I’ve never really had Guinness, but stumbled onto your channel and decided to try a pint in my local, now I’m hooked!…just bought some cans for home, Sláinte 👍🏻
The glass won’t smash in the freezer no matter how long you leave it in for. It would only smash if you added a hot liquid to it immediately after bringing it out. Thermal shock.
During the lockdown I was gasping for a pint of Guinness and previous experience had taught me that cans of Guinness are shite. Well, after a year and a half of drinking exclusively cans of Guinness I can honestly say I love them. Even though I do to the pub for a few scoops every now and again (which are obviously superior), the lockdown has made me appreciate the simple joy of a can of Guinness.. And you're spot on when you said that 24 hours standing up in the fridge is the way to go. I'm no authority on how Guinness works but the fridge with the cold glass makes a notable difference..
I find the 90 degree straight up and down pour makes for the best head. I experimented with an 8 pack of cans and the 90 degree pour was best. The method Guinness printed on the box literally created no head at all (open, let rest for 30 seconds, pour at a 45 in one smooth pour). It didn’t even surge. The 90 degree pour surged and had the creamiest head. That’s what you’re looking for as everyone knows the best sip of Guinness is the first. So I try and take down about a 3rd of the pint in the first sip and it is sweet.
@@djlawney Lol I actually did and got the same results. Our cans come from St James Gate, so it should be as good as it gets in terms of a can. But I've been sticking to the local pub, they pour a nice pint of guinness with no bubbles in the head.
@@iknowyoureright8564 I've had about 500 Guinness cans since then, and tried it multiple times both ways and can confirm 90 degree pour is still the best lol
You’re actually not supposed to do the 2 part pour with Guinness draught in a can. The 2 part pour is only for Nitrosurge or on tap. With draught you’re supposed to do one smooth motion of slowly tilting the glass upright after being at a 45 degree angle until it’s full.
Cheers for this video! Have recently started drinking Guinness at the pub and have got a real taste for it, so this is a perfect guide for me when I want to start drinking it at home. Slainte to you and look forward to more videos soon! Best Wishes Chris
Had a half pint of Guinness just to test and see how it was, idk if other beers have it or not but that creamy top of the Guinness just make the drink amazing, gives it a thick nice taste over any other beers I’ve drank, real delight!
@@trendkill3333 Murphy's stout does it Aswell. I have also had similar tastes with very fresh Ipas but only fresh ones once they are a month old they go bitter
Fair play. Being drinking Guinness for many years and have had to do with the can since the pubs closed. Well recently I picked up some cans of O'Hara's Nitro stout and I am totally converted. Incredible texture and tons of flavour. The best stout that has ever gone past my lips. Beats Guinness in every department. A big plus is that it is a craft stout, so all natural ingredients. The downside is that it is much more expensive. Ye pay your money and ye take your choice. My money is on O' Hara's.
@admin No. I am now drinking Guinness nitrosurge cans. Still prefer o' Haras nitro by a distance, but the failure of the widget to activate on a regular basis was a disappointment. Contacted o' Haras by email and they did not want to know.
I work in a bar and got asked to pour Guinness for the first time. Never got trained on how to do it so I poured it like a regular beer. The customer was not happy so I came here.
Pint glass, pour it like a lager till about 3 quarters of the way to the top then lift the can up straighten the glass and do a circular motion, fills the head to maybe a few ml off the top.
Thanks for this wonderful video. Ive managed to get some of their coffee flavoured guiness today. So I wanted to know the best way to pour it before I started to enjoy it and your video has helped a lot thanks. It definitely has a nice coffee smell to it when the can is opened and it's pouring into the glass but tasting it it seems like normal Guinness with just a hint of coffee flavour but maybe I was expecting too much. But all in all it's a very good drink. Thanks
I just tried that method tonight the inverted can one and I totally agree with you. My pint was far creamier and I'd no bubbles on the head! I was always 2 part pouring the cans but I think this is my new way👍
Can you make me a video Mr. Guru? Find out what happens to the Guinness in the taps during the shutdown. Does stay in situ or did they give it all away on the last night. Also, what do pubs have to do when they open up again after a shutdown? Do they clean the pipes? New kegs or what happens. Good content!
@@daraghcurran If its a case of they pour the stuff that's been sitting in there since March I think we better send in our heroes to drink the keg empty. You know all those old guys that sit around the bar, We can stand outside and clap them on their way in
the sherlock holmes inn here in Melbourne Australia has it on tap and they have their glasses in the fridge, they then pour 80%, leave it for a minute before topping it up. So I think you are into something.
Ive drunk nothing but guinness for 40 years,makes no difference whatsoever which way you pour a tin as long as its cold.I dont even want to think about how many tins ive had🤣
Good video but as a long time Guinness drinker I would never have a can of draught Guinness in any glass other than a official Guinness Gravity pint glass, the one with the angels inside it. The glass is designed to push the Nitrogen back down into the bottom of the glass bringing the beer with it. That's why Guinness bubbles go down while settling and beer or lager bubbles go straight up. 👍
Thanks legend. There's an Aussie scientist called Dr. Carl who is amazing at answering any questions based in science and I asked him why they went down in person at one of his shows and your response for that is pretty well word for word. Love that stuff.
Training myself. 3rd pour upside down way works best for me but the freezer trick might have to try it. Only just got find of it my self. Is the clover thing a thing and what's the history behind it apart from good luck and prosperity. If I remember that rightly.
Why do the bubbles go down rather than up? I've heard loads of reasons...shape of the glass...nitrogen rather than CO2.....friction with the glass.... Anybody know the real reason?
They don't "go down"...the bubbles in the middle are rising faster since they aren't slowed by friction against the glass. The bubbles in the middle create a current, sucking the exterior bubbles "down" and then up into the center of the pint.
Thanks man, I decided to try out my first Guinness and though it was out of a can I was able to pour up the perfect Guinness with a delicious creamy head about an inch thick.
Every time I open my cans of Guinness i get froth come out , done it exactly the same as you and always froth , dont no what im.doing wrong. Can i get some advice please
Is that the 500ml glass from Ikea by any chance Guru? Looking at buying a few to pour my stockpile of 500ml cans I bought from Dublin airport duty free lol - they don't sell the 500ml cans in England (or not for a good price anyway)
Everytime I open the can with the widget I get bigger or smaller mess. What is the trick to open it and not get half of the kitchen covered in Guinness? Do I just have to open it quickly?
In the states, and I can only speak for the mid-east portion, the date code on most Guinness stout products is last summer. This is annoying especially because you don't know how it was handled since last summer.
I made a pisstake calm start then scream and shout and neck a pint of plain for St Paddy's day video, for my mates and at the switch I did it a big break into Thin Lizzy too. Great mind lad ;)
Love Guinness from the pub could have it all day, but everytime i’ve had Guinness from the can no matter how it’s poured it just tastes of chemicals and tastes nothing like the pub. Why is that?
Your tasting the tin taste from it. Guinness will never ever be as good in a can than on draft, but the more you drink the cans the more you will get use to it (Eventually)
Warren Coakley Cheers Warren, I had a feeling it would be the tin. I must have had about 15 cans so far so it’s not too bad but the difference is huge.
Warren Coakley Been a few months and can happily say that I actually enjoy it. Was definitely just the getting used to it that made it taste off at first
Best way I've found is pour it straight in with the can 1cm or 2cm away from the head as you're pulling the upside down can, upwards. No bubbles, perfect head
Hi Guinness Guru...is this the same beer they serve at the Gravity Bar (Guinness Storehouse, Dublin) or is that the 4.2% abv Guinness XX Original? Thanks for your help. Totally admire your devotion to The Black Stuff!!

Shake the can before u open to activate the widget. That is the secret. Then lob the can into the glass
By Jeezus! It worked.
When you shake it the head becomes very bubbly tho
Thank u for the info. I’ll try it next time I drink. Guinness in Europe taste so good.
He has an Irish accent. So I automatically trust him lol
I'm extremely hungover just now and my mouth is watering watching this
Can you do the perfect pour of a Dutch Gold next? Thanks
The widget inside the can is designed to make this a single pour. You would get a double pour from the keg.

I went from your TikTok to finding out how to pour a can properly and the first video on RUclips was this... full circle
Came the other day for the covid haircut here for the pint slainte from the iom
I like the completely inverted can method where you turn the can all the way upside down
im going to try this method next!
I just tried that method tonight the inverted can one and I totally agree with you.
My pint was far creamier and I'd no bubbles on the head!

Won’t an ice cold glass take away flavour ?
Your gulping always infuriates me !
In Australia we would be on our third by the time you've started drinking
I thought you didn't have to tip it as it was a draught can? Only normal cans have to be tipped?
I have tried each method, but as yo have Phil and the Boyz as your soundtrack for this viddy, well you win!!
Instructions unclear I Left the Guinness in the freezer and it froze? I now have a slushy 😂
I always pour the entire can in one go. I’ve tried your method but it tends to make little to no difference to the overall “head” effect
Ive drunk nothing but guinness for 40 years,makes no difference whatsoever which way you pour a tin as long as its cold.I dont even want to think about how many tins ive had🤣

How do you get hold of the pint cans can’t find them anywhere
Some Walmart’s have them if you live in the US.
heyyyy luv ur video sir lots of love from massachusetts
I like to turn the can straight upside down, then let the head settle for 2 or 3 minutes. I think it is the best
Is this true for Kilkenny as well

Open it poke a hole behind the pull tab then maintain the laminar flow if it's a nitro it's the same way
