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.

LOL! NEVER! I live in Maple!

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

I usually have mine with Bass Ale and Guinness

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

Guinness and Boddingtons. Yummy!

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

Well said.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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.

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

:tpd::al

Bass and Guinness IS a black and tan to me!

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

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

"Smiddicks" topped with Guinness, or Yuengling B&T when I'm in PA.

Mississippi Mud.... mm mm good

^---- Great minds... :D

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

"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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

Belhaven Scottish Ale and Guiness.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

Is there anything else ?

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

mixing,...beer? never heard of it

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

A Black and Tan IS Guinness and Bass.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

Wow, that sounds redonk good.

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

I thought it was always pronounced smith icks?


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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

FAQ

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

I have to go with Bass and Guinness. Nector of the gods.:ss

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

you guys are making me thirsty, i haven't had a drink in well over a week.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Or sometimes with Killian's in a pinch.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

The original is always the best. :D

What a cool device!

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

:tpd: That is my favorite pairing.

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
 

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 .

Re: What's your favorite mix for a Black and Tan?
