You’ve Been Pouring Guinness All Wrong

- Опубликовано: 22 май 2018
- Ordering a Guinness on drafts takes longer than most other beers. Part of the reason is the gas used to carbonate it: nitrogen. William Lee, a professor of Industrial Mathematics at the University of Huddersfield, discovered that the specially-designed Guinness pint glass causes the bubbles to sink. This increases the wait time for the beer to settle. From his findings in the study funded by the Science Foundation Ireland, Lee believes something closer to a giant martini glass would work better.

Do that here in ireland and watch how quickly you'll be wearing that so called perfect pint.
I love Guinness my wife bought me a pint Glass from the Brewery . And I used it for the first time today
Also he fails to mention the point of a head is to stop the beer sloshing out
Don't forget the draught excluder as the hairs on the bottom of the door are balls not hairs. That's all on the camfield which originated from 11
"So, the ideal glass would be kind of martini shaped"
I've got to give him credit, he's found a new way for an Englishman to be controversial with the Irish.
True Guinness is one of those beers they can’t seem to serve
@@oscarosullivan4513 It's bad enough in England but go help you if you try to order it in the US. Anywhere other than a few authentic Irish pubs will pour the whole lot in one go. No wonder foreigners find guinness bitter when that is their reference point.
@@rory6984 The wait for Guinness or other nitro stouts isn’t a problem. The Martini glass is ridiculous as is the 119.5 seconds total pour.
@@oscarosullivan4513 Its not just the second pour. From pub to pub the quality of a pint of Guinness varies.
@@rory6984 Thank god I live in a city with a bunch of authentic irish pubs.
The wait is part of the experience. It creates that foamy head and gives you a sense like you aren't drinking just a boring old beer.
Scott Burton Guiness is nothing special.They just put nitro in it.
Title misleading. You’re simplifying “better” to a single variable: “speed of settling”. The martini glass is objectively worse in every other metric.
Never order a Guinness in a rush, if you're too impatient to wait for the drink to settle, then you're in too much of a hurry to enjoy it
As an Irish barman, so much of this video hurt to watch. I won't even list. Jesus Christ.
Why?
You talk so much shit but you don't even list a single reason why???
It's literally just a video hating on guinness
Guinness is a stout for crying out loud, not a Lager or Ale
Order the 2nd as soon as you get your first. Then repeat as necessary.
This man is the true scientific genius
harvard wants to give you a scholarship
Ore than 2 will get you sick
@@joshbecque3922 had 8 the other day
I freaking dare someone to ask for Guinness in a martini glass at an Irish pub with a straight face! That would be priceless! 😂😂😂
Their face will wouldn't be very straight after that.
😂
Might as well ask for a glass of milk.

Who drinks beer from a straw, I don't know if we should be listening to this guy.
I've heard it gets you drunk on less beer. So if you're on a budget and can only afford a 6 pack but want to get drunk , drink it through a straw.
Never tried it though.
I don’t know
probably not.
More nice if serving with vitagen straw that's fantastic
When some one tells you they would rather get thier beer faster than have it taste amazing is not a beer fan.
I was okay with everything until the last thing he said about drinking beer out of a straw
I did it once with like 4 straws, it was really strange but effective
Yeah, all this fuzz about bubbles and then he'd drink it with a straw?! Makes me question his beer knowledge.
@@Admiralgrusbil you should just snorkle it
There's a guy in a pub I frequent that uses a plastic syringe to consume his whiskey, so as not to upset his oversized moustache. I suppose a straw is too posery for him🤣
No.1 the waiting period is miniscule.
No.2 the martini version has basically no head.
No.3 the guinness your drinking is second rate anyway due to the drop in quality outside Ireland
The beer is the same... maybe fresher in IR but the same kegs go to Dublin and New York
Just not the same as it is over the water in Dublin
@@lloydcates917 Check where your Guinness was brewed and bottled next time you order one. Most sold in the states are brewed in Canada or the midwest U.S. Extra Foreign Stout is the best we can get imo.
Every single guiness stout that we drink comes from St James Gate in Ireland... brewed bottled and shipped from there. Trust me man.
Blonde (Baltimore), Extra Stout (Canada) and I think they brew a few off ones in chicago.. but every guiness stout come from Ireland
This video is so ridiculous
There's nothing wrong with the current Guinness glass. The settling time is by design and also looks cool. If you can't wait a minute for it to settle, then you're probably an alcoholic. Furthermore, its not like you even have to wait for it to completely settle before you drink it. You can drink it while it's settling if you're that impatient.
Nick H there's no head on the martini glass either.
he is english, says it all....
@@alexh.743 I'm English?
@@Asimo44 that's why you think you don't need a Guinness to settle
@@metodej4543 No I'm American, and I wait for it to settle. I'm just saying you could drink it before it settles if you really wanted to.
I’ve talked to many bartenders, and several have told me that it’s all about the wait. Most stouts and porters are supposed to be drank at a temperature closer to room temp. The shape of the glass slows down the process of settling in order to help the delicious elixir reach it’s ideal temp.
ZenGuru421 the Guiness glass is just a gimmick.
theres a few places in ireland and NI you can get a guiness at room temperature
So, you order your next pint before you have finished the current one, that is how we do it here in Ireland. Timing, takes a bit of practice but once you got it, it works. Also pubs in Ireland pre-pour Guinness pints in anticipation of people ordering them, so you normally see a rake of pints resting on the counter waiting for top up.
Why do you order before you finish the first one
@@oscarosullivan4513 it's because your thick
@@oscarosullivan4513 because you can't stop after 1 that's crazy
if you got multiple drinks in the order you pour the guiness first and then do the rest while you wait for the guiness to settle. or you just order porterhouse which in my opinion is the nicer of the dublin stouts.
When I saw the title, I assumed that this would be a method that produced a better Guinness than usual, not just a faster one.
'marketing' has nothing to do with it. As a beer brewer, I've seen that there are marked taste and aroma differences with good quality beers and stouts when served in the right glass. Good beers are wasted if drunk from the bottle or standard pub glass - designed for safety and longevity. Guinness works fine in the conical glass and needs settling time. It does taste even better in a stout specific glass or a large tulip/wine shape, and this can overcome much of the "Guinness doesn't travel" argument. Try it in a pub. It'll start a conversation if nothing else...
Fair Bloody Dinkum the waiting for your Guinness to settle is all part of the ritual: it builds the anticipation of when you finally get to drink and savour this wonderful nectar
Isn’t it supposedto be dense anyway
Ok so no taste difference just a time difference. Ya see, what we do in Ireland is pre-empt the wait so order the pint quicker than you usually would a lager for example. Pretty stupid to keep on getting caught out by that wait.
2 minutes isn’t long
Exactly, if your a regular at a particular pub, the bar person might even know just when to start your next one.
Imagine thinking that waiting 2 minutes for your pint was unreasonable.
It is a Stout
@@oscarosullivan4513 a pint of stout
The way your man talks about how he’d prefer to get his Guinness served is reminiscent of Cromwell’s treatment of the Irish.
Respect the pint.
Its still a pint, its just shaped differently
Japanese traditions stem from meiji-era westernization, the scottish kilt was a 19th century invention and "in god we trust" was first coined in 1957, the pint ain't no tradition and you're talking out of your ass.
Respect the science.
Guinness is an English owned stout
@@potatoheadhaoy God you must be empty inside
@@123brizy No French owned but Irish managed
Love hearing an American talk about pouring Guinness
Or English
dude you're never gonna convince me to drink beer out of a martini glass.
And yall really didnt tell us how to pour, this video was basically talked about the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen within beer
Martini glass speed of settling leads to shallow thin head on the beer!!! Sacrilege! We ancient Irish Guinness drinkers all used to order our next pints 1/2 to 3/4s way down our first pints! Where’s the waiting now boyo’s?!!!🤣
Also risk of spillage
What they don't take into account is the head. You need to pour it tilted to avoid any bubbles from forming at the top. Pour it too steep and they form immediately at the surface, too tilted and they splash onto the head. I find the perfect Guinness is poured just at the tip of the rising stout, adjust it by gradually lowering and tilting the glass according to the rise. By doing so you still have to wait to settle it, but the Guinness will darken much faster and prettier than any other way. Plus your head will be paper white and smooth as a baby's bottom!
This is how you pour all beers, be it can, draft, or bottle. Every beertender knows this.
I'm a die-hard Guinness drinking, and I can tell by taste when it is poured wrong, it will always be the double-pour for me
I want those five minutes of my life back.
As do I
"I drink Guinness beer using a Starbucks Tumbler."
And now we wait...
A public drinking house in Arizona did something similair
How to drink Guinness right according to these guys: get rid of the head. Doesn’t matter if it’s what makes Guinness great, I want my beer now!
Guinness workers and fanatics want to take you into the back alley and teach you a lesson.
is your next video:
you are breathing the wrong way
So you're telling us on how to pour a beer because of bubbles

You cut paper all wrong. Here is how you do it
Spoken like a man who's never drank a pint in Dublin. Guinness is garbage in the rest of the world and pouring it wrong is one of the reasons.
David Boland it is a beer (and not a good one) you poser

Tech insider's just an advertisement channel now
GalacticSlayer yup(
GalacticSlayer true
Yet it still happens in other beer glasses
All Due Respect to the Engineer Talking about the Physics, and Formulas, As an Irish Barman, Someone coming into asking a Bar, ( Any Bar ) asking for Guinness in a Martini Glass, is Gonna Be told here to Go... if you don't like Guinness, as it comes from the Tap, or the Tulip Glass, and without Blackcurrant etc...
Don't Drink it. There's plenty more Options.
I like having photographs of old bars and pubs like these with their equipment in my phone and PC so I could use them as wallpaper. Anyone knows a place where I can download these types of pics?
Go to a cool bar, ask if you can take a photo, drink 1-5 beers, go home. Repeat.
Do you’re saying it defies the laws of Fizz-sics?
😎
imagine seeing an old guy walking around the bar drinking "beer" in a "gigantic" martini glass 🤔
He’s had one too many springs to mind
How do you pour it to a tasting glass like a Teku. I Like the aromas and taste more than the looks
What i really want to know is how to pour Guinness in a regular non special glass...i normally pour really slow until i get half way to the top then I pour full speed so to speak 😞
As an Irish man i see Guinness being served in a Martian glass an insult to years of tradition and would never be served like that in its home nation
If you eat frozen food straight out of the packet to save time "waiting", it also tastes like absolute ass 👍
True
@@oscarosullivan4513 That lasagne was disgusting
@@Frenchdayz Where did you get it
The bubbles happen in a standard pint glass too. I don’t think he’s had very many pints of Guinness.
Or good ones
I worked in a bar that had funny lights on the bar and you would see the Guinness effect in other beers cause of said lights.Its the perfect pint of Times Square rooftop bar.Think it was 46th street and bway.Not sure it cause of the gas mix but all the beers used to settle just like Guinness but at different speeds.
Finishing after a minute of waiting you should push the handle opposite way
Are we just not gonna remember that nitrogen is heavier than co2 causing the nitrogen bubbles to sink?
Interesting point
Im never pouring a Guinness wrong when im pouring it down my throat.
so do the buubles sink in my stomach or rise uo to my nose
so much science in a single glass of beer
A lot of science
If quality is the same, I don't mind waiting
I think people are to impatient for a beer. Pouring a Gunniess or Murphy's is a art that most people don't appreciate. I rather wait because I love watching the Cascade effect from the beer because it's one of few that do it which makes it it's own unique style.
I love Guinness so much that i would rather wait a long time to watch the bubbles fall and take a big ass pull of that brew. Its worth the wait and an experience
Its higher surface area, bubbles dissipate faster because there's more room, idk why you need math for this, but like, *i could never explain this with numbers.*
You men are geniuses.
Thank you all and Gods bless.
Most pubs serve stouts too cold anyway. A stout should be served around 55 degrees, but due to refrigeration limits most places serve the stout at the same temperature that they server all their other beers. Any extra amount of time I have to wait for a stout to "settle" is perfectly fine because I have to wait for it to warm up as well.
Use Celsius
-.-" im gonna go with the usual glass. Drinking Guinness with a martini glass... let alone, with a straw... is just ridiculous! hahaha
I don’t order it at a pub because the spout has to dip into the beer and they never clean the tap spouts
"For me, an important thing is I get my drink very quickly." (Sounds like something a frat boy gunning Bud Lights would say) --- "I might have to drink it out of a straw so as to not spill it on me." (He would rather drink beer out of a straw than wait an extra minute for his beer??)
Quite unreasonable indeed
they could use the Affligem glass. It has that shape you are looking for :)
All i drink is guiness, once ive had 2 or 3 pints i just ask them to pour it straight, very small difference in the taste, you dont even notice if youve already had a few
I knew how to pour Guinness.
i got this evil corporate overlord vibe but honestly they are just taking a cool part about their beer and displaying it in a beautiful way, yeah it takes time but its not a legendary beer because of its looks alone.
This video is well made and I don't doubt the Professor's expertise (thoughh I think it's a combo of carbonation and nitrogenation)...but the thesis is that the whole metric is just...how fast it settles? I think most Guinness drinkers would disagree! It's almost like "Tech Insider"s "content" is just a marketing company. Aka clickbait. Suddenly defensive?
He is English they can’t pour Irish stouts
I love that the guys who made this video thought they needed to add English captions when the English guy is actually speaking English.
Next video: You're pouring your water all wrong
My whole life was a lie
Aren't you a minor?
How many times do I have to say?
*GET OUT*
you are everywhere
Ninja Hattori still reading newspaper?.. oh I didn't notice HOW CAN YOU TEXT THROUGH NEWSPAPER
Justin Y. Hahaha 😂😂😂
I've been informed by my Irish friends that offering an Irishman a Budweiser is a declaration of holy war
Not all stouts are nitros mr dr professor also you can achieve this in most any shape glass (the shaker pint is the glass he is looking for) also also you can pour a nitro hard and it will cause the cascade no need for the 45 degree nonsense
Had already lost me before I watched - caption under the vid "Part of the reason is the gas used to carbonate it: nitrogen." - lol
If it has no co2, it's not carbonated is it?
A really good bartender will know when you are going to need another beer, and prepare one in advance. My guy is top notch. A fresh one almost always arrives just as I finish the one in hand. I tell you, these guys are never paid enough.
So what would happen if you poured a different brand of stout into a guinness pint glass?
nitro beers are lit, u can chug them pretty quick
Boddington's also has the same bubble action.
I would order beer in scottish pub in martini glass, but only if that glass had cute pink drawings on the side .
So where's the second pour?
That 'tulip' glass you're using isn't what seasoned Guinness drinkers want their pint in. The real glass is wider and a little shorter too
Guinness , you’re brewing it wrong .
Perfect example of overthinking. Enjoy the beer lads don’t worry about the hardware
Just had an amazing Guiness Irish Stout, in a can. Very subtle taste.
I think they "buried the lead". Making you wait is marketing. 1) You appreciate the delayed gratification more than the instant gratification. 2) When you order a Guinness there is this "exclusive six step branded process" that they have to go through which obviously means it is a better beer. because of the exclusivity etc. It takes longer because it helps them sell more beer!!!
This is not a comment about the beer. It is a comment about the marketing, I love that marketing because if nothing else it made Guinness be one of the few stouts readily available in the US before the craft beer boom.
Now, I am going to go test the affect that various shapes of glasses have on Guinness beer.
You know, for science.
Now I want a Guinness
How bout I just drink the beer lol
It does that in this dollar store flat bottom glass and if you take the can that has the widget in it you can crack it open drop it in and let the liquid balance wait for those bubble's to fall and just gently but constantly pull it out and the fall still happen it's really a party trick more than anything
A UK man can’t talk about Guinness
Jesus Christ Guinness has a strong connection to Britain.
TrueFilter no it doesn’t
Jesus Christ the owners were considering removing all Irish from branding only 35 years ago. They also didn't employ catholics up until the 1960s.
TrueFilter Guinness is an Irish stout made in Dublin at St.James gate since 1725, the same factory is still in operation in DUBLIN.....it has nothing todo with the UK
Jesus Christ it's British owned and brewed in 49 different countries.
Good things come to those who wait. If they can ferment it and allow it to condition for over a month maybe two, I can wait 2 minutes to drink it proper. Respect Arthur.
2 minutes is nothing
I would like to watch the reaction of a beer expert or Guiness' Brew master to this video.
If I wanted to be annoyed with captions throughout the entire video I would elect to turn them on myself
Every time I see that lager in the Guinness glass, I feel a sort of mental tick.
I do as well. English know jack all when it comes to Guinness
If you suggest drinking Guinness with a straw you lose all credibility.
I don’t really care about the waiting. Hell, i don’t even care about the bubbles but it shure looks great! Can’t we just all sit down and have a pint of this lovely drink?
I think the title should be "you've been drinking Guinness from the wrong vessel all your life"
One thing I will never do is let a Brit tell me how a stout should be poured.
Because they can’t pour it
Ok copied! I gotta use my scientist calculator to solve that equations before ordering my next Guinness.... 👍😎👉🍺 LOL
The information density of the narrator was piss poor. I had to keep skipping 10s at a time for his points to come across at a normal rate.
I’ll wait for it, thank you.
The marketing tradition.
HA - the "...straw..." came to my mind even before it was mentioned it - HA. I have seen a pub here that after the pint of Guinness was poured, they then put the glass on some sort of machine that 'mico-vibrates' and gets all the bubbles and head up to the top very quickly. HA - a mate put his pint of lager on it and the machine sent all the CO2 out in a 'flash - HA - his pint was a flat pint in no time at all. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Liked the story
The head is so much smaller, you'd be missing out on the creamy smoothness
Folk tradition dictates that if too thin it will be quite sweet and too thick bitterness is overwhelming
