- I presume a "half & half" is some sort of shandy, in which case it's
- made up of a half glass (or pint or stein or whatever) of either 7-UP,
- red lemonade or white lemonade. The other half is your beer.
-
- Normally ales are mixed with red, and lagers with white or 7-UP.
-
- A "Black and Tan" is a mixture of a stout and an ale, traditionally
- Guinness and Smithwick's, the colour of these two giving the drink it's
- name. To the best of my knowledge, these beers are mixed upon pulling
- and are not kept separate in the glass, as some articles on this subject
- seem to have implied.
-
- The name "Black and Tan" also has a lot of historical significance
- attached to it here in Ireland.
