Telegraph: Bubbles in Guinness ‘go down not up’ say scientists Guinness, in the best Irish tradition, does things differently. The bubbles in a freshly poured pint appear to be cascading down the side of the glass – yet the creamy top which is the drink’s trademark remains. Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry set

Ever since Ron posted his video on making a Black & Tan back in ’06 (then the updated version in ’08) “how to pour a black & tan” has been the most popular search term leading visitors to Hop Talk. Additionally, the traffic here really ramps up this time of year, peaking on St. Patrick’s

We had company over this evening, so the wife pulled out all the stops, including baking some cupcakes made with Guinness. Delicious. They were moist and delicious. My wife, who doesn’t like stout, loved them. We found the recipe at Big City, Little Kitchen cupcakes (makes about 2 dozen) 1 cup Guinness Stout 1 stick,

I’ve been experimenting with different black and tans lately. I am looking for the perfect “tan” to go with the creamy, sweet, and not very strong tasting, Guinness. I’ve heard all the arguments between Harp, Bass, and what is “authentic”, but what I am looking for is what tastes the best. I have tried some

Beer-a-Day #220 To mark the 250 year anniversary of the signing of the lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery by Arthur Guinness, we introduce a special commemorative stout. This premium recipe provides a refreshing taste, which underlies the complex flavor of stout. I guess I’m a little behind the times on this. Better late than

Thanks. I’m sure Ron enjoyed the heck out of making this video. He never did tell me how many takes he needed to get it right.

First take, but I told my wife it took 6 tries.

Went through a 6 back of both before I got it. After 6 tries, went to the internet, followed your video and taadaa, got it in one. Thanks

We’re glad you found it helpful. Although, experimenting like you did doesn’t sound too bad, either.

Glad you liked it. I get a heck of a beating on You Tube comments for not turning the spoon upside down. My mug was not the best vessel to show off the separation either.

I tried this twice, and was not able to get it right. I used the large bottle of Guinness, not the Can or the bottle with the nitro ball thing… Is there a difference?

I see you make the traditional Bass/Guinness black and tan. I’m wondering if anybody else has tried variations with American brews. I’ve tried a number of combinations. My current favorite pairs Magic Hat #9 with Brooklyn Brewery’s Black Chocolate Stout.

I doubt any self-respecting Irishman would drink a Black and Tan at all.

That’s “All For Me Grog” a traditional Irish drinking song. You can find it all over the place. One such place is a CD creatively titled “Irish Drinking Songs”.

I was wondering about temperature…does it make a difference. I enjoy my beer cold, also would a frosted mug discourage a fine poor?

REQUIRED: Guinness can Draught and Bass in bottle, 2 pilsner glasses and one table spoon.
Pour one half of one Bass into each Pilsner glass, holding them at a 45 degree angle. You should pour with the intent of ending with a head of beer approximately an inch tall and evenly divided between glasses.
Place glasses flat and open Guinness draught can. Hold spoon at low angle near side of glass and immediately begin to pour Guinness over the back of the spoon into the first glass. Quickly share between the two glasses. Finish each glass by pouring Guinness “up” the spoon by forcing the beer towards the handle and raising the can to get the Guinness to foam.
I have had it explained that Guinness is charged with nitrogen and other beers are carbonated and that makes for the viscosity difference. Regardless, I have poured hundreds of these and I can get two, distinctively cut, Black and Tans or Half and Halves using this method.
Maybe I will figure out how to post the video. I am old though and not that cool… until I pour a great Black and Tan and then everybody loves me.
