stout and the bottle. About the import stuff, the stuff here (kegs and cans alike) are all brewed in Canada ..I don't suppose I can judge seeing as I haven't tasted a pint in Ireland..but I'll taste one before I die. But I read up on Guinness's history - they've been setting up breweries all around the world. Wouldn't that cut back the need for extreme preservatives?
magicalpoop 3 years ago
It is a disgrace that they dont have a Guinness tap so people can have Guinness the right way from a keg. When you people start making your own beer you will know the difference between the way it should be and the wrong way.
Also the nitrogen isnt suppose to be in the Guinness already as it is in canned and bottled Guinness from the widget. It is mixed in with the Guinness when poured from a keg. Without the nitrogen you cant have Guinness draught. So Guinness is different in a can than ontap
insanekamkze86 3 years ago
The Guinness was ruin but by the surger not the pour. Guinness in a can n bottle are already made to be poured. When Guinness is served from a keg is when you need the two step pour since it isnt already made to be pour for you to drink. If anyone here really knew about Guinness u would know what i say is true. Bash me if you want but i know what im talking about.

The comment shame on you australia was on off the cuff comment for your country evening letting this in. Not a general comment.

I have seen this in a couple of places 3 different states(NSW,Vic & ACT)
irishalan85 3 years ago
yeah, i agree that ACT has a bad hospitality industry as far as capital cities go. There is an Irish club in Canberra where Guiness and Kilkenny is on tap and they make you wait for it as they perfect the pour. Like you, it's a shame to pay for a product that is spoiled and to be served by people who don't know their profession well. Managers are at fault as workers can only told what they are expected to do. Hopefully you can identify the good pubs in future. cheers.
reinaldihno 3 years ago
If you get somewhere that serves one well poured pint it is all good but i'll keep my fingers crossed its pour well. oversea's its a bit of a gamble that normally fails!!! But if you can get a good pour that pour frequently and can pour properly you are on a winner
