Impress your friends by learning how to pour this classic Irish drink.

To complete this How-To you will need:

One can of cold Guinness Draught
One bottle of pale ale or lager
A pint glass
A round soupspoon
A special Black and Tan spoon

Step 1: Tilt glass

Tilt the glass slightly and pour the pale ale until the glass is a bit more than half full.

Tip: Pouring the ale quickly creates a bigger head that helps support the layering.

Step 2: Position the spoon

Hold a round soupspoon upside-down over the middle of the glass.

Tip: Some people bend the spoon handle into a horizontal "S" shape that can be balanced on the edge of the glass.

Step 3: Pour

Pour the Guinness very slowly over the center of the spoon, letting it run over the sides and into the glass.

Step 4: Bottoms up!

Congratulations. You've made a black and tan. Bottoms up!

This is not a traditional irish drink, i work in a bar in dublin. why would we name a drink after the scum who murdered the innocent.

[grobo11]

Why don't the Irish drink it? Because it's the same name given to soldiers who caused harm before your parents or grandparents were even born? Show the world that your not pathetic. Show them that dark history can't be related to a name or object but instead by the people responsible. How can a drink or name cause harm to people who wern't even around to see it. It's like me not eating pasta because the Romans were Italian and occupied my countrys yonks ago.

This used to be a popular drink in Scotland but we often used sweet stout as opposed to that Guinness shite

[saoirse2011]

how do you pour a black and tan?why, you melt him down an then POUR him down the sewer.

[diarmuiddotcom]

I can safely say this "drink" is the biggest insult to Arthur Guinness or John Smithwick or indeed the Irish people, imaginable, also please do not dare blacken the Irish name or reputation by calling it a "classic Irish drink".

[Boabiegringo]

@Dragon1918 That's a pint of Special. Whereas in Scotland a pint of special would be a pint of 70/- shilling or Heavy. Wouldn't mind one right now actually.
