Mastering the perfect pour

If you have spent time as a bartender or server, you will know that pouring the perfect beer isn't as easy as it might look. When it comes to mastering the perfect pour of Guinness, it's even trickier.

From the perfect angle to hold the glass at, to slight hand movements to create the perfect head, and the vital two-part pour, Padraig doesn't hold back in this lesson. If you are a bartender or server who wants to perfect their pour when it comes to Guinness, don't slack off at this stage - it's time to get your angles and timing right.
