Dharma Initiative Guinness Pour

We went all out for Lost's 100 Episode with this pour. Things started off small, but quickly took on a life of their own. This is our biggest production so far. Duane designed the logo, Sam, Des, MJ, Duane and Dan worked on the set. MJ worked the camera.

The 90 Degrees in April Guinness Pour

We have had some amazing, unseasonably hot weather the past few days. What better way to enjoy this awesome weather than with an ice-cold Guinness? I of course had to use my 250 Anniversary Stout glass. Don't worry there is still more to blog on that topic.

The 250th Celebration!!!














We kicked off the 250th Celebration of Guinness at Cryan's Ale House and Grill

It was a beautiful evening so we sat out on the deck with friends. The food was great and of course the beverages were excellent! We immediately ordered a round of the 250th anniversary Guinness to try it out. The first sip is when I noticed the change in texture due to the carbonation. It was unlike the regular Guinness I had come to know and love. The flavor however, was smooth and finished clean. I noticed a bit of sweetness within the stout (Dan and MJ said this was because I was chewing gum... perhaps they are right)

I wanted to give a special thanks to the owner of Cryan's who bought us both a Guinness. What a great way to start the night! We now had both kinds Guinness in front of us at the table and were able to compare them.

We ended up at Mannion's Irish Pub for a few more rounds of the 250th. We ordered our drinks and to our surprise, we got collector's glasses! We also came away with free t-shirts and some other swag!

All in all it was a great night and we were happy to join the rest of the world to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Guinness!

Guinness 250 Anniversary Pour

We went out last night to celebrate Guinness' 250 Anniversary. It was an awesome evening. We started out at Cryans. The place was ready to celebrate. There were Guinness girls giving away key chains and shirts and reps from Diageo - Guinness USA there. We got talking with the reps and the owner of Cryans. They agreed to let us get behind the bar and tape a pour of Guinness, and the 250 Anniversary stout. Jason from Diageo did the honors. Thanks so much guys! There is a lot more to blog about but we will give you the video now.

Hot Tub Pour

Nothing is finer than enjoying some Guinness while relaxing in the hot tub. Chilling the Guinness draft cans with ice really made for a nice pour. This video doesn't really show that but we'll get it in.



Make sure you head to your local pub to grab a pint of the Guinness 250 Anniversary stout that comes out today. We will be doing so, and of course documenting it and posting here.

Beer Bread Pour

This is the beginning of MJ's video cooking career. We were inspired to make a beer bread after seeing that Guinness beer bread. This wasn't their official mix, but it sure came out well. We may need to start a MJ cooking with Guinness series.

Watch for the 2 special cameos. Always ready to lend support when there is anything happening with food.

UFC Triple Pour

This pour was done during UFC 97. This may have been the most exciting part of the night! We are planning a much better UFC themed pour. Stay tuned for that.

There is some odd glitch in the video. It's like that on the camera too.
