The two most common types of Black and Tan in the United States use Guinness Draught (not Extra Stout) and either Bass, or Harp Lager. Although, Guinness and Harp is more commonly referred to as a Half and Half. The “layering” of Guinness on top of the ale is possible because the relative density of Guinness is less than that of the ale.

To prepare a Black and Tan in the American way, first fill a glass halfway with the ale, then add the Guinness Draught (from the can, bottle, or tap). The top layer is best poured slowly over an upside-down tablespoon placed over the glass to avoid splashing and mixing the layers. A specially designed black-and-tan spoon is bent in the middle so that it can balance on the edge of the pint-glass for easier pouring.

My wife and I went to an Irish Pub in Riverside. Ive been looking for a good pub for some time now and this one was great the name was The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub. After drinking Guinness for the first part of the night i decided to try Harp which was very good the waiters soon told me to try a Black and Tan witch was a combination of both. WOW this was an excellent beer. I continued to drink this for the remainder of the night. I strongly recommend you go out now and try one.

Ah Blue Moon, this is truly one of the best beers i have ever tasted. This Belgian white ale has a incredibly smooth taste does not leave any foul after taste, so good it can be drank warm. In a bottle or on tap its a wonderful tasting beer.

My cousins were the first to tell me about blue moon but i payed no attention, that was my first mistake, as time went by they would talk about there bar encounters and how they were drinking blue moon. Even at random moments where there was no drinking involved one of them would mention how a blue moon would be perfect to drink right now and the others would all agree, I had to find out more. The liquor store next to my work is full of great imported beer so i knew that they had to have it. i bought a case of blue moon for 18 bucks witch I found kind of expensive but laziness did not let me go shop around for a better price. when i got home my wife and I had our first taste.

Well now my wife’s first choice of beer is always a blue moon. The other night me and my wife had this huge argument not sure of the reasons anymore but we definitely needed to chill out and talk about it. So i left the kid at my mother in-laws house and found a T.G.I.F. luckily for me the had blue moon on tap, I strongly believe that Blue moon saved my marriage that night.
