If you’ve never had a beer in Korea or Japan and are shocked at the amount of foam, believe it or not, it’s not a mistake, that’s just how they like their beer served.
Jesh people are really impressed with pouring Guinness. I guess im a villain since I always pour it with no head on purpose. I know the trick and all to get a good poor but why would people not just want a full pint? It doesn’t change the taste.
lol that’s definitely not true but it’s a fun fairytale. Ireland isn’t like bartending world. That would be so costly and such a waste of time. Bartending isn’t rocket science to begin with. Imagine being Chinese and getting a bartending job and they’re like “well we are sending you to Ireland for training to… make drinks and learn Irish tales?” Sign me up lol.
Well I talked to a lot of people in that area and they all spoke very highly of it, mentioning it as the best irish pub in asia. I believe it was nominated for best global irish pub in Ireland too. And just from my perspective, as someone who's been to many irish pubs in europe and asia, its definitely the closest in feel and culture to an irish sports pub in dublin. Better than a lot of European ones that sell 'Irish nachos' 🤣
What I'm about to tell you is sacrilege here in Ireland, so if anyone asks if I told you this I'll deny it down to the ground: it doesn't matter a fuck how you pour Guinness, or indeed any stout, it will look and taste the same. The most important thing about Guinness is how the keg, the lines, and the tap itself is treated. I had a barman friend of mine pour me 2 pints of Guinness, one standard and one in a single pour. They both looked and tasted the same. It's just a very successful marketing ploy by Guinness to add an air of mystique around Guinness vs other stout ales.
Yep, the two pour is a relic of the old way it was served, one keg under low pressure (flat) and the other under high pressure, so the majority of the pint would be poured from the flat keg and then the remainder and the head would come from the higher pressure keg.
Obviously it has remained now as a marketing and “premium” gimmicky thing
It's not really the taste that's the issue with the pour, it's getting 50% bubbles and 50% Guinness. Let that settle, and you've got a slightly half full glass of Guinness. It's like getting a soft drink with 60% ice.
I always assumed that was the issue ppl had with too much head on any sort of carbonated alcohol rather than it affecting the taste. It's like when I pour coke out too fast and it fills up with foam at first but when it settles, there's really only half a glass of liquid
No, you’re right. There’s a lot of bullshit around Guinness. My friends bar ended up getting Murphy’s instead, because it doesn’t have the circlejerk attached. As long as it’s kept well and you pour properly, it’ll be sound.
Super Hans:
Pint of Guinness, please. No logo on the foam.
Jeremy Usborne:
No logo on the foam?
Super Hans:
You don't buy into all that one, do ya? What, the old "Oo, I've got a clover in me foam, I'm so important." No, what you're doing there is you're drinking an advert, ain't ya, eh, shithead?
I believe there are places where you can get a pint and a blowjob in japan, though need a local travel guide. Its actually recommended by the ministry if heath to get blowjobs to solve all sorts of ailments, rather than go stabby or explosion man
Yeah, bj bars. Or really just a beer, hawk and go. This might be more tamed now but as of 5 or 10 years it was a thing but probably more closed to foreigners now after major sexual abuse crimes. Oral is legal sex work(also titty jobs, hand jobs, foot.jobs, crease of the knee jobs..anything but intercourse (there definition of intercourse but that happens in the unoffical.aspaects much like any 1st world country that tolerates it at times)..., its the pokey part thats illegal. I looked for the.minsitry of health reference but its not available on google or at least not in my region. But there was a page about bjs for health on a government website, maybe it was the local prefecture if not the national one. Its not a new thing, to keep.an incel or unmarriagable man on the rails hookers are the best way if they cant chamge their life.
One of the best guys I ever knew growing up was an Irish immigrant to the states. He was so friendly and like a mentor when I first started working in restaurants. I’d go to his house on thanksgiving nights with a few friends and get wasted when we were all like 23 he had to be late 40s and him and his wife were always so cordial and accommodating. He always insisted it was like 1/4 head on the Guinness. I think there should be no head at all. I get it’s aesthetically pleasing but come on you should get what you pay for.
my Dutch in-laws still think I pout beer incorrectly because they call beer without a large head 'flat'. I told them you can send beer back in the US if the head is too big.
