- BobDle, on 09/24/2009, -7/+271. Always us a clean, dry 20 oz Imperial pint glass
2. Hold glass at 45 degree angle and never allow the spout to touch beer or glass
3. Pull faucet down and allow beer to fill glass
4. Allow the nitrogen bubbles surge, creating the beautiful creamy head
5. Once the beer has settled (distinct gap between dark liquid and head), the glass is topped up slowly to create a domed effect on the head
6. Give this creation of the perfect pint to an adoring customer - richardiscool, on 09/24/2009, -3/+14Feel free to try this technique, then wonder why most of it is head...
- magneteye, on 09/24/2009, -1/+9"Six Steps to Giving Perfect Head" would have been a better choice... :)
- superandy07, on 09/24/2009, -5/+12Happy birthday Arthur
- apackofmonkeys, on 09/24/2009, -1/+77. goto 1
- smack1700, on 09/24/2009, -7/+13Always a good day for a Guinness
- rocknog, on 09/24/2009, -0/+5Normally I'd criticize your sloppy programming for both using a goto statement and creating an inescapable loop, but on the other hand, it does mean more Guinness.

- DirtPile, on 09/24/2009, -3/+8BRILLIANT!
- dukeeeey, on 09/24/2009, -6/+11"Always us a clean"
I stopped reading there. Seriously how can such ***** make the front page ? Might as well have been written by a 3 year old. - yardie, on 09/24/2009, -3/+81. The glass should be at room temp. or cooler. A glass fresh out the washer will be incredibly hot. I use the tap washer to cool the inside of the glass.
2. Agree. touching the glass isn't so important, but I'm disturbed when I see a tap coated in nasty, dry head.
3. Junior bartenders are a bit intimidated by this one. They think it's like the kitchen faucet for some reason. And when you open it half way it makes a lot of foam.
4. Takes a bit of practice, but you want to fill to about 75%, back off for a minute or 2 to let the bubbles form and then fill to the top.
5. Don't do slowly, unless they have special tap that knows that you're only opening 50% of the tap and releases 50% of the nitrogen, you'll need to open it all the way.
6. Have a bit of fun, draw a shamrock or cartoon. (Or the occasional ***** and *****). Then serve.
7. Collect your tip and bask in the knowledge that you are better than most lazy barmen. - Xzelick, on 09/24/2009, -0/+4I can't believe they left out 2 VERY important steps for a perfect pint...
To pour a perfect Guinness pint it takes 119.5 seconds precisely.
After you fill the glass 3/4 full you straighten it back up and allow it to rest for about 30 seconds, then you top it off while it is still straight up. - Revenuer, on 09/24/2009, -0/+3Hate that the magazine left out your step 4, took all of their credibility away.

- dend, on 09/24/2009, -2/+5It annoys me the amount of bar staff that ***** up pouring pints and its not even that hard. The vast majority of pints i have end up with no head, half a pint of foam, dirty glasses etc. Seriously sort it out.
- sbcea, on 09/24/2009, -1/+4You've obviously never had a good stout. The pour determines how good the beer will taste. If you just want to drink, stick to lager or ale.
- magneteye, on 09/24/2009, -2/+5I was expecting a bit more than the obvious... all I got was the obvious. Lame.
- thefloss, on 09/24/2009, -0/+3Yeah that's correct. Otherwise you'll be left with a headless pint, which is just wrong! It'll effect the flavour badly by the time you get down the glass.
Drink it in a reasonable time, and you'll get a lot of cream at the end of the glass.
<insert innuendo here> - PotbellyJoe, on 09/24/2009, -2/+5What? No instructions on shaping a shamrock into the head?
- j3rm1981, on 09/24/2009, -0/+3Mmmm...makes me want some creamy head. Er...wait..that sounded bad.
Actually, Fergal told James May you're supposed to drink THROUGH the head, not drink the head itself, which is bitter. But I always liked that bitter bit! - sbcea, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2Well, I would never go so far as to call Guinness *****, but Murphy's is definitely better.
- Chirp08, on 09/24/2009, -2/+4It always amazes me how many people don't know to hold the glass/cup/whatever at 45 degrees when pouring a beer. They come back bitching the beer is all foamy while those with common sense have almost no foam.
- theOster, on 09/24/2009, -3/+5if you can't "just pour" a beer and have it come out right, then maybe you stick to cosmos.
- shakesmcgee1, on 09/24/2009, -2/+4Of course it is a Guiness man that knows how to pour the perfect pint. That makes sense as Guiness is, without question, the best beer there is.
- McNerd, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2This is only for Guinness (and similar stouts, should you run across them).
Holding the glass at about a 45-degree angle is good for all beers unless you want to turn them into a fizzy mess, but all the rest is Guinness-specific. And as for head, it varies for different types, but for most beer you get in America it's not a big deal. - DirtPile, on 09/24/2009, -1/+3Tomorrow
- eatinshramps, on 09/24/2009, -13/+15Jesus..just pour some stout in a glass and drink it for *****.
- baseballpm, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2i doubt many would have click on the article with a title like that..
- MeatBallsack, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2thats a paradox ill drink to! cheers
- RHollister, on 09/24/2009, -0/+2It seems this article only applies to Guinness. Although I would love to see all of america switch to the imperial pint. I really dislike the 16ounce cone shaped pints we use here. The beer just seems to flow so much better out of those 20oz.
- Cyberdactyl, on 09/24/2009, -1/+3Shouldn't this be between the advertisement bars?
- RealmDown, on 09/24/2009, -9/+10At last! An article worthy of being on the Digg front page.
- tradderjohn, on 09/24/2009, -2/+32 steps order and receive.
- vilago, on 09/24/2009, -0/+18. Count how many times the word head appears
- leif777, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1I'm shocked that they left out those 2 steps.
- Evilstanley, on 09/24/2009, -3/+47. Never drink it from the bottle. Can or Tap or nothing at all.
- inactive, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1Want.
- vilago, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1actually i have had a good stout. old rasputin russian imperial. nice inference.
- thefloss, on 09/24/2009, -0/+1Haha yeah sometimes... well FREE Guninness is certainly acceptable, and when in Dublin, as they say...
- sbcea, on 09/24/2009, -1/+1Really? So where do you work? Can we come and have a try?
- Xzelick, on 09/24/2009, -3/+3They are missing 2 very important parts of the Guinness perfect pint.
It takes exactly 119.5 seconds to pour a perfect pint.
After the glass is 3/4 full you must straighten it and allow it to rest for 30 seconds before topping it off. - zaferk, on 09/24/2009, -2/+2Its true...
