Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton revealed her old job as she explored the history of Guinness on a Channel 4 programme.
The show with the Leeds-based star as host followed the history and journey of the 263 year old brand on Inside the Superbrands which aired today (Sunday).
Viewers got to see how the Irish dry stout is made, the history behind the brand, how it's grown and adapted over the years and the advertisements that were used to promote the drink.

She also got to speak with the brand’s quality control and the face behind an Instagram account that “sl**s off” bad Guinness pints and how they react quickly to make sure the pints are of high quality. Helen then showed off her skills as she pulled a perfect pint and revealed she used to work in a bar.
Helen told viewers: "Its been a long time since I worked in a bar so I’m going to see if I still pull a perfect pint that won’t offend Chris and Dennis (from Guinness quality control).”
Helen worked as a waitress, a barmaid and in a shop while studying for a degree in journalism from the Cumbria Institute of Arts before she became a host on BBC Radio Cumbria, which is how her career first began.
Responding @TotalPaulie said: “@HelenSkelton, you're the perfect barmaid with the much underrated skills to pour a Guinness.”
@ColinWSM said: “@HelenSkelton loving your program on channel 4 now about Guinness. Love trips to the Guineas storehouse in Dublin.”
Another user praised the Instagram slamming bad Guinness pints adding: “All to often in England and Scotland (never had one in Wales) I've been served pints in a oner, fizzy heads etc, no care given #ToArthur #Guinness”
