Another surge we don't want
Check this out: Guinness has released this new thing The Surger, which is an ultrasonic pulsing plate onto which you put a pint of Guinness so that it will create a foamy head just like real Guinness draft. Of course, to have this wonderful machine you need to buy it as part of a kit, and oh yeah the beer you use in it is different (in what way they don't say) from regular Guinness so you need to buy the special refills.
Couldn't you get the same effect by pouring a can into the glass normally?Labels: beer

Thanks for bringing this latest Diageo idiocy to my attention. What you didn't mention is that it's 17BP (!) for the "starter kit" at Tesco stores in the U.K.
I used this as a topic for my beer blog at thatsthespirit.com. Attributed, of course.
Comes in a can here in Oz. It's placed in a half cup affair under the false pump handle and vibrated or ultra sounded, Bit of a shock if you're expecting the real thing, The head is very pale, Idea is I suppose to be able to serve it faster to compete with faster served beer. Not sure of taste quality due to shock, Will try another and maybe report back. Slan
