Guinness has just launched its new pint glass to the nation, specifically designed so you guys can enjoy the perfect pint of the black stuff. It’s the first change to the iconic tulip glass in 10 years sporting a thicker base for a better grip and a taller, slimmer design.
Watch out for the new glass in pubs and bars across the UK and let us know what you think..
Here are some top tips for enjoying the perfect pint of Guinness this weekend. Let’s hope the sun shines!
How to drink the perfect pint of Guinness
Hold the glass with the Guinness harp facing you and your thumb over the harp
Never look down. Look at the horizon and bring the glass to your mouth, not your mouth to the glass
Take a sip, breaking the seal of the head of your pint
Enjoy the Guinness cream moustache left on the top of your lip
Each time you take a drink from the pint, hold the glass in the same position and repeat above, letting the liquid flow underneath the head of the pint
Expect to experience the malty sweetness at the front of your mouth, the roasted flavour at the side and the distinctive Guinness bitterness at the back
I have a proper mustache for catching the Guinness foam. It also works well for Pipeline Porter, Nut Brown, and Oatmeal Stout.
Just to clarify: you are stating that you have the perfect mustache for catching Nut Brown?
Yes Mags, you are correct. However, two things here…
One, the beer is so good that I don’t care, and…
Two, I figured I would give you an easy dig there. Glad to see you didn’t miss it.
Ty.
Additionally: Pipeline Porter would be an awesome porn name.
If I’m not mistaken, this stuff tastes like stale coffee and doesn’t even have carbonation…
Pretty sure you’re always mistaken, retard.
How are those forum posts no one sees treating you?
Pretty good, childish name caller.
I get to cam whore and I don’t have to see people complaining or posting so much that I can’t see my pictures, one after another.
Thanks for asking.
Good Gods, man! We have a self-aware attention whore! My God, that’s never happened before! Call the presses! Someone who uses forced attention by provoking others as a way to gain socialization without doing that hard work of actual contributing towards some endeavor acknowledges that he’s taking the easier-but-less-rewarding path actually knows they are a lazy sociopath? Oh brave new world, where is my soma ration?
Oh wait, all of them except the autistics realize they are taking hate as attention rather than friendship because stirring hornets’ nests is easier than being a actual decent fellow. Sorry, guess you’re not unique (so much so that I copied and pasted this from an earlier post from another image blog. Their troll was a lot more interesting).
I’m just promoting myself for modeling scouts.
If you’re the only one who can see them why are you posting them?
Its not name calling. Its an observation. You’re a retard, retard.
No, it’s name calling.
Actually what you just did was name calling. You called me a No, retard.
Its an observation because you are retarded.
Name calling is when I call you a dumbshit or when anyone else calls you a gigantic faggot. Actually that last one is an observation as well.
Side note: kudos for proving Darwinism is no longer in any way in effect.
Darwinism is in effect, unless he has successfully produced offspring.
Don’t give him any ideas.
Is it name calling when it is an accurate description?
again, becasue you are a douche
I wasn’t a fan as a teenager but as I grew older I began to appreciate the taste. I love Guinness!!
we just got these in at work.. theyre awesome. unlike you casefag
Thanks! 😉
A user manual is not necessary to enjoy Guinness.
It is if you’re foolish enough to buy one.
this is sexy
I’ll be stealing a few of these from the pub
Send one to me.
From what I’ve heard, Guinness in the US tastes nothing like Guinness in Ireland. If you want good beers, stay away from imports, the processing and pasteurizing kill the flavor, and you never know how long they’ve been in shipment. And this glass…just a repackaging of the same product to make a beer that’s been around for centuries seem brand new.
I like a good stout…there are many out there that beat the hell out of Guinness. Bells Expedition from Michigan is a great American stout.
No other good stout readily available across the US though.
Bells, Rogue, Dogfishhead, all great Stouts made by US brewers. Odds are, no matter where you live, there’s a local brewer somewhere nearby making a stout that is at least as good as Guinness, if not better.
I can’t wait to insert my penis into one of these…
Wow…apparently a few uneducated beer drinkers responding here. First, Guinness is actually a deep red, not black as our good friend Puulaahi notes in his original post. To be honest, I’m not sure what the new pint design is expected to accomplish since Guinness has been perfect since 1759 when Arthur first took the tiny island of Ireland by storm. Second, it doesn’t really taste like coffee…the bitterness you taste is the result of the burnt barley and wheat (which is what not only gives it the dark color, but also locks in the natural vitamins and nutrients of the grain…hence the slogan “Guinness is Good For You”)…if you wanna be a “girl” and drink it without the bitterness, add a little black currant…gives it a sweet flavor…but beware, if you’re a man and order this in a Irish pub, they may take you out back and kick your ass. Third, cashmods is correct in that Guinness has no carbonation because it’s poured using a CO2 and Nitrogen mix (“Guinness Gas”) which is also why the bubbles fall instead of rise.
Finally, while I had no issues falling in love with Guinness from the first sip, I have been told, and have told others, that it’s an acquired taste…learn to appreciate the history, the story, and take a moment to really consider the flavor before making your decision on it. For anyone on the U.S. East Cost, the best pints I’ve found are at Scruffy Murphy’s in Toronto, Canada…any real Irish pub in NYC, and The Dubliner in Washington, DC. Happy Hunting!
