Subject: New gig - proper pour technique for Kilkenny draught?
From: Dano_
Posted: Fri Aug 26. 2005, 22:37 UTC
Hey guys,

I've started training for a new gig at a busy irish pub that obviously has a 
lot of draught beer on tap.  Because my previous places haven't had 
Guiness/Kilkenny/Smithwick's on tap, I'm looking to those who know for 
information on the proper pour technique for these beers?

I've read up on how to pour a Guinness, so nobody needs to explain that (or 
bitch that I didn't use the 'Search' function  ;)   .... but I'm wondering, 
especially for Kilkenny, does the same protocol for letting the beer settle 
before back-pouring the remainder apply to the others?

I've been observing fellow tenders for the Kilkenny just forward-pull the tap 
down until full.  No resting and then pushing the tap backward to fill.

I'd appreciate input about proper technique from those who have 
Guinness/Kilkenny/Smithwick's on tap!


Thanks!
