Black and tan Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Black and Tan
Black and Tan is a drink made from a blend of pale ale and a dark beer such as a stout or porter. Sometimes a pale lager is used instead of ale; this is more usually called a half and half. In Ireland both Stout and Ale drinkers may order a black and tan for variety. Contrary to popular belief, however, Black and Tan is not a drink commonly consumed in Ireland.
