Special Polish Travel Advisory: Buying Guinness In An Irish Pub

Travel Advisory
Special to BeerBlog.pl

We understand that BeerBlog.pl is focused on Polish beer and news, but some of you may need this info during your holiday travels this summer...Here is an excerpt (click on full article link below):

1 Choose your pub carefully. A pint of Guinness does not appreciate loud music,loud people or bright flashing lights.

2 Ask politely for a pint of Guinness. Depending on the pub, it is possible to catch the barmans eye and mouth the word "pint", he will translate this accurately.

3 The barman will fill the glass between 70% and 80% capacity. It will then be put to the side for a few moments to allow it "to settle". Once the brownish liquid has almost turned to a solid black the barman will then fill the rest of the glass. NB: do not under any circumstances take the glass before it is filled. Some virgins seem to think that the settling stage is the final stage and walk away with an unfinished pint. At this point we Irish DO understand the predicament, but I assure you it causes endless mirth as well.
