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.
