Millions of pints of Guinness are expected to be sold on St Patrick's Day

Every year on this day, millions of pints of Guinness are sold worldwide as people celebrate Ireland's patron saint. For many, St Patrick's Day and a pint or two of the black stuff simply go hand in hand.

Bar or pub staff will usually pour Guinness at a 45 degree angle, before leaving it to settle, and then topping it up. It takes longer than pouring a pint of, say, lager but for many drinkers, it is worth the wait. The professor claims we've been drinking Guinness all wrong, as it should actually be poured into a different glass. He said: "Every Guinness is supposed to be poured into a specially crafted tulip glass. But that glass is designed to manipulate the bubbles in the beer to turn the pour into a performance, making you wait longer than you need to."
