The Half and Half

"Quarantine happy hour"
24 oz of Murphy's Irish Stout &
New England Brewing Sea Hag IPA

So anyone who knows me, (Meghan), probably knows how much I enjoy a good "half and half". You know... 2 beers layered in one glass - consisting of a nitro stout, (typically Guinness or Murphy's), floating on top of whatever contrasting ale you might have in your fridge. You may also know it as a "black and tan" - but us Irish frown upon that term - more on that later.

I personally enjoy them closer to St. Patrick's Day, or when out at an Irish pub - seeing as how Guinness or Murphy's is one of the main components. However, lately I find myself making them on a more regular basis at home... especially now during quarantine. Maybe I'm still stuck in March? It made me think that there may be others out there that enjoy them as much as I do... and maybe it was blog worthy? Am I right? Hands up if you enjoy a good half and half!!

I figure most of you out there have probably had a half and half - but for the few that may not be so familiar, let me give you a little history and insight on this classic - also one of my favorite - beer concoctions.
