The science of Guinness

November 12th, 2011

I was wandering around the Interweb this morning.

I called into Dick Puddlecote’s gaff.  He wasn’t in, which gave me a grand opportunity for a snoop around. While I was there I found a little gem.

I discovered all the things I never knew about Guinness.

Why do the bubbles go down, and not up?

Why is the head white when the liquid is black [or deep red]?

Is the head a solid, a liquid or a gas?

What has a pint of Guinness got to do with the Beijing Olympics?

I think tonight I had better do a lot more study into this subject?

Heh!
