Well according to the Irish the Railton Cafe in Vancouver either need to learn how to pour a pint of the black nectar or stop selling it as they are butchering it and then even posting pictures of their poured pint of Guinness.
But it doesn't end here the offending picture found in the link was actually a pint of Guinness poured from a CAN FFS how is this establishment allowed to serve alcohol.

So those from BC who might be touring the Emerald Isle in the near future don't tell them that you drink Guinness in Vancouver

After tasting Guinness in Dublin and realizing how much smoother and nicer it is. I would never drink a Guinness here...
That photo is awful. I laughed at the comment made by the guy on how the pint 'looks like it has already drank 16 pints of the stuff'

Making me thirsty!
Original photo is terrible, but I suppose whoever staged it, just didn't know.
I sometimes get the can variety at home and they come out very well.

It doesn't look altogether wholesome does it?
Given that we are in Canada, I'm going for fried Mars Bars....very keen on a healthy snack here
Do you think they need to employ someone in their marketing department?

The link from that story shows the right way to pour it. I was always taught that it's a 3 stage pour, never less.

And on top of all that I always thought that Murphys was the better pint anyway.

That was a woman's pint of Guinness for St. Patricia's Day...

Whislt on the subject of serving Guinness offensively.... sadly its not just BC...ive seen equally offensive things done in Ontario.... one of which was.......
Serving Guinness in a PITCHER!!!!! and even worse....ASKING for a pitcher of Guinness!!



and the same old crap about drinking it at room temperature??? WTF????
The pitcher was the best though! words failed me.

Guinness used to be hugely variable in London, until Guinness themselves realised there was a problem and sent a training team round teaching everyone how to pour guinness. That needs to happen here, but I don't really drink the stuff regularly to care properly.
