Post caption
Guinness solved their canned beer problem in the 1980s by inventing the widget, a hollow plastic ball that pressurizes nitrogen during canning to recreate the iconic draft pour at home. When you crack open a Guinness can, the pressure drops and the widget blasts nitrogenated beer out to create the creamy head just like in a pub. The widget launched in 1988 for cans and later bottles, winning the Queen’s Award for Technological Achievement in 1993 and being voted one of the best inventions of all time. #guinness #nitro #beer #widget

Transcript
Bad a problem with their canned tier, it didn't pour the same way that it did in a pub. On rank, it's poured with nitrogen to give it its iconic head and pour, so they started innovating on this in the eighties. The first idea used a false lid as a gas chamber, but they were too complicated for the real world. Then a breakthrough happened with a widget, which is a hollow plastic ball dropped in the can before sealing. During the canning, the beer pressurizes the nitrogen into the ball. So when you crack the can, the pressure drops and the widget blasts the nitrogen beer out. It first launched in 1988 for cans and then they made a version for bottles. It won the Queen's Award for technological achievement in 1993 rank many groups have voted it one of the best inventions of all time.
