similarly to how you’re supposed to pour a Guinness on a 45° angle, you’ll find that pouring your half glass of cider first and tilting the glass will help keep the Guinness up top.
I’m jealous
Missus and I have made a deal to not buy each other gifts, but to do stuff like this instead. Her birthday is a few weeks afterwards so this is her present.
Don’t fall for it…

Using taps, it would be easy as long as you give the cider time to settle before topping up with the guinness - as long as you tilt the glass properly.
Using cans, I think as @El-Cuchillero suggested, try using the back of a spoonwhen you pour the guinness - similar to how you layer Bayleys for a Slippery Nipple
you can do the tilt with the can, just have to let the guinness settle. made many of these when I find cans of Magners here.
Got a bottle of Laphroaig today.
Has been years since I’ve had some, has been exclusively Speysides and Highlands in that time. That first dram after years…PHWOAR! I had completely forgotten how ‘in your face’ it is.
Yummo.
BAH HUMBUG!
Picked up a Balblair 12 at the Channel Tunnel terminal this morning.
36 quid well spent.

The prices for standard single malts or Irish are frustrating in the US, especially Islay, where they seem to have slapped on a ‘cool tax’, because I don’t remember paying so much for a Laphroaig 10 or Lagavulin 16 when I was last here.
On the bright side, the bourbon and rye selection is obviously wonderful compared to Europe; in Copenhagen, you’d get Jim Beam and JD, and Bulleit if you were lucky (which is a bit of a cunt company, so I feel dirty buying their stuff anyway).
I ordered a bunch of Caribbean rums from this site Curiada. I received a tequila and two kinds of Texan whiskey in error. They let me keep those bottles, and I got the rums this morning, so I’d recommend them.
Saturday 7:30 AM kick offs can fuck off, though.

Are you sure it’s not an international phenomenon? Whisky is something that has a rather inelastic response to demand, they can’t exactly manufacture 18-year whiskies to respond to the latest TikTok trends…
I’m pretty sure in the UK the prices have also gone up quite a fair bit, at least the last I paid attention to it. Not sure I can afford to indulge as much anymore.
God bless Duty Free stores.
picked up a Macallan Quest for $70. think it’s the same release as their former offering called the Elegancia. sold in 1L bottles. delicious.

Following on from our beer chat in the Man U thread, I ordered some beers from Liverpool Brewing Company and they have just arrived:
Love how the points look.
