SnoDork Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Usually a black and tan is Guinness + Harp Lager...mainly because Harp is a Guinness Brand. ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Usually a black and tan is Guinness + Harp Lager...mainly because Harp is a Guinness Brand. yes that's right. Oddly enough when I was in Ireland, Harp was nowhere to be found we called those half and halfs; black and tan would get you a foundation of harp (bleh) bass/guiness = 1/2 & 1/2 harp/guiness = black & tan the bartender told us young'uns pouring those was how the ira signaled there was a spy in the bar :0 The Black & Tans were the enforcers of the British rule & were known for their brutality & their random executions on the street (they'd just shoot people down for no reason). They were given kind of a mismatched uniform of khakis & black which is where they got their names. They basically were army solidiers done with their enlistments or whatever that couldn't really assimilate back into British society so they were sent to enlisted to go to Ireland. There's a whole song about the black & tans made famous by The Wolftones. "come out ye black & tans, come out & fight me like a man". Great song! "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama! I'm the president...of hittin' the ass!" -this is not a political view it's merely a quote from a hilarious tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 yes that's right. Oddly enough when I was in Ireland, Harp was nowhere to be found I've been to Ireland 3 times in the past 6mo! (for work of course)... Funny thing is i asked for a black & tan and the waitress took a double take and was like okay... Second round...i asked for a black and tan again, and she brought me a straight up guinness....then she said "be a man!" Her and my UK office coworker were giving me $hit all night! Good times!!

leftride Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 as long as i can remember: black and tan = Guinness & Bass half and half = Guinness & Harp but they seem to be somewhat interchangeable according to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_and_half *vb gallery* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psucaptainkickass Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I thought a black and tan was with bass... My quick little memory trick was that Black and tan and Bass both start with B.
