The Guinness Tip Test

The Guinness Tip Test allows us to measure the quality of the black stuff across the country! Once your Guinness has settled, simply tip your pint so the head nearly pops out of the glass. If the black stuff holds steady for at least 3 seconds without spillage you have a great pint! Take a photo and click 'Submit a Guinness Tip' on the right hand side!
