Guinness Pint Masters Crowned
Friday, December 4, 2009 at 8:30AM 
The 2009 Guinness Pint Masters for New Zealand have been crowned. They are Dermot Murphy (middle left) and Finbar Clabby (middle right) from one of my favourite bars, D4 on Featherston Street.
These cheeky chaps won their regional final and then beat the four other regional winners in three heats including the perfect pint pour, Guinness Art and the Guinness Cocktail creation. As well as their lovely trophies (pictured - the harp things, not Jeremy Corbett), they have each won a trip to Dublin to visit the Guinness Brewery in its 250th year. Congratulations to Derm and Fin.

A well deserved win for the lads, well done boys!! UP THE DUBS!!
Oh dear. Is it just because the industrial factory run by Diageo is Far Away that it gets space on this blog which is mostly about good beer?
Good beer? What are you talking about my friend! Guinness is the finest drink on the planet. All that good creaminess with bittery undertones...and less calories than a standard beer. I can absolutely see why Real Beer gave this story space...it takes skill to pour the perfect pint you know...no matter how far away from St James Gate we are!
The two-part pour is a marketing gimmick created by Diageo in the early 1960s when they abandoned cask serve in favour of nitro keg -- to make the punters think they were still getting the same product. If pouring were an actual skill involving more than turning on and off a switch, there wouldn't be widget-can Guinness, nor the new one-shot ball-lock pour method they have in busy venues.
The method of pour makes no difference to how the beer tastes -- a moment's rational thought will tell you that.
And my vote for "the finest drink on the planet" isn't one made from hop extract, roast barley syrup and food-grade lactic acid, then assembled in a facility more resembling a pharmaceutical plant than a brewery, before being served cold, infused with taste-killing nitrogen.
We make much better stouts here in Ireland -- O'Hara's springs immediately to mind -- and most other countries have stouts far better than Guinness too.
How many other stouts have you had, Frewster?
So goode! I like it very much, if can more pictures will be better, if can see you again next article is better, looking forward to your next post-best Bally bags
Thanks for your opinion. I totally agree with it. I like Replica Montblanc watches well and someone is looking for. People usually prefer Replica rador , when they visit some Replica Tudor watches. In some areas, people like to wholesale watches. They will find some store doing very cheap or discounted Replica Montblanc watches. Certainly, designer watches are a good way to earn money. Such as Replica Titoni watches, Replica Gucci watches ,Replica Tissot watches, Replica Casio watches and so on.
Hi, the article is so wonderful, I am interested in it. I will pay attention to your articles.

Their impressive range of jackets are the best bet for battling extreme cold without compromising on your look.World-class quality and inimitable design are the forte of
moncler jackets.There are a number of brands in the market that have showcased smart
canada goose parkas jackets,but the warmth provided is generally compromised on to maintain the look.
