How to pour the perfect pint of Guinness this St Patrick's Day
- Scientists say the two-stage Guinness pour creates the ideal foam by managing nitrogen bubbles in stout.
- Experts recommend pouring at 45 degrees and serving at 42.8°F (6°C) for best results.
- A clean, tulip-shaped glass helps bubbles form and settle for a creamier head.
- Bubbles in Guinness rise slowly; nitrogen keeps them small and stable.
- Experts say wait times vary; some say 60–80 seconds between pours, others suggest longer.
- The glass’ shape drives a convection pattern that moves bubbles down the side.
- A clean glass is essential; dust acts as nucleation points for bubbles.
- The two-stage pour allows foam to settle before the final top-up.
- Guinness nitrogen gives a smooth texture different from CO2 fizziness.
- Experts advise a clean glass and proper serving temperature for quality pours.
