I was in Tesco today and was drawn toward a stand beside the fruit juices which had a very sexy lady behind it. She was promoting something to do with Guinness. I thought to myself Guinness + Sexy woman = :D

I went over to see what it was about. It was a little contraption called a Guinness Surger. She asked me if I drank Guinness to which I replied "Go on, have a guess". The accent was a giveaway. Anyhoo, this contraption works by vibrating and turning your glass of Guinness into a rather lovely frothy 'just poured' pint. It was rather ingenious and I couldn't turn down a free sample.

After a bit of old fashioned charm and 6 free samples later I was on my way. I didn't have the £17 on me to get the Surger but I'll be getting one tomorrow. Has anyone got one yet? What do you think of it?

Hopefully she's still there tomorrow. I'm going back to see.
I want :D
 
Interesting stuff, I think i'll be visiting the Tescos in town and hopefully they'll be having some free samples.

But I don't drink enough anyway to warrant one.

It's a valid reason to drink more. "I need to get my moneys worth"
I'm not going back just for the surger :D

Ask her if she wants to try the surger out back at your place ;)
 
My Dads got one as he gets all the Guinness promotional stuff passed on to him from his local.

Its alright, bit of a gimmick, but looks nice when its rolling around in the glass :)
 
I got an email from Guinness about the surger. Keep meaning to go & get one. What's the availability of the cans like?
 
A friend bought one. It's a bit of a gimmick as far as I can see. Ok, it looks pretty... but it tasted exactly the same as it did out a normal can - i.e. nothing like it does in a pub.
 
Guinness just reminds me of drinking "car bombs" at uni,

Pint of guinness

dbl tia maria in,

Then drop a dbl baileys in and hopefully you can drink it all before the baileys curdles.

Yeah I think it is only the tesco extras that have them in atm as I work on the wines & spirits department at tescos and we dont have them in but the local extra store did.

I remember looking at them thinking wtf is this! but as they use a special type of guiness (you cant use the normal stuff) then I imagine they will be like all these types of things (like those coffee machines with the little sachets) will be useless once the supermarkets stop stocking the cans.
