I’ve been experimenting with different black and tans lately. I am looking for the perfect “tan” to go with the creamy, sweet, and not very strong tasting, Guinness. I’ve heard all the arguments between Harp, Bass, and what is “authentic”, but what I am looking for is what tastes the best.
I have tried some IPAs with the Guinness and they are a bit too strong. So far my favorite so far is a local pale ale, Brown’s Pale Ale, but still not great. I’m beginning to wonder if the simple, weak, Harp isn’t the best companion… What are your thoughts?
On a related note, my family got me a turtle for Christmas to assist in pouring a black and tan. If you are not familiar, it is used over a glass to help float the Guinness on top. It works really well; and my daughter even allowed it in my kitchen because it is a multitasker (bottle opener too).
