I realized that on the photo you posted, the Boddingtons can is not the same as the one we have here in Canada, although we do have the cans with the widget inside. The thing is that instead of being written "Draughflow System" in the red circle, here, it's written "Smooth and Creamy". Can you tell me if your photo was taken in the UK or in the USA? Do you have an idea of the reason why we would not have the same here in Canada ? Thank you for your answer, I think it will be very helpfull. Thanks! Julie Hi Monkey,

I'll be "trickling" my bottled beer from now on. BTW: The widget is in almost all British beers, now, including Guinness draughts. Wonder if it will catch on among the finer domestic beers soon.

I was confronted by the Widget for the first time last week when I too opened a can of wonderful Boddington's and saw the amazing head of foam, heard rattling about inside the can, noticed the difference in size to the normal 500 cc cans, cut the thing open and came to much the same conclusion you have drawn, the thing fills with gas during the filling process then releases it spontaneously when pressure is suddenly reduced. Considered it might have an internal overpressure and a membrane shear-balanced at the pressure differential of internal filling pressure and its own internal pressure, but decided that was far too much of an iffy thing, so reached the conclusions you have. Many thanks, indeed! By the way, a German pub landlord, for whom I was once standing in as a waiter, once clued me up, when we suddenly ranout of draught, on how to make bottled beer taste like draught : DON'T POUR IT IN THE USUAL GENTLE, NON-FOAMING WAY! : pour it in a trickle from a height of around 8-12 inches and it tastes (almost) like draught!
