It takes 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint of Guinness. Follow these six steps to ensure the beverage is prepared the way it’s intended to be served:
Glass
Pick a cold glass and inspect to make sure there are no smudges or other imperfections.
Tilt
Place the glass at a 45-degree angle, aiming the nozzle at the golden harp icon on the glass.
Pull
Pull the handle all the way down and slowly raise the glass. You never want the nozzle to touch the liquid.
Settle
Once you fill the glass to the top of the golden harp, return the handle upright and let the brew settle. The head should be smooth before moving onto the next step.
Top Up
This time, push the handle away until the head of the beer reaches the top of the glass.
Enjoy
Now that you’ve poured a perfect pint, enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Sláinte!
