Yesterday MJ got an early birthday present. A Kodak Zi6. The Zi6 is comparable to those Flip video cameras, but HD. They have some HD models too, but the Zi6 is suppose to have the best picture of them all paige davis pokies. It shoots at 720p so isn’t quite true HD but it’s nice for what it is.
Enough with all that here is the pour. We tried out the macro mode. It’s pretty cool.

Last week, we got an email from a Guinness representative who had discovered our videos on YouTube. We were invited to join the Guinness 250, an “elite group” of 250 Guinness aficionados. We gladly accepted, and anxiously awaited our welcome packets. On Friday, the FedEx box arrived. We got more than we expected! We were positively giddy to see the letter and certificate of membership signed by Fergal Murray, Guinness Brewmaster. We also received this cool stuff:
Guinness Swag
And these awesome Canterbury rugby shirts:
Guinness Rugby Shirts
So of course we had a celebratory pour:
And put the bottle opener to good use:
Thank You Guinness!

I would like to congratulate Mr. Shark on his retirement after over 10 years of service on my keychain. Mr. Shark has worked hard and is a trusted bottle-opener, always ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
We wish him well as he sets off to retire in warm and sunny Panama City, Florida (actually the junk drawer in my kitchen). We will of course, always consider bringing him back for consulting opportunities if he can find time in between his bingo games.
His successor is the sleek, new Guinness bottle-opener keychain that I received from our friends at Guinness! Thanks guys, and be sure that I’ll be putting it to good use!
Cheers!

We’ve been obsessed with the game of Cornhole this Spring/Summer. It’s a simple, fun game. It was introduced to us by a friend from Indiana, but seems to be gaining popularity everywhere. If you haven’t played give it a try, and be sure to drink a vigrx plus dosage Guinness while playing. It’s good to have a beer in your hand when your throwing the bags, keeps you balanced. Check it out at http://americancornhole.org. We need to get us some Guinness themed boards, that would be sweet!

Guinness is not the only beer that comes in a “pub can”. Boddingtons is one such beer. We are going to put each of these beers in a “head to head” battle with Guinness.
So why is Guinness the winner? At first it looked like Boddingtons was going to hold things down well. There was a good surge going on in that pint. Guinness really had a challenge on it’s hands. As we can see Boddingtons was all bark with no bite. It quickly became apparent that Boddingtons used up all it’s energy right away. What kind of settling was that? Guinness is still settling strong while Boddingtons is done. Guinness is a strong contender and Boddingtons sure didn’t bring enough to the table to defeat it’s prowess in this arena.
Guinness Always a Winner!

Hey we are still around we’ve been slacking a little with the videos. We have a few lined up over the next couple days.
This pour is done by my brother vigrx plus generic. He came for a visit and I had to get him to do a pour video. He did it and here it is.

Guinness Ice Cream
With Memorial Day coming the Summer season is upon us. Why not cool off with some Guinness Ice Cream? We were inspired to make some based on some tweets we saw. Below is a video of us making some and the recipe we used. We looked at a bunch of different recipes and used our ice cream making experience to come our with our own.
Guinness Ice Cream
12 oz Guinness draught beer (not quite a whole draught can)
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1.5 Cups Milk
1 Cup Sugar
3 Egg yolks
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoons Vanilla
- Pour Guinness, Heavy Cream, Milk, 1/2 cup sugar and molasses into a medium saucepan and heat on the stove, Med to Med-Hi heat. Heat until almost boiling. Stir often.
- Whisk egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- When the cream mixture is hot, spoon small amounts into the yolk mixture and stir, to raise its temperature.
- Slowly pour yolk mixture into cream mixture on the stove. Stir constantly. Cook until mixture sticks to the back of your spoon. Try to keep it from boiling.
- Cool mixture till it is cold. This can be done with a few hours in the fridge, or in about 30 minutes using an ice bath.
- Pour mixture into your ice-cream machine following the manufactures instructions.
- Though it will be quite yummy right away it will solidify nicely in the freezer for a few hours.

We made it. It’s our fourth pour in the four part Star Trek series. This glass feature Kirk, with the Enterprise cruising the galaxy in the background. I think Kirk would definitely approve of our use of his glass. Too bad there weren’t any Orions around to volume pills vs semenax do the pour.
To be honest we were a bit disappointed with the surge/settling action on these pours. It shows how important it is to use a tulip shaped or “pub” glass when you are pouring your Guinness.
