What is black and tan?

Black and tan is a drink made by filling the glass part of the track with pale beer and replenishment of dark beer, such as thick or porter. Due to the different densities of two beers, it remains black and tan neatly layered, creating a somewhat pronounced visual appearance. Many brewing pubs offer black and tan, as well as bars and restaurants that serve beer, and this drink can also be prepared at home.

Although many people connect black and tan with Ireland, although thanks to the promotional campaign from the Guinness brewery, Black and Tan, it has actually been created in England and it seems to be older. In any case, the first time people began to refer to this style of drink as a "black and tan" at the end of the 18th century and the terminology caught quickly. If the layers are important, the thicker beer in the upper layer falls in the back of the spoon, so that it flows gently into the glass without disrupting the contents. Some people use a spoon with a specially bent handle that will wash off the edge of the glass for this purposea.

In other cases, people really want to mix beer and dark beer, in which case the dark beer can be poured into first, with the beer pouring to the top. When the beer settles on the bottom, it even supports mixing two beers, especially if black and tan in time drunk. When black and tan is made with a pale lager, instead of beer it is better known as half and a half, although people are not always consistent about this rule.

Black and tan is best served in a clear glass to allow people to see the layering of the drink, and sometimes two beers are brought separately, allowing the consumer to mix them.

Black popularity and tan has led to extensive acceptance of large related family drinks such as black and gold or black and white, along with a range of drinks named for specific combinations of beer. Many people enjoy the development of their own version of Black and Tan and uses the localsAvailable beers for a specific desired taste.
