Can's of Guiness

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Do they always contain a small white ball which is too big to get through the hole? or is mine special?

I don't think the one I had earlier had one but I'm not to sure.

its a widget

Yeah its in most canned smooth bitters/stouts. It makes it pour properly or something I don't really know.

oh ok, i was getting scared in case it was going to poison me or something

Floating widget, its meant to give it a head like draught. You can get cans with or without here at least.

No, unless its part of a wider plan to get us all, you're grand.

On second thoughts, I think it might be so that you can drink it straight from the can and it mixes upwards properly as if it had settled in a glass. Or something.

Can is of Guiness ?
Are they, perhaps, related to cans of Guinness? The spelling is similar, though without the apostrophe between "can" and the "s", and the Irish spell Guinness with two 'n's.

The Irish probably can also work out that there is a ball that releases gas into the beer, as the can pressure is released while opening it.

There is a new Guiness system on its way into the shops that I tried recently. You need to buy a special mains powered ultrasonic pad that you put the glass on when you pour from the special cans. But of a gimick, and not cheap, but it looks good!

It's called a widget. They're designed to remove all flavour from beer, a bit like a sparkler on a hand pump. One of the side affects is a thick head.

Does canned Guinness have any flavour to start with?

I don't really like drinking out cans, but I went to a newsagent and I didn't have a bottle opener, so I had to have cans.

Use a disposable lighter. Or your teeth, if you want to look really tough.

An 11am trip to M+S in Wimbledon to buy a sarnie about 7-8 years ago was interrupted by a lady asking me to step this way and drink beer. Unwittingly, I was one of the first people to drink beer poured from a floating widget can and I had to comment as to whether it put me off the beer etc. It didn't.

Ducky Fuzz! The whole purpose of the draftflow widget ('the small white ball') is that you have to pour it into a glass within a minute or two of opening the can or the contents go flat. Once you open the can the pressure release drives the ball from the top to the bottom supposedly re-creating the effect of a beer poured (into a glass!) from a draft tap.

The widget can seems to have replaced the syringe bottle entirely - six packs of Guinness bottles used to come with a syringe where you basically injected the head somehow - I'm guessing it was nitrogen but an actual Guinness drinker can correct me there.

Wondered why there was a strange widget in the thread title.
