you say its the fosters of the stout world but it'll still be here when all those craft stouts have been and gone. you can throw all the dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla notes you want into it im not drinking ten pints of it.
@Steve Harris I think you'll find it does. Some flagship beers are being phased out. Guinness will never. Craft stout is nice for two or three or at home. Sessionable stout is a massive market and no one as it stands does it better than Guinness. Go have a pint in Ireland and see the difference compared to UK.
I've said this numerous times but living in Ireland I drink Guinness regularly in the pubs and if this machine is used properly it's a better pint than a some of the bars are serving up. It's a great device.
That pint was butchered, Please god read the instruction, you have to tip the can right up so you get no bubbles in the head your can was level and spitting and spluttering the beer out! 2 part pour and the second part turns off the nitrosurge to finish the pint perfectly with no bubbles and a creamier head! Great device if used correctly 👍🏼
Simon, for me you've hit the nail.on the head and I share your opinion. I sat and watched the 6 nations a few weeks a go with the usual Guiness can, and I got the same "syrupy" taste. I bought the nitrosurger today with nitrosurger cans and it tastes a lot creamier and smoother than the standard cans.
Could you redo the video with it poured correctly please? Can was not tilted enough, and no two part pour. Not to be cheeky, but the instructions are in the box. I've found it gives a surprisingly good pint.
as a Guinness fan the glass and pour killed me haha !! I have this device and since getting it all I have drank is Guinness . the perfect draft hasn't been touch in 3 weeks !! and the price is great works out 2 quid a pint !
You switched the device on too early, it only stays on for 30 seconds, could see towards the end of the pour that it wasn’t doing anything. Switch it on just as you’re about to start pouring 👍🏻
I knew even before watching this would be the latest in a long line of not reading the instructions efforts. Fine for a comedy but hardly a proper review of what the unit does. Agree with an earlier comment about the two part pour and pouring last part with light off
If you want to be taken seriously as a Broadcast 'beer' Journalist (you've expressed that you do), you need to use the device as per its design. You've technically invalidated your review because you were to lazy to read the instructions. Otherwise, this will remain a beer-banter channel (which is also fine). To treat the product with such disrespect does you no favours.
I asked on the live would you be doing a review of this. I know you have said you do t really like Guinness but no need to try and do your best to pour a piss poor pint
Put a pint glass, with beer in, into a jewellery cleaner. I think you can use these on a draught can if you pierce the can on the top with a pin, to release the widget. Saves you spending more on the Nitro surge can.
Not to talk out of turn , and don’t shout at me lol 😂 but it says to put on the can first , then turn on , pore two thirds full , wait one minute, then turn around and finish the two part pore . You can hear it and see the surge . 😅
The original Surger plates weren't for using directly on the can: you poured the Surger Guinness into a glass, put that on the (wet) Surger plate, then zapped it with ultrasonic for a few seconds. Still got one, works pretty well and, unlike the Nitrosurge, no cleanup.
@@johnnoon9498 yeah the Guinness Guru on TH-cam mentioned that too; I haven't had a Surger can for ages and he suspects they may all be old stock now. I wonder if the Nitrosurge cans work on the Surger plate? Not crazy about forking out £20-25 if Tesco stop selling the cans after a few months like last time 🙄
My buddy is in Dublin right now and said he will be picking me up one to try sometime next week. I am pretty excited to be one of the only Americans to have this device.
It will it does and I have, regularly done it. You just pin hole the top so the widget doesn't activate, let some gas out of the can then open it and put the device on the top and it activates the nitrogen in the beer in the same way it does with nitrosurge tins.
It works on any nitro cans, if you pierce the top of the can with a pin and let the gas out then attach it and pour as normal. I use it on the likes of Murphy's standard cans and it makes all the difference.
Use a proper glass, do the 2 part pour, enjoy getting that dome on top. If your reviewing a product at least read the instructions first lol. Dont turn it on until your gonna pour it as it turns off surging after a certain time like yours did before you had it all in glass. I use this, and its deff a better pint than regular draught can. A cleaner taste.
Works with the pin trick on the normal draught cans too, can confirm. Works out less than £1 for 440ml can.Exactly the same stuff inside. Try it. Surger is brilliant. I've been very happy the jewelry cleaner hack, but this is next level!
Lol, if you can’t tell the difference in nitro vs a regular can that’s had a pin stuck in it then you’re either very lucky to have no taste buds or probably the opposite as you can’t taste the tasty Guinness in the nitro can.
Oh the humanity in that pour 😢 the nitro surge is fantastic the proper pour the proper glass and it’s a winner I really thought it was a gimmick and was gonna resell but it really surprised me so it’s staying cans a bit pricy but it’s worth it!
And to add to the rest, put the surger on the can and then turn it on when about to pour. It will turn itself off if not used in a number of seconds. I think by the time you put it on and started to pour the light had already gone off. I did not see much of a surge.
Completely ballsed this one up I'm afraid...needs to be on can before pressing the button to activate the guinness. Just wish a bit more care was paid to instructions before reviewing so you do them justice
Glad you enjoyed the Guinness, however when you mentioned the Nitrosurge had just come out at start of review, I knew this was gonna be one of those reviews that gets a lot of comments. I've had this device for about a year and a half. Do a follow up review with the 2 cans you have left after a proper pour and see how it goes.
I was going to ask you to review this but didn't think you'd be worth it, thanks for doing it, I love this little device, straight away pouring great pints.
The phrase "Garbage in, garbage out" springs to mind. I enjoyed many a night on the Guinness when living in Ireland and have the loo roll receipts to prove it. The west Indies and Nigerian exports are completely different beers and are proper stouts. But this is not a stout and no amount of surging will save it
It's a session drink, it's 4%, I don't get an the comparisons with 14% stouts, at least compare an apple v apple. Guinness serves a purpose, you can go out and drink 8 of them
A nice pint of Guinness takes some beating mind 👌 My local Rugby club does an absolute belta and i am obliged to have a few everytime i have the boy at training lol. I have a Nitro and it works very well and better than some pub pints ive had.
I have the original guinness surger ( the disk u mentioned ) the issue with that it u had to buy a tray of 24 cans and they often wouldn't be a long date , once they went past the date they didn't activate as well. Whereas this you'll be buying them in 4 cans at a time. I used this my mate fetched it over , very decent guinness . U need to tilt it nearly upside down towards the end and still do a 2 part pour , but on the second part do not press the button much like when it's poured in a pub. I also have the fizzics which is always used , we used this on other stouts and worked fine too
Hi Simon you may not see this as vid is a year old but thanks for a great channel....just subscribed and am binging on all your content. Just wanted to say I remember getting the original surger as a present from my daughters many years ago...round about 2006/7 ...it was like the one you described in pubs..it plugged into the mains and you put the pint glass of the special surger Guinness on it and pressed a button to energise it. It was very effective but there seemed to be only one supermarket sold the cans (can't remember which one...think it was also Tesco) and eventually even they stopped selling them. So I ended up just throwing it away Anyway keep up the great reviews 😊
The inventor of the system has a great tutorial online…have a watch of that and you’ll improve your pour. Live a pint of the black Fosters….!😅 One thing about nitro-Stout. Other than Creamy Beamy (can you get it on tap on the U.K.?) or Murphy’s, Guinness in my view has never been bettered. It’s too complex for the craft beer crew. Although I admit I haven’t yet tried the Aspnach (sp) London Black. Ps. Dublin Guineas for its price isn’t any better than a good U.K. pub. The Brit’s keep the Protestant Porter just as well. Slainte lads!
I love Guinness, I find it a delicate stout where the quality is almost guaranteed to be good. I hardly ever drink it at home though....I tend to go to Wetherspoons, because they seem to keep it in consistent good condition, ice cold and train staff how to pour it. Talking about Wetherspoons at the end of March they have a massive beer festival, any chance of a video reviewing this? I was surprised at how much better the nitrosurge made the canned Guinness
You should be charged for crimes against Guinness, for how you poured that pint 😂😂 The whole point of that device is to give you a 2 part pour. Not just wallop it into a glass.
@@iskillcorn1 irrelevant. The comment wasn’t made by Simon, but by a viewer. Craft Beer fans tend to value independent beer more than macro beer, like Guinness.
This is perhaps more like the Guinness you'd drink on tap in a pub. Much as I would be tempted it's a little pricey for me and the cans only seem to be available in Tesco currently. I drink Guinness draught cans at home they go down smoothly but for rich flavour I will look elsewhere. This seems to me like a device that soon gets left in a cupboard after the novelty wears off.
Guinness is not a craft beer. It’s very bland and mild by design. It’s very drinkable with some slight coffee/chocolate notes if your looking for them. It is very mild flavoured and will taste like water if your used to drinking craft beers. I love crafty beers but also enjoy a nice creamy pint of Guinness. Nothing goes down as easy and quick as a Guinness imo.
Very good that you poured one without the surger this would be more of the guiness original less creamy and thick... were as the surger makes it like todays guiness either way enjoy both lol
I got myself one, I found it just a gimmick and a good earner for Diageo, did not find much difference between a draught can and the nitro surge, waste of £20 in my opinion.
I was reading up and a review mentions that the Nitrosurge cans in IRE are 4.2% and Tesco ones are 4.1% ..... With the review saying that the 4.2% cans being far better. Anyone had experience of this?
Seen these are in tesco at the moment for £22 for the device and £7 for 4 cans of nitrosurge. Anybody know I'd tesco are planning to range these for a while?
So last week these were on a free standing display unit hence my question. Nipped in to Tesco today and now they look like a permanent fixture as the device and nitrosurge cans were ranged next to the normal cans on the beer aisle. I've pulled the trigger and got a device and tins for my dad.
I've got a major concern about this. I do want one, but knowing Tesco the way I do, as soon as its sold out of the special cans, it will never come back again, making the surger yet another useless paperweight. As long as Tesco keeps stocking it, and then other supermarkets, I'll probably buy one. I dont really care if it will be more expensive then.
if it makes you feel any better, weve had this for over a year in ireland and the cans have never been out of stock and they sell alot of the nitrocans. If we want it to hang around we need to vote with our wallet and keep buying it. at £2 a can, its well worth it for a pint of Guinness that youd get in a middle of the road pub in Ireland.
@@KristianH1986 Well I did buy one anyway. So far, no problems. The device and cans have started to pop up in the other supermarkets now, so I’m more confident.
sorry mate but you messed up the pour imo. First wash the device, stick it on the open can, press the button, wait 5 secs and pour. When you pour, turn the can so it goes over the top so the nozzle is pointing in towards the tilted glass. do a 2 part pour and you get a lovely thick head with a dome above the glass and that creamy taste almost as good as the pub. The instructions are on the can if my description isnt clear. It makes such a difference to do it right with this product. enjoy
Expensive way to drink Guinness at home .I will stick to the Draught cans 15 for £14 at Asda. Bought one to try out to much messing about remember to charge clean after every use clean glass. Another marketing gimmick from Guinness.
Haven't watched yet, but enjoying the comments from the pissed-off Guiness drinkers. Should be a fun review. Would be great if the Guiness Guru made a comment.
@@ZimZimmer2010 Yes special cans, they don’t have a widget inside it’s just a flat can of Guinness filled with nitrogen, the surger unit agitates the nitrogen causing the creamy mouthfeel and head
My god! Read the instructions man. They are on the box and even on the can! Pour with the nozzle close to the glass at a 45 degree angle. Leave to settle then invert the can to a 45 degree. That’s the worst pour I have ever seen.
2 part pour si turn machine on for first pour pour bout 2/3 then let settle then pour the rest but don’t turn machine on this time or wat I do for second pour is take machine off jus pour rest of the can in an u will get dome on top of pint
Insightful review as always Simon , Came for the beer review, and the comments were pretty funny too . Being a Canadian , the Guinness that is available here is not very great , I’m sure even the non- nitro version you have rated is far superior . Cheers! 🍻
What happened to one of the most important tips uve ever gave on the channel ,Very important to have the right glass for the right beer , now uve done the Guinness Nitrosurge ,can you so Brewdog Jet Black in a future video please
You've pissed off the guiness drinkers with that pour 🤣 its the fosters of the stout world get over it lads
I was a beer snob once but then realised everyone enjoys different things!
you say its the fosters of the stout world but it'll still be here when all those craft stouts have been and gone. you can throw all the dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla notes you want into it im not drinking ten pints of it.

@Steve Harris Enjoy having to throw three sticks of dairy milk into your stout to be able to drink it
Nothing wrong with a Fosters. It's cheap, nasty and does the job. Only problem I have with it is the shits it gives me the next day 😂
I've said this numerous times but living in Ireland I drink Guinness regularly in the pubs and if this machine is used properly it's a better pint than a some of the bars are serving up. It's a great device.
Honestly , this is the worst review yet. Not even poured correctly. Watch the official video, you would not do this if it was an independent brewery..
That pint was butchered, Please god read the instruction, you have to tip the can right up so you get no bubbles in the head your can was level and spitting and spluttering the beer out! 2 part pour and the second part turns off the nitrosurge to finish the pint perfectly with no bubbles and a creamier head! Great device if used correctly 👍🏼
Neither of them were butchered, he managed to get the full can into both glasses without any spillage so idk what the problem was?
@@IamBATMAN2024 Butchered is a bit strong.... poured incorrectly would be more accurate.
@@Frorackous Yes, way over the top lol.. I read the comments before watching the vid so I expected to see a 4 finger head or an overflow spillage 😅
Crying inside. 2 part pour is essential
Guinness is way overrated anyway who cares
I've been using mine for over a year now and love it, not quite pub quality but still a lot better than the standard draught cans.
Jesus Christ this video is breaking my heart as an Irish man who love his Guinness

I bought the nitrosurger today with nitrosurger cans and it tastes a lot creamier and smoother than the standard cans.

Could you redo the video with it poured correctly please? Can was not tilted enough, and no two part pour. Not to be cheeky, but the instructions are in the box. I've found it gives a surprisingly good pint.
The comparison needed is between the Nitrosurge cans and the regular Guinness Draught cans with the widget.
Be interesting to see if price difference worth it.

What ?
Bit harsh but true. You have to press it again and do in 2 pours. Ideally in the correct glass. OCD
@@paul_rafteryyou don’t press it again by the way, the second part of the pour is with the device turned off
Frustrating how you don't bother reading instructions, then whine when you don't get expected result. That was shockingly poured
OMG dont go by this fella, wrong glass, wrong pour, wrong technique, just all wrong

But you won't be able to buy the nitrosurge cans in the US so you are wasting your time and money
Now I’m curious to see if this device works on other types of beer cans as well, that aren’t Guinness beers.
It does, anything with nitrogen in. If you use it with carbonated beers it'll cause them to go mental and all over the place.
It won’t! The cans are specially designed with flat nitrogen infused Guinness inside, use it with a normal can of beer and it will just be foam
It will it does and I have, regularly done it. You just pin hole the top so the widget doesn't activate, let some gas out of the can then open it and put the device on the top and it activates the nitrogen in the beer in the same way it does with nitrosurge tins.

Fascinating look into beer gadgets Simon, I had no idea there were even devices that could re-carbonate flat beer.
Completely ballsed this one up I'm afraid...needs to be on can before pressing the button to activate the guinness.
Just wish a bit more care was paid to instructions before reviewing so you do them justice
I’ve bought one and absolutely love it , only slight downside is the price of the cans but only a small downside
would have been an even better pint if you'd bothered to read the instructioons and poured it properly...
Go back and read the instructions and do a two part pour and you will be even more surprised with your pint of Guinness 😉 great video as usual 👍🏻
Mate, you have to pour these properly or the gadget review is pointless
Hello Simon what medication do you take for the Silent Reflux, a friend has it and I said I'd ask, thanking you.
That’s a bad pour that. You need to tilt the can so there’s a steady flow of beer coming through it.
They also have the Guinness Micro Draught System. Costs around £750.
Glad you enjoyed the Guinness, however when you mentioned the Nitrosurge had just come out at start of review, I knew this was gonna be one of those reviews that gets a lot of comments.

These are definitely the surge cans , just 520ml version. I’m in the uk . Could you let me know where I can get the pint cans please 🙏🏻
I wonder if this will work with non widget cans of beer..
you should have done a two part pour with the Guinness pour the first pour up to the harp and let it settle then pour the rest of the can in
Please read the instructions Simon for Christ sake. Everyone knows Guinness is a 2 pour!
Simon and instructions have never been a thing 😂
@@iskillcorn1 kind of embarrassing really, when his whole channel is about reviewing things.....
Tastes exactly the same as the draught cans, an expensive fad that will probably never be mentioned again once the fuss dies down.
Bloody nora Simon read the instructions and or watch a proper demo on YT
Reported for glass and pour. 🤣 I’ve managed to get hold of one and got the cans chilling for a Friday pint.
I might get that Guinness Draught Nitrosurge device.
nice glass Simon!
You're supposed to pour it in 2 stages... That's the whole point.
Mine worked for one day. Then two days later it didn’t work 🤦♂️
Expensive way to drink Guinness at home .I will stick to the Draught cans 15 for £14 at Asda. Bought one to try out to much messing about remember to charge clean after every use clean glass. Another marketing gimmick from Guinness.
Which other stouts would you choose over Guinness ?
RTFM. 😂. You made a bollix of that as we say in Dublin
That first gadget would make an effective ladies' toy. Maybe give it a wash before putting it in your beer.
Haven't watched yet, but enjoying the comments from the pissed-off Guiness drinkers. Should be a fun review. Would be great if the Guiness Guru made a comment.
Simon you’ve pissed a lot of people off with this video 😂
Great review Simon , you should use that device on other types of stout cans and see if it works on them , and video it 👍
yours looks alot better than this other guy I saw using it
Guinness cans come with a widget in that adds the nirto, isn’t it the same thing, as the cans you used didn’t have the widget
Yes it is. Use the pin trick
How does the Nitrosurge compare against a widget Guinness can?
It’s much better..as close to a pub pint you can get at home
Loads better
I never seen a difference myself
@@MegaBagera I haven't watched the whole video but do you have to use special cans with the Nitrosurge. If so what's special about them?
@@ZimZimmer2010 Yes special cans, they don’t have a widget inside it’s just a flat can of Guinness filled with nitrogen, the surger unit agitates the nitrogen causing the creamy mouthfeel and head
Don’t really get how this is better than the 440ml guiness cans that have the widget in them?
My god! Read the instructions man. They are on the box and even on the can!
Pour with the nozzle close to the glass at a 45 degree angle. Leave to settle then invert the can to a 45 degree.
That’s the worst pour I have ever seen.
2 part pour si turn machine on for first pour pour bout 2/3 then let settle then pour the rest but don’t turn machine on this time or wat I do for second pour is take machine off jus pour rest of the can in an u will get dome on top of pint
That's the closest you will get to a pint of Guinness in Ireland 🇮🇪
You didn't turn it on!!! The harp lights up when it's on and you have to press the power button.
I’m still waiting for the review of O’hara’s nitro stout!
Oh no, That Pour!!!
Never drinking nitro-looking beer again, just in case.
Insightful review as always Simon ,
Came for the beer review, and the comments were pretty funny too .
Being a Canadian , the Guinness that is available here is not very great ,
I’m sure even the non- nitro version you have rated is far superior .
Cheers! 🍻
What happened to one of the most important tips uve ever gave on the channel ,Very important to have the right glass for the right beer , now uve done the Guinness Nitrosurge ,can you so Brewdog Jet Black in a future video please
shocking poor jesus. so many bubbles and no 2 part pour
Simon never reads instructions properly!
Gimmick. Compare it to the cans of draught Guineas and I bet it tastes the same.
Nitro = Better
