Bartending school - Draw clover over guinness beer

[raggedyanarchist]

I can do the heart, but whenever I try and do the shamrock, it just looks phallic and I feel a bit embarrassed serving it. I have met a few guys who are staunchly anti-shamrock, but to date nobody has gotten too upset by the heart. This could just be because I'm a lady bartender though, and girlies scribbling hearts in yer beer is kinda cute in a totally sexist way. Heh.

[wsxvgy]

Irish bartenders never destroy the beautiful smooth surface of the creamy head by drawing gimmicky pictures on the surface. That is an insult to a good pint of stout. It is blasphemy to wreck one of the best parts of a pint by scrawling childish graffiti on it. If a barman ever did that to my beer I would send it back or leave the pub to get a proper one elsewhere.

I SEE PENCIL HAND MOVING!

[jabes416]

idk what was worse...the clover or the background music

[lasherr]

never do this!!!!! I've returned beers after some idiot did this to my beer

[eoinosull]

if someone serves you a pint with a SHAMROCK (not clover) in it you are legally obliged to kick them in the balls. so says the laws of guinness!

[frljirma]

how does the table not break

[Georgiahulse]

Ideally, one puts the glass at a 45 degree angle and fills it up 2/3 - wait AT LEAST 90 seconds (collect cash off customer while it settles) and then proceed to fill the rest of the glass up. Guinness always tastes best if it's from, and drunk in Dublin.

[Cyric1983]

Wow...that clover...sucked....

[lixian25]

you can draw a penis on it and i'll still drink it, best beer ever.

[likeastarbaby]

no...your a retard, this is completely wrong. i fill it up about 2/3 then let it settle, but i wait a bit before drawing the clover quickly otherwise it just dissapears into a mush. and there were bubbles in the froth because you pulled it when the glass was too far away.

[annagilda]

It's called a Shamrock, not a clover, and it's only done for American Tourists anyway.

[liljonfunk]

Everyone knows the clover / "shamrock" is done for tourists (mosty americans) Serve a guiness with one drawn in the foam to an irishman , they will probably throw it in your face and tell you "don't do that stupid, gimmicky shite"

[frackle]

@liljonfunk apparently all irishmen are humorless shitheads, good to know?

[mickado15]

Fucking idiots. That's a shamrock not a clover...

[redstar58]

a shamrock is a clover. It comes from the irish seamróg which just means clover

[lordlane4]

@mickado15 its the same fucking thing

[bigcockmurphy]

also as freeradical said the drawing is the last thing you do just as the pint is full otherwise the head disapates and your drawing melts away ,good clover but ur missing the point of a great pint of guiness ,so you need some more bar tending school mate

[bigcockmurphy]

the 1st pour has to be more than 2/3 ,yours was half ,defeating the whole point of the two stage pour as its now settleing again

[bigcockmurphy]

i see bubbles in that head ,thats cause your not tilting it for long enough or your letting the guiness smash into the glass when you pour

[BoutiqueLiquors]

Guinness is perfection in a glass.

[genericsoul]

silly jews think they know how to do it better. meanwhile back in reality you done poured it 100% wrong. and your clover sucks. your timing was wrong, i'd be surprised if you were actually pouring a Guinness.

[SmithyAce]

Sucks, you need to fill the glass more.. leave around 4 cm off the rim.. then start drawing the clover.. otherwise as you just showed you spend ages filling the glass and the clover will disappear.

[agamling]

Thanks man !! love it.. i want to drink drink drink ; )

[youhavenoproof]

nothing worse than bubbles in a pint of guinness

[emotiondetector7]

Cool video! An interesting tip I learned tonight is that if you rotate the glass while pouring the first portion of the Guinness, it helps disperse the foam so you get a thicker, stiffer head, which will give you a better canvas to wreak havoc on. :)

After weeks of trying to master this, it finally clicked tonight and I nailed it. Now I'm addicted and keep forcing people to order Guinness. Lol

[freeradicals]

that was awful. i thought i was bad, but was nasty. He drew it too quickly, so he had to wait for ages after he finished, and the glass is not full enough.

[ljb0089331]
