Guinness Drinkers are a Loyal Bunch. Without Guinness, devoted drinkers will often relocate to a more obliging pub. Guinness's "Perfect Pint"™ is a tradition that's been going on since 1759. The truth is:
Without a skilled bartender pouring the "Perfect Pint" - the pint might end up being not so perfect after all. Ensure your customer's appreciation - not to mention their contributions to your earnings - and take care in your pour and presentation:
Step 1: Select a clean, dry glass - hold the glass at 45 degrees under the spout.
Step 2: Pull the handle slowly towards you and allow the beer to flow smoothly down the side of the glass (note: do not submerge the spout in the beer).
Step 3: As the glass fills, straighten the glass - fill glass until full.
Step 4: Stand the glass on the counter and allow the gas to surge through the beer.
Step 5: To create the legendary head, push the handle backward slightly (this is known as "topping off"). The head should rise just proud of the rim.
Step 6: Close the tap and present confidently to the customer.
