Believe it or not, Guinness can be an excellent mixer.

Flying Guinness

While some beer lovers may scoff at the idea, I’m sure they’ll be interested in a Flying Guinness. All you do is pull half a pint of Guinness into a glass. Use an upside down spoon to help separate the beverages as you slowly pour in a Red Bull. It will look like a Black and Tan, but feels like an energy drink. The taste is really better than you think, so order one up the next time your yawning over your first drink.

How To Pour A Guinness

Part of being able to enjoy Guinness is a good pull. Guinness has such a rich texture partly because the beer is not carbonated. Guinness’ bubbles are nitrogen, which are smaller than carbon dioxide (carbonation) and that helps the beverage keep a thick, full body. Guinness should be served with a rich, creamy head. Most bartenders like to pull the beer form the tap down the side of the glass until it’s about ¾ full, then straighten the glass and pull straight in.

A Black and Tan is a delicious way to cut the strength of a Guinness.

Pull half a pint of British ale into a glass, and then pull Guinness over a spoon so it settles on top of the ale. Bass and Harp work great.

There’s also the British favorite, the Guinness Shandy:

Mix half a pint of Guinness with half a pint of lemonade. This works with most beers, and is really refreshing.
