Guinness

The unsophisticated Ritz cracker guy is back.

Now I do have a good question. Feel free to degrade me if you will.

As I have 1000 times before, I poured a glass of Guinness Draught into a thick stout glass. The carbonation bubbles retreat downward instead of up??? It must be because of the CO2 capsule. I wonder it the same thing happens on tap. I have simply never noticed.

At the risk of seeming ignorant among you experts, does anyone know why this is?

The "capsule" is not plain CO2, it is a carbon dioxide / nitrogen mix:

Jim,

This happens in all good Guinness. It's the gas mix. Be careful when buying Guinness as you may find out you're drinking CANADIAN Guinness !!!! Seems as though, at least in these parts, the only real Guinness is the one with the widget. Most of it is bottled in CANADA !!! Read the labels !

Guiness now made in Canada? Brilliant! There goes another good beer ruined by Canadian production. Mark

As has been explained dozens of times, there is no one "Guinness". Guinness makes a number of different stouts- the number 17 sticks in my mind- in breweries around the world- (including even, for a brief time in the 1950's, in the US).

The Guinness Extra Stout sold in bottles in the US is brewed in Canada by Labatt. "Most" Guinness in the US *isn't* from Canada, for the kegged, bottled & canned Draught Stout is still coming from Ireland.
