It’s a common challenge when drinking Guinness in a Guinness glass you need to in your first sip drink down as close to the middle of the g on the glass as you can.
Someone explain it to a filthy native as well
First time I’ve heard of this challenge.
In the pub about 3 weeks ago and this came up “ya have to split the G man”..
No…You have to shut the fuck up and let a man enjoy his pint.
Stupid gimmicky bollocks.
Schtick is some nonsense that came from an instagram account
haven’t heard the Shtick one, but splitting the G has been around for a while.. Managed to do it myself a few times…
I always had it with a friend we’d aim for the line landing between the harp and the Guinness text. It’s a bit of fun I wouldn’t be going on about it overmuch
Things Guinness drinkers say to try sound interesting
Feckin south side millarkey. Just drink the danm pint!
Ireland Simpsons Fans is a mene page that uses old Simpsons quotes and images that a lot of young Irish people grew up with to joke about Irish things.
About 4/5 years ago the page began to drop off massively as the moderation team began to reveal themselves as a bunch of weirdos and freaks and tried to push politics into everything. They even tried (and failed) to set up a political party. One of the mods likes to wank in SUs and or libraries.
Splitting the G is a challenge among Guinness drinkers to get the black line exactly in line with the flat bit of the G in the first go. Has been a thing for a while but Guinness has become more popular now among younger people so it’s new to most people.
The schtick is some new nonsense about the cream sticking to the side of the glass being an indicator of a good pint. People used to reckon that a ring of cream stuck to the side for every mouthful is a sign of a good pint but I hate the word “schtick”. I think the Guinness Guru coined it.
Same with “domage”. That’s basically how much cream is sitting on the top above the level of the glass. That’s just determined by how long the pint was sitting before the final pour and how full the barman/woman filled it.
Genuine Guinness drinkers enjoy the drink, not all the trendy judgemental nonsense that Guinness now has, although it is great marketing
Never fucking heard of it.
Playing games with your pint. What sort of ridiculousness is this now?
Any proper Guinness drinker knows that the only correct way to drink a pint of Guinness is to shut the fuck up, stop your messing and appreciate it in silence.
Guinness Golf / Splitting the G:
This is when you gulp your pint in such a manner that the division between the head (foam) and the beer lines up between the ‘G’ on the glass. Some people do it in one large gulp. Some people are particular about their rules, but it’s the same concept
Sthick:
Some argue that a good pint, served in a good glass, and with all things going well, will lead to a light film of foam on your glass. This is experienced when you’ve drunk from the glass and the film of foam remains.
Sounds like two lads arguing over a twentyfive bag of grass in the smoking area of a rural pub.
The worst is the one where you have to drink it sideways.
Just drink the fuckin pints for jaysus sake! Splitting the G or the shtick? If ya down 12 pints and finish off a one and one from burdochs then yill have me reshpect boss😄
Pretty terrible meme. Sad reflection on the current standard of ISF. Homer looking disgusted and a terrible caption “when someone says tea instead of tae”. What a load of dog shit.
That guinness guru arsehole has a lot to answer for.
Eh splitting the G is just a fun thing to do between me and the lads, I see no harm in that
If I hear somebody talking about Schtick, domes, pour etc like it’s some expensive red wine I cringe
It’s a game they stole from Heineken
I am certain the “splitting the g” thing was created by guinness themseleves as splitting the G is nearly half a pint gone in one sip
Pfft. Down to the harp.
Real pint men just get the pint in to them and don’t be at that D4 carry on.
DOMAGE ON DAH WHA
look at the domage, creamer, shtick
a lot of Guinness Guru hate on here. the man is sound and is keeping standards of guinness good in this country. guinness will go to some pubs to help them. Lets face it if you’re a guinness drinker you know not all pints are created equal and we dont want our pints becoming like the ones in other countrys
Good way to get the pint going
Sorry gentlemen, but one/first gulp or nothing.😁
I think you’re a lovely foreigner and you smell nice.
You instantly know they are a wanker
tbh your hanging out with dopes if this is the best conversation they can get going in the pub
If you split the G
You ain’t drinking with me
Nothing wrong with playing the game and also admiring a good pint for what it is (aesthetically or otherwise) but the idea that you HAVE to split the G or taking the whole pint critiquing too seriously is a load of bollox. Have a bit of fun with your friends but don’t let it be the be all and end all
I can’t even find the G never mind splitting it
I’ve been an Irish man in Ireland for 32 years and i have never heard of this.. Maybe I should get out more…
I’m gonna start a rumour that splitting the G is a conspiracy to make us drink faster and that Guinness glasses will soon have the logo lower so we have to drink half the pint on the first gulp
Basically Guinness drinkers are increasingly up their own area about Guinness and how it should be drank and what makes a good one.
They’re as bad as craft beer drinkers.
Guinness is becoming a bit like coffee in that instead of a ‘just’ a beverage it can be seen as a meticulous hobby you can have lots of opinions about. Various influencer types and online groups are steadily building meta rules and terms for this hobby.
“Schtick” is one of these terms and means the head of a Guinness sticking to the glass as it’s consumed.
“Split the G” doesn’t exactly fit into the above as I know it more as a dumb recent “pass the time” type of game. It just means to align the head of a Guinness as closely as possible to the flat part of the ‘G’ in a Guinness branded glass with one continuous gulp.
Hes saying their going halves on a gram
The G in Guinness is the same G of the Freemasons. That’s all I’ll say and I’ve said too much.
I still don’t understand Guinness extra cold. It is supposed to be served at cellar temperature. Cool if you will. I hate having to wait for it to warm up.
Always stay away from peoples who making drinking Guinness a personality trait.
Guinness guru on Instagram had a lot to answer for
Split the g ffs, drink guiness in 3 to 4 large gulps, no birdie sips, nothing g worse than looking at someone taking 700 tiny sips of a pint as it turns to shit
