Pouring a pint of Guinness is a sacred art — get it wrong and the creamy goodness just won’t be the same. So in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, our resident design expert Ryan created a guide (below) to creating the perfect Guiness pint.
One thing we never realized is that actually getting a Guinness keg hooked up can be a huge PITA. However, after four store visits (parts), an overnight package delivery (tap handle), and courier service (correct nitro gauge), the Jive office is very happy.

For the perfect pint - Step 5, I think the top up pour is done by pushing on the tap handle rather than pulling it.
Mmmm…An office Guinness tap. I am SOOO jealous!
Tony - You are correct sir!
Now does anyone know the trick to making the clover?
