Ever wonder why a can of Guinness can sometimes pour better than the pub tap? 🍺 The answer lies in a piece of product design genius: the nitrogen-charged widget hidden inside every can. In this episode, we break down the brilliance of the perfect pour—from the widget’s role in infusing nitrogen, to the counterintuitive straight-down pour, to the tulip-shaped glass that unlocks the legendary cascade effect.

Guinness has turned what looks like ordinary packaging into a masterclass in iterative innovation, collaborative design, and user experience engineering. Whether you’re a beer lover, a product designer, or part of a team looking for inspiration, the story of Guinness in a can is proof that great design solves problems we didn’t even know we had.

👉 In this video, you’ll learn:

How the Guinness widget changed beer forever.

Why you shouldn’t tilt your glass when pouring Guinness.

The role of the tulip pint glass in delivering the perfect creamy head.

What teams, innovators, and Agile practitioners can learn from a stout in a can.

Raise your glass (responsibly — we support no underage drinking and encourage moderation always) and join us as we toast to brilliant design, smooth pints, and lessons in innovation.
