Guiness Glass set in water to increase head?

[brew_chica]

Hey there!

My boss was in a bar over the weekend and had a pint of guinness - after the bartender poured the pint, she set it in some type of contraption that was bolted to the bat that resembled a cup holder that she poured about an inch of water into. Somehow this made the guinness head increase. Of course the gal had no idea what it was or why she was serving beer that way, she was just doing as she was told.

Have any of you ever seen anything like this?? How would this even work?

Never seen this before... If it's being poured on nitro (never seen draft guinness that isn't) it's essentially all head to start with...

Some kind of ultrasonic gizmo to vibrate more head out of the beer?

Here you go

It's called a surger. Google is your friend.

Now that you mention it Elbone, I do seem to recall hearing something about that a while back... I believe it's served from a can? A way to get it closer to the draft experience?

It looks like they have a canned surger version and a home surger available as well as a kegged surger version for commercial draft accounts.

Every time I think I must have heard it all, something like this comes along.

Thank you! I had been searching google but had come up empty handed!
