Wired has a article about it too:

$13.5 million to develop it, apparently.

Rocket widget or no, I still prefer my Guinness in a glass.

A quote from the Wired article:

"No, the only way to get a good Guinness is from the tap. When you get a good pint there's that lovely, creamy taste: You can't bottle that!"

I'd agree. And add a little lime to it.

Pedantic - Guinness isn't actually a beer it's a stout

:)

Thanks Dave, but I'll stick with the Wikipedia definition; "Stout is a dark beer..." :o) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout

Drinking Guiness out of the can... BLASPHEMY!!! If you enjoy that widget thingy, make sure you try some Boddington's pub ale, too. My personal favorite, next to Guiness.

Holy... wait a minute. I'm confused. So you had a bottle of Guiness with the widget in it??? I read widget and automatically thought can.

Yes, Mr. Ziegler. A bottle. Bought it at HyVee (am I pathetic or what?) Check the link in the post.

And for the record, it is a very good brew, even drinking it from the bottle. The widget works.

The "rocket widget" was quite the topic last night (New Year's Eve)! No matter, I really enjoyed my Guinness! My wife said first chance she got she was going to "Google" to find out about it.

Happy New Year!

Best Guinness I've had this side of Belfast or this side of a tap handle!

I love when idiots are corrected.

Can you let me know the name of the company (and contact ) that manufacture the rocket widget in the Guinness draught glass bottle?

Guiness is #1, all light beer tastes like water.

guiness beer or stout or whatever sucks. i tried it last night and i have drank many beers and i do proclaim, guiness is nasty, flat, and smells like shampoo. the by far most disgusting beer i have ever had. drink up those who like it. and you can keep your beer and your little plastic thingy too!!

Guiness bottles are the best thing outside of taps from Dublin especialy in the States we(USA) don't know how to clean the lines

While browsing World Market in Prescott, Az. I was checking out the strange six packs of beer that they had lined up from all of the world when I came across Dublin's Guiness so I decided to purchase a six pack. I got home and popped them into my frig and the next day decided to open one up to try. The same exact thingy was left at the bottom of the bottle. No explanation so we wrote the web address on the six pack box and we received the weirdest explanation. I thought now why hasn't Busch, Coors, Sam Adams and other beer companies thought of the same thing. They tell me because its not necessary for their beers and they don't want to cheat the general public out of beer that this thingy replaces! So instead of 11 ounces we get 9.5 ounces, hey that is a rip off!

Sorry, guys, but an essential (but not critical) part of the beer drinking experience for me is admiring the beer in the GLASS. I poured the sacred brew into a pilsener glass and watched the "bubbles" go DOWN as only Guiness bubbles do and created a nice sized layer of foam on the top. For the tactile, or visually impaired, however, it is very kind of them to create the feeling and taste of foam while drinking from the bottle or can.

We're naming our band "Rocket Widget"

My hubby did the same thing as you, just the other night... & we were at a "4th of July" party with my family. No one knew what it was until he read the label... & I grabbed pair of needle nose pliers & proceeded to pull out the widget... we (all who were now trying to figure out what it was) were all curious as to what it looked like. & has me curious... so, I googled it & got your "site"! Thanks for the post!! :)

Guinness is second rate compared to gillespies stout now that is class in a glass
