Guinness Surger – Real Pints at Home

Hey all,

Just a quick update on this brilliant product I’ve found. The Guinness Surger, currently at 15% off!

Guinness Surger – Case of 24 x 520ml cans with FREE GUINNESS SURGER (for pub quality Guinness)

I have yet to officially review the Guinness draft/can, but I did review Guinness Foreign Extra which you can read here:

https://pilsnerpilgrim.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/luck-o-the-irish/

I digress, the Guinness Surger seems like an amazing alternative to the nitrogenated widget cans. I’m sure we’ve all had a case of Guinness pint cans where it’s been hit or miss in terms of body or flavour (as the cans can sometimes be watery and lacking in the nitrogen department).

These surge cans however, are activated by sonic pulses which emanate from the surger base. I’ve had a pint of this in a local and I must say, it was pretty darn good.

Not only does this serve up delicious creamy Guinness, but it will make a great conversation piece (and make all your mates jealous!)

Check out the Surger here, and read the reviewers who give it on average 4.6 / 5!
