Yes sir.
My buddy's grandson brought it up for me.
He is in the Marine Corps. Stationed in NC.
Yes sir.
Yes indeed. I'll have to give that one a try eventually.
That is some good beer KenMumbleypeg wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 11:59 pm David, I’ll have to see if I can get some of that. Looks like my kind of beer!
Coincidentally our son just returned from a trip to Arkansas, and brought me a six pack of this. I’m enjoying one now in fact!

A "real" Black and Tan is Guinness and Bass.Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 1:11 am I’m used to pouring my own Black & Tan from Guinness and Harp. This isn’t the same but it’s pretty good nonetheless. Yuengling has started brewing beer in Ft. Worth with plans to start selling it in Texas this Fall. They drove an armored truck from Pennsylvania carrying their proprietary yeast, arriving in Ft. Worth on May 12th according to the press release. Going to make it in the brewery there owned by Miller Brewing, which already brews several other beers like Carlson and Lone Star.
We’ll see.

Guinness and Harp is called a Half and Half.
Both are delicious in my book.
I was told both names are technically correct. The “Black & Tans” were the name the Irish called troops the English used to occupy Ireland (they wore black and khaki uniforms). Hence the Irish resented them. So you don’t order a “Black and Tan” in Ireland - instead you order a “Half & Half”. At least that was the explanation I was given by an Englishman I once worked with.

I like both. I usually just use Guinness and whichever of the other two I have on hand - seems like I never come out even since I’m prone to drink all of them by themselves too.

Have you done The Tour of Ireland, David? I did . . . once and lived to tell about it. I also drank 24 pints in an hour with my one brother, then brother-in-law and my bud Tom, at Murphy's in Old Town, Alexandria. It was an interesting night.

Apparently not since I don't know what it is, but since my name is McCarty you must tell me about it. Seems I need to try.

Nothing goes better with a fruit-sweet salsa than a frosty "fruitbeer" (aka IPA)
This Kua Bay IPA was my natural go-to choice to pair with my fresh mango ceviche.

Get yourself one of these custom half and half beer glasses and you can come up with any combination of beers that you like.

All of this talk about Guinness got my taste buds going.
I don’t think we get Yuengling here yet.
There’s nothing better than a nice cold Guinness on a warm summer evening!1967redrider wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 11:53 pm Nice, John.
