Centuries old Guinness mystery solved by Irish researchers -VIDEO

I thought you all knew that or I would have told meself. You don’t think that pint glass got that shape all by itself for no reason do you. Mr. Guinness knew what he was doing with the stout and the glass. I will continue to study my Guinness glass and bubbles as long as it doesn’t slow down me drinking.

These Limerick lads really need to get out in the fresh air more often.Who cares a Tinkers curse how the bubbles get there as long as they keep gettin there. I've got the thirst on me now so Slainte!

My brother-in-law and husband have been saying this for years. I cannot believe they have just found this out. It must have cost a fortune in this research. We have a couple of these glasses and it is quite true that it is the shape of the glass. By the way, husband and brother-in-law are Irish and have sunk quite a few Guinness.

A couple of years ago I read a book 'In Search of the Perfect Guinness' written by a couple of Aussies. Utterly delightful reading and has made me want to visit Ireland and try some of the places mentioned therein. I sure hope they subscribe to Irish Central. I think they'd enjoy this article, and I'll be searching for the "perfect glass" when I finally make the trip.

The canned stuff will never make a perfect pint.

I could not understand how this fell'a could talk for 9 minutes and seventeen seconds and not drink a drop,until he admits to us at the end he doesn't drink Guinness.

Mike Todd, legendary movie director and erstwhile husband of Elizabeth Taylor, was wont to say: "Never take 'em back stage." This "scientific" study has now taken away the "wonder of it all . . . ."

Didn't want to see the video, but found it interesting and informative. But.. I don't care. It's my drink of choice and if they mentioned Arthur's cat peed in the first batch, I wouldn't mind.

and what happens when a different kind of glass is used?

who cares. My husband loves it no matter how the bubbles get to where they are going. Big waste of money for a poor country.

Works for me!

Grand!
