Did you know that it takes 5 minutes to pour a pint of Guinness? That is, it does if you’re pouring it correctly.

I have always thought this to be true with any beer. It bugs me when going to a restaurant and I get a beer with too much head so at the end I get cheated. Here is the perfect way to pour a Guinness.

1. Start with a tulip-shaped pint glass that’s clean and dry. Tilt the glass to a 45-degree angle under the tap and pour until the glass is three-quarters full.
2. Let sit for several minutes to let it settle. The beer should be black and flat.
3. After it’s settled, fill the glass the rest of the way. No need to tilt the glass anymore; you want to create the signature foamy head on top. It’s okay if some foam spills over the side — that means you’ve got it full enough!
4. Enjoy.

Is the Guinness really better in Ireland? I have heard this a number of times and have always questioned if it is true or not. The biggest reason why I thought it was false was because I couldn’t understand why a brewing company would export a nasty version of their best tasting beer it made no sense.

I did a little research by asking a few people at pubs, and here’s what I came up with:

• The popularity of the drink in Ireland means that kegs aren’t sitting around long. Therefore, the Guinness is almost always fresh — and certainly more fresh than overseas since it doesn’t have to travel as far.

• The lines are cleaner — pub owners in Ireland are visited every three weeks by a Guinness representative who flushes the lines to Guinness kegs.

• Guinness should be served at room temperature — an oddity to us who associate the pleasures of beer drinking with its coolness on a hot day. I’ve noticed that most bars in the States tend to chill their Guinness along with the rest of their beers, which definitely changes the flavor of it.

I recently entered my favourite ritzy restaurant and while sitting at my regular table, I noticed a gorgeous woman sitting all alone at a nearby table.

I called the waiter over and asked for their best bottle of Merlot to be sent over to her, knowing that, if she accepts it, she is mine.

The waiter gets the bottle and quickly brings it over to the woman, saying this is from the gentleman over there. She looks at the wine and sends a note over to me.

Her note reads:
“For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank, and seven inches in your pants.”

I, after reading her note, chuckled, and sent a note of my own back to her.

My note read:
“Just so you know, I happen to have a Ferrari Testarosa, a BMW 850 and a Mercedes 600 SL in my garage. I have over twenty-five million dollars in the bank. But not even for a woman as beautiful as you would I cut three inches off.

JUST SEND THE BOTTLE BACK.”

Yesterday i put up a new header for the website. The old one seemed really lame to me and had nothing to do with beer. So i went for a better approach on this one using the alcoholic in me and help from my co-workers Griff and Bang. The design is very simple the header background is a cold beer, on the left a beer-ligion tall mug, in the middle a a few beer words, and on the right i have Hops.

I wanted the background to look like a nice cold beer that had with just the right amount of head that it would make you want to drink up.

The tall beer mug with the Beer-ligion label is inspired by Guinness. Guinness is a good tasting beer and looks great and tempting, it is also the brewer of one of my favorite beers Harp.

The center quote right now says: “Give a man a beer he’ll drink for 5 min. Show him where they’re at he’ll drink all day.”  This might change from time to time still not sure how often ill update it but it will change.

The Hops on the left represent one of the ingredients in brewing beer.

I hope everyone enjoys the new header and I hope it looks good enough that it will make you have a beer.
