Black
and Tan is a style of beer made from a blend of a
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.
The style is believed to have originated in pubs in the British
Isles with drinkers ordering a mix of Guinness and Bass ale. The
name is first recorded in 1889, though an earlier origin of an
18th century blend of porter and pale ale has been conjectured.
Several American breweries currently make pre-mixed Black and
Tan, and it is a popular blend at American bars. One of the oldest
and best known commercial examples is Yuengling's Original Black
and Tan. However, British breweries do not make it, and it is
rarely requested in pubs.
