Adam recently discovered Jason Hackett, a.k.a. “Prime Mutton,” a social media influencer who travels from pub to pub and judges whether or not each establishment’s draft Guinness pour is good or not. More specifically, he judges whether or not the pint is “a real creamer.”
This discovery arrives on the coattails of several other recent Guinness-centric social media sensations. There’s the infamous “Gonster,” the widespread realization that Guinness isn’t as filling or calorically dense as we once thought, and now the “Splitting the G” challenge that’s taking the internet by storm. Needless to say, the appeal of Guinness is still gaining momentum.
On this episode of the “VinePair Podcast,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss how this perfect beer effortlessly finds new fans and ways to remain at the center of drinking culture around the world, moving between higher-end and low-cost establishments and drinking occasions in a way that no other beer can. Tune in for more.
