They are hardly going to spread around that it's a myth, now are they? Just because someone works for Diagio does not mean that they are going to tell them the truth. I mean what are they going to tell the delivery drivers, etc? “Well actually, it's a load of old nonsense the marketing boys came up with, back in the 50s, but keep it under your hat.” I don't think so.

Wait a minute. If the first pour gives you the head and the second one just tops up without disturbing it, then a single stage pour would have the same head as a two stage pour. I mean, what's going to disturb the head? The second pour you don't do? Many pubs in the UK do a single stage pour and the head looks the same.[/quote:10p9rvk2]
Some English pub landlord on ratebeer says the Diagio rep he deals with says the two stage pour thing is a myth.

Indeed they do. I think down the sink would be a more appropriate way of pouring the canned nitro Guinness.

It has to be poured in one go because the widget can only release all the gas in one go. It stands to reason that the same principle obtains with Guinness from a bar tap, doesn't it?
