Drink

1 pint Guinness Draught (or other stout)

0.25 cup Cold water (optional, for rinsing glass)

Optional Garnish / Variation

1 piece Lemon wedge (for garnish)

0.5 tsp Salt (for glass rim, optional)

Drink

1. Chill and prepare glass

If desired, chill the pint glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes beforehand. Rinse the glass briefly with cold water and shake out excess — this helps maintain head formation and keeps the pint colder.

2. Pour the Guinness (traditional two-part pour)

Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle under the tap or can/sur draft spout. Begin pouring and aim for the middle of the glass. Fill to about three-quarters full (just below the harp logo on branded glasses). Let the beer settle until the surge of nitrogen and carbon dioxide forms a distinct creamy head and the liquid appears to settle (typically 60–90 seconds).

3. Top off

When settled, push the glass upright and finish the pour by topping off with a straight pour until the head domes slightly above the rim of the glass without overflowing. A proper head is about 1–1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm) thick and creamy.

4. Serve

Serve immediately at cellar-to-fridge temperature (about 45–55°F / 7–13°C). If using a lemon wedge or salted rim variation, rub the rim lightly with the wedge and dip in salt, or place the lemon on the side of the glass.
