Lab Times author Thirsty O’Leary provides this summary of a scientific study by Liam Glynn, et al, that proves Guinness beer does not travel well. Some say it’s a conspiracy of the Irish—them drawing off the cream from the barrel. Although Guinness is not my cup of tea, I admire the work that went into this experiment. These zealots for zymurgy went all out! And, as those of use students ; ) of stats know, Guinness goes down well with quantitative research of this sort.*
“Each pint is like a child. You have to mind it through the entire process.”
