The Standard's Big Misteak, episode two: Crisp Pizza, 60/40 Guinness and karaoke

We're back for another round — this time unpacking the so-called 60/40 Guinness (trend or just déjà vu?), the queues at Crisp Pizza in Mayfair, and why Laryn in Brixton feels like the kind of neighbourhood bar London could use a few more of.

First up: the 60/40 Guinness, a resurfaced “innovation” that's left us both baffled. It's being talked about as if someone's discovered fire, but really it's an old pub trick revived by a few viral clips and a well-placed algorithm. We dig into why these things return, how social media can spin up a “new” trend overnight, and whether this particular pint is genuinely worth seeking out or just nostalgia with better lighting. Or if, frankly, it’s any better than just having a few Guinness Zeros between all the pints.
