On St. Patrick’s Day, we bought new beer glasses and ♀ made me two (yes 2!) perfect Black and Tans. In case you are unfamiliar with this marvel of bartending, it’s made by floating Guinness on top of a much lighter beer. In this case it was a pale ale. It takes patience and a steady hand. I’ve never been able to do it and not many bartenders can either, but she’s become a master.

The very cool thing about a Black and Tan is that if it’s prepared correctly the layers stay separate as you drink it. So that even when there’s only a quarter of a glass left, there are still two distinct layers.

So stop in at your local Pub and order one (or 2). I’m sure the bartender will really appreciate it. Tell him I sent you. HHNT

Cheers,
