🚀 Episode 16 of the Vale & Mark Podcast 🚀

Ever wonder why a can of Guinness can sometimes pour better than the pub tap? 🍺 The answer lies in a piece of product design genius: the nitrogen-charged widget hidden inside every can. In this episode, we break down the brilliance of the perfect pour—from the widget’s role in infusing nitrogen, to the counterintuitive straight-down pour, to the tulip-shaped glass that unlocks the legendary cascade effect.

Guinness has turned what looks like ordinary packaging into a masterclass in iterative innovation, collaborative design, and user experience engineering. Whether you’re a beer lover, a product designer, or part of a team looking for inspiration, the story of Guinness in a can is proof that great design solves problems we didn’t even know we had.
