Canadian pub pours a “sacrilegious” pint of Guinness

A pub in Vancouver, Canada, has become the target of worldwide wrath after after using a photo of the world’s most badly poured pint of Guinness to promote Saint Patrick’s Day. Look at the state of this:

@GuinnessIreland please do not supply anymore Guinness to @RailtownCafe just for this alone pic.twitter.com/vsBpmWHpPq

As you can guess, this heinous looking pint incurred the fury of Guinness lovers from around the globe.

@RailtownCafe @Ireland is watching. Is this how pints are in Canada? #Paddysday #Ireland #massacred pic.twitter.com/mQuMRDxzc2

That pint looks like it had 16 pints on St Patrick's Day and struggled to keep them down! That and calling it St Pattys! @RailtownCafe pic.twitter.com/XAERYYlcqj

The Irish Independent also got involved, calling the pint “sacrilegious”.

The pub owner admitted to CBC that it wasn’t the best pint ever poured.

“It was coming out of a can. It was frothing over the tip… instead of cascading up to have a nice proper head like Guinness is supposed to, it was a mess. We really annoyed an entire country. We actually do know how to pour a Guinness. It was a mistake and we take full responsibility for it.”

After all this “feedback” the pub put out a rather brilliant apology (and offered free drinks).
