When Guinness compiled the Black List, few realized how much people had been experimenting with Guinness over the years. In fact, mixtures of many different variations for centuries. The names of many of these drinks vary from one part of the world to another, but the look and flavors have been entertaining beer lovers everywhere since 1759.

 

Black & Tan...Guinness & Smithwick’s 
The Black & Tan has been the World’s favorite pint for a century
and continues to be a time-honored classic.

Midnight...Guinness & a Dash of Port
It is believed to originate from the Royal Flying Corps.  After dinner,
a few officers took to drinking Guinness instead of port.  The Guinness decanter
was passed around clockwise.  The two decanters happened to meet at the head
of the table.  The officer in that position absent-mindedly poured both drinks
into his glass and found the result quite enjoyable.

Half & Half...Guinness & Harp 
A drink with many names: Arf and Arf, Long Ship, & Light and Dark.  Out
of all the recipes, this seems to be the second most popular.  We recommend equal
measures of Guinness and Harp Lager for the finest results.

Black Goose...Guinness & Honker’s Ale
Chicago’s own Goose Island Honker’s Ale combined with Guinness.
A Black & Tan of a different feather.  Treat yourself!

Snakebite...Guinness & Cider
Sometime in the last century the apple crop in the West Country was devastated
by a plague of hungry snakes, which led to grave shortages.  To solve this problem,
the locals used Guinness to boost their meager cider rations.  To their delight,
the taste of Guinness made the ideal partner for the sweet taste of their cider.

Black & Black...Guinness & a Dash of Blackberry
Recently a lot of women have taken to adding blackberry to their drinks &
our black beer is no exception.  They find the taste of the blackberry makes
Guinness something they like to be seen with and enjoy drinking too!

Black & Blue...Guinness & Blue Moon 
The combination of Guinness and Blue Moon is quickly becoming a new favorite.
  Try it today and see why it is so popular.

Shandy...Guinness & Sprite 
The practice of drinking Guinness & lemon lime soda is rumored to have started
with the New Zealand Rugby Team.  After a game, they ordered Guinness & lemon
lime soda (in mistake of bitter Shandy) & found it extremely refreshing.  Some say
this is how they became known as the All Black, but it seems most unlikely.
