[DonnieW]

Why did I know this was started by a Canadian?

It's Harp and Guinness


p.s. No matter how you spell "Vaughan", you still live in Woodbridge.

Well said.

I used to really enjoy Young's Double Chocolate Stout over New River pale ale....but then they quit making New River pale ale. I need to find a replacement for it...just haven't gotten around to it.

[SeanGAR]

Guinness and Smithwicks .... imagine, putting a British beer or a lager in a black and tan ... blasphemy.

:tpd::al

Bass and Guinness IS a black and tan to me!

[AD720]

Guinness and Boddingtons. Yummy!

I enjoy a B&T with boddingtons when it's around.

Sometimes I just want a quick and easy B&T -

:tpd: There are suitable modifications, but a black and tan is bass and guinness. Period.

[Clampdown]

Guinness and Smithwicks, then a nice half shot of bourbon on top

[yourchoice]

It's Harp and Guinness


This is called a Half and Half I believe. I haven't experimented too much past the Black and Tan (Bass and Guinness) and a Half and Half. Doesn't mean I won't...just that I haven't! :chr

[Fumes]

The top layer of a B&T is quite nice, until the nasty stuff on the bottom invades and contaminates the purity of the stout. Soon after it must be discarded or given to the dog.

"In the Republic of Ireland a Black and Tan is normally made from a half pint of Smithwick's topped off with Guinness"

from the wiki .. so it must be true <insert smiley here>

Course, Bass IS more typical, I'll admit, but Smithwicks has been hard to find in the States until recently.

Except take out the usually part and make it always :ss

[tnip23]

harp and guinness is a half and half. a black and tan is either guinness and bass or guinness and "smiddicks" I prefer the bass as it has some hops to it as opposed to smithwicks which is just malty.

[nhcigarfan]

Belhaven Scottish Ale and Guiness.

[av8tor152d]

I usually have mine with Bass Ale and Guinness

Is there anything else ?

[Bubba - NJ]

I used to make them with Harp or Bass under Guinness and now I use Smithwicks on the bottom . However though I will be getting some Boddingtons to try this out with Guinness as both come in pints . Bass would probably be the the original as I have a brass Bass brolly for pouring the Black and Tans with . Bass Ale is embossed right in the brolly and it was free over the internet a while back .:D

[Kreth]

I haven't had a real B&T in far too long. Occasionally I like them with a shot of Jameson as an "appetizer" :chr

[goalie204]

mixing,...beer? never heard of it

[bigliver]

A Black and Tan IS Guinness and Bass.

[icehog3]

harp and guinness is a half and half. a black and tan is either guinness and bass or guinness and "smiddicks" I prefer the bass as it has some hops to it as opposed to smithwicks which is just malty.

Yup....just pronounce it "Smith-wicks" in Ireland, and you might get tossed out of the pub. ;) :r

[Ace$nyper]

Guinness and Boddingtons. Yummy!

Wow, that sounds redonk good.

I normally have it the traditional way. Or buy Yuengling Black and Tan.

[smokeyandthebandit05]

Yup....just pronounce it "Smith-wicks" in Ireland, and you might get tossed out of the pub. ;) :r

I thought it was always pronounced smith icks?


But yeah Black and Tans are always Bass and Guinness for me.

[rack04]

Guinness and Smithwicks .... imagine, putting a British beer or a lager in a black and tan ... blasphemy.

:tpd:This is the way I like my black and tans.

Donnie, you spelled it wrong, it's.......

"Wood-a-bridge" with the emphasis on "bridge"

[spooble]

I usually prefer a Black and Red.... Guinness and Indian Head Red.

Or sometimes with Killian's in a pinch.

[icehog3]

In Ireland they pronounce it "Smitticks" or "Smiddicks".....no "T-H" at all.

[Kreth]

This may be a little un-PC, but is anyone a fan of the Irish Car Bomb?

[Scottw]

I like Black and Blues, Guiness over Blue Moon, NICE!!!!!

I am....might have me a couple tonight. ;)

That's not a bad idea, although I'd need to go out to do it. It's not the same with Guinness from a can.

Now that sounds really good. I gotta try it sometime :tu

I love getting them poured like that when the dividing line is so distinct.

[Tio Gato]

I was in a bar, not Irish, but with a good selection of the discussed ingredients.
A "lady" across the bar ordered a black & tan with Guinness and Magner's Cider. Never saw anything like that before.
My Black and Tans are always Guinness and Harp. I think that's because the "Irish" bars I used to inhabit on Cape Cod, while they had many Irish selections, only the Guinness and Harp were always fresh.
Mikey, that's a beautiful picture. Thanks.

The original is always the best. :D

What a cool device!

[groogs]

I usually have mine with Bass Ale and Guinness

:tpd: That is my favorite pairing.

[Bubba - NJ]

I gave the Boddingtons and Guinness a try over the weekend . Real good but it did not stay separate for more then a few minutes . I'm guessing because both beers are kind of thick or of the same viscosity , if that makes any sense at all . I do still like it better with Bass , SmithWicks or Harp . i also tyied a Dirty Hoe this weekend . 3/4 glass of Hoegaarden and 1/4 glass Lambic raspberry . A little on the sweet side and would definitely be better in the spring and summer .

[beamish]

smithwicks topped with murphy's stout or guinness :al
