| Well, it looks like it's time to duat off the old history book again (phoooot-**cough, cough**).
Careful, the term "Black and Tan" can be very offensive in Ireland, since it refers to a British paramilitary formation used to quell growing unrest in Ireland in the early 1920's; the Black and Tans were accused of many arbitrary reprisals and atrocities against the Irish civilian population.
However, when referring to the drink, Black & Tan refers to the uniforms worn by the officers, of the Irish & English soldiers. So a Black & Tan should be made with Bass, or another English ale.
A drink made with Harp and Guiness is called a Half&Half. Other tasty options are:
Lynie's Berrywiess-Brusied Berry
Boddington's-Black&Gold
NewCastle or Schmittwick's - Black & Brown (personal favorite)
Etc. use your imagination. |

| You can always use Boddington's for the tan....as it uses the same draught process as Guinness. |

| Good, but isn't it supposed to be Harp ale, not Bass? [Guinness makes Harp also] |
