Pouring a Guinness is not like pouring any old beer. Learn how to do it like a real Irishman.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Guinness Stout
A 20-ounce tulip pint glass

Step 1: Chill the beer

Chill the Guinness to 38 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2: Ready a glass

Get out a 20-ounce tulip pint glass and hold it at a 45-degree angle.

Step 3: Pour

Slowly pour the Guinness into the glass until it is three-quarters full.

Tip: If you are tapping the beef from a keg, do not let the tap touch the glass.

Step 4: Let the beer sit

Let the beer sit until the pale foam turns black. This can take a couple of minutes.

Step 5: Top it off

Top off the glass until the beer reaches the brim.

Tip: If you ever order a Guinness and get a glass full of foam, send it back!

Step 6: Wait

Wait until all the bubbles have risen and the stout is a clear, dark-brown color before drinking.

I don't like cappuccino/coffee but I guess I'll keep my eye out for those other stouts.

[DAFIZZIF]

@fire2box There are thousands of better beers than Guinness Draught. Many stouts in fact, such as Victory's Storm King, Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout, and Bell's Kalamazoo Stout, to name just a few(some of my personal faves.) My all time favorite beer is Bell's Hopslam, which is as close to Heaven as I have gotten.

[fire2box]

@DAFIZZIF if that was true, then wheres this beer directly from heaven?

[DAFIZZIF]

So much trouble for such a shit beer...
