The Way It Is
Pouring a Guinness is not like pouring any old beer. Learn how to do it like a real Irishman.
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.
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.
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.
According to Guinness brewmaster Fergal Murray, the perfect Guinness pour should take 119.5 seconds.

thats bull, guinness shouldn't be from a can, the guinness that 0.39 is already dead, A guinness shouldn't have any bubbles, it should not be dark brown, should be BLACK,
Draught guinnes in a good bar with lots of tap usage doesn't take 2 minutes. Do your research boys! Irish Bar-man speaking here!
