Abstract
This is the second of a two-case series (IMD-5-0610 and IMD-5-0616). In February 2002, Guinness announces it''s testing new technology to shorten the time it takes to pour a pint of draught Guinness, from 119 seconds to 20 seconds. Having spent years advertising the long pour time as a point of differentiation from other beers, should Guinness introduce this technology in Ireland?
