Say what you will about Guinness drinkers, but they are not
impatient.
They can't afford to be.
The famed stout, celebrating its 250th anniversary this year,
isn't a quick pour. Guinness drafts are dispensed via a tap system
that utilizes a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Anyone in a
hurry for a drink -- especially with St. Patrick's Day looming --
had best order another beverage.
"Most of the time, (Guinness drinkers) understand," says Ann
Burns, who tends bar at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle in the Strip
District.
