I drink cans of Guinness "raw" direct from the can. I've been told I'm "some scumbag".

Durt burd.

You won’t get the validation that you are looking for off me anyways.

Fine at 3PM at the Sunday of a music festival. Otherwise you can do better.

Yes, warm stout tastes better than warm lager.

I've done it myself in the past, and it tastes fine no big deal do as you please.

Work away. Guiness Is no different to many beers. It's probably better from a glass but fine too from a can.

You should be beaten with a hemp sack full of craft beer.

Hmm, I thought it'd settle. Bottles are a different drink altogether, I like one off the shelf.

The two part pour is a load of old bollocks.

But it does need to be poured.

Marketing, pint of plain was always a two part pour but when nitrogen was added to Guinness in the 50's or 60's it meant it could be poured in one go but the regular old pint men at the time didn't like that so it went back to a two part pour. It makes absolutely zero difference to the look or taste of Guinness but Diageo make pubs pour it like that due to marketing. Anyone who tells you it tastes differently in one pour is talking bollix.

? ? ?

You’re not a scumbag, scrotist.

If the nitrogen is released from the bottom of the can and floats the to the top, how is it not well mixed? It is literally going through the entire can, top to bottom?

Yes, the can just needs to be upside down so the widget gives the head more froth.

I hope the OP is cleaning his can tops. These can be stored outside and are not always clean. Even though I use a glass I still clean the top of the can.

Bingo.

I remember the days when you could only get Guinness in a bottle. It was absolutely disgusting. Looked like coca cola when poured. My old man was a Guinness drinker and he couldn't stomach it either. Then they started selling syringes with the bottles so people could give their pint a head. That was just weird.

These days, a poured can of Guinness is just as good as the pint down the local, regardless of what some people would have you believe.

My local is renowned for its Guinness and has been for many a decade. It's a Guinness pub.

I get a consistently good pour from Guinness cans...

Open it... wait about 3 seconds and wholly invert it into the glass and pull the can out as fast as the glass fills.. Fully empty the can in one go. Don't carry on like you're a barman with 45 degree angles and two stage pours. Does not work out of a can.

🤣

You've said nothing that I don't know already.

And where I drink is on this list...

You're determined to a dick are ya.

Enjoy your day kid. 😉

Perhaps. But the lines do have to be cleaned from time to time.

Where I drink it's almost exclusively Guinness, although there are other pints available of course. I know the people that run it pretty well and they've told me that the vast majority of their sales is Guinness and if people stopped drinking it, they'd be out of business in short order. So the Guinness is always on the go.

Funny you term it "old man pub", because that's exactly what we used to call it when we first started going there.

If you pour it steady and slowly, you can regulate the head. It you horse it all in quickly, more than likely you end up with a head over an inch and half high.

"I remember the days when you could only get Guinness in a bottle."

Ah yes, the old Guinness Extra Stout - it was all over the place in Elder Days, in a time when our grandmothers swore by the "egg flip". I was always given to understand that that was a completely different brew from the draught stout, though?

Any other beer straight from the can is equally fine to a glass.

Stout has to be poured

You can still get the Guinness Extra Stout in bottles I think. Been a while since I've seen it though. AFAIK, the extra stout has carbon in it and a higher alc. content. Draught is a much milder drink. Don't think I could go on a sesh guzzling the extra stuff.
