Which sure makes this pretty awkward
especially considering that it's pretty good for a macro.
That's just a ruined half pint of Guinness, so, aptly named
Do they sell it in Ireland? Does everyone go silent or is it funny awkward no matter where they sell it? Having just found out about this today, before this, I probably would have made a huge mistake and order it and joke around about why everyone is so uncomfortable.
You can order a "half & half" but, probably will need to explain and get dirty looks for perceived crimes against Guinness (I think it's a great drink, the Irish tend to be a bit protective of their stout though, in my experience).
I have found that to be dependent on what you mix it with. I had it where they mixed it with shit beer, so of course it's going to taste like shit. This is in America though.
I've never seen any yungling here. there are some people who order "black and tan" at a bar (stout and ale mixed) and Ive seen a guy from west belfast get pretty pissed off that they said the term at
I've never seen those for sale here for what it's worth.
I have heard of black and tan drink before which I believe is half Guinness half beer / ale but I've never had one or seen one ordered.
They have to know though, right? Where else would they sell it that there wouldn't be Irish people there. I guess the mixing it half and half would piss them off from the get go anyway? "Might as well just go all the way, full asshole."
Almost certainly. Maybe it tastes nice. Not something I'd be rushing to try mind you.
Everyone goes silent. It is at best a faux pas. Just. Don't. It's disrepectful.
