Bloomsbury presents A Beautiful Pint by Ian Ryan, read by Seán Burke.

The ultimate guide to Guinness and the history, culture, and facts to help you find the perfect pint—from the pub to the pour—wherever you are.

We’ve all got a friend who claims to know where you can get the best pint of Guinness. From the pub to the pour, it’s just as much an experience as it is a drink. But the man who truly knows best is London-based Corkman Ian Ryan – founder of @Sh*tLondonGuinness and @BeautifulPints, and in A Beautiful Pint, he shares his expert tips to help you find it yourself, every time.

Including the all-important elements to look for in a Guinness pour—from exact foam height and storage temperature to the crucial glass shape and settling time—as well as what to run away from when seeking a beautiful pint and a crème de la crème guiding list of pubs in New York and around the world, Ian shares his expertise from many a “pint of plain” sank and enjoyed. By the end of it, you too can guide your friends to the best pint of Guinness in town.

Critic reviews

Beer is, and always has been, a thing of emotional attachment and a sense of place; in A Beautiful Pint, Ian shows how Guinness personifies that for him and so many other people.
This book is a beautiful homage to Guinness but it’s also the story of how we often appreciate our own culture more when we leave home.
The dog needs a bone, and the bone is some Guinness at the end of the day.
This divine brew is so tasty, creamy, so near chocolatey in its rich buzz-giving qualities that the difference between this stuff here and the indifferently poured swill you get where you come from is like night and day. One is beer. The other, angels sing. Celestial trombones.
Like so many things in life, a well-poured pint of Guinness is worth waiting for.
What we do every St. Patty’s day, which is wear green and drink a lot of Guinness... Everyone ends up having to sing a song by the end of it.
