Publicans from some of the country’s best-known bars have rubbished a claim that a double-pour Guinness is nothing more than a “marketing ploy”.
Earlier this month, Nate Brown, an Irish bartender who owns a cocktail bar in London, said the resting time between the first and second pour of a pint of Guinness does nothing to contribute to the “perfect pint.”
“There is no need for the two-part pour, as it does not add to the taste or quality of the pint,” he wrote in FT Magazine.
Many Irish publicans were quick to disagree.
Ciaran Kavanagh, who runs John Kavanagh’s Gravediggers pub in Glasnevin, Dublin, said: “We would never be seen to do that. It doesn’t make any sense for presentation, consistency or reliability.”
He said the two-part pour adds more stability to the head of a pint, which could not be achieved in the same way with a single pour.
The sixth-generation publican’s father worked in the Guinness brewery in Dublin and taught his children the precise science behind pouring the perfect pint of Guinness.
