Pouring the perfect pint of Guinness
Since Guinness now flows at my office, I thought it would be nice to make up a nice 'how to' sheet for folks who have never poured it and are only used to domestic microbrews. What you see to the left is my enhanced illustration of an old metal sign image I found online (here's the original). The photo was too small and blurry for printing, so I made a new one in Illustrator. I even illustrated thousands of tiny bubbles to make the settling look right! Finding a vector version of the Guinness Draft logo online made the whole thing pretty easy.
I finished the sheet up by adding a right panel with an Esquire.com interview with Guinness brewmaster Fergal Murray, where he describes the six steps in more detail.
Here is my 'how to' sheet (PDF)
Enjoy!

That’s awesome. It should be put up somewhere public so people can grab it for their own edumucations.

It’s already begun… first, here on IgniteRealtime and via there, Digg. And away this PDF will hopefully spread. Be sure to digg it up!

Oh, cool. They put it on their server. I was thinking about sending it around but I didn’t want to “out” your site. This fixes that.

Dugg. Had to register there to do it. The things I do for people.

Hehe, thanks. Probably a bit late for it to make it very far in the Digg ratings, but who knows. Either way, it’s out there now.
