More Black and Tan Beer Combinations (Look Ma, no spoon...)

Above are two examples of how easy it is to make a 'dark on bottom' layered beer drink with the Perfect Black and Tan beer laying tool.  Can a spoon do this?
  • #1: New Belgium Ranger India Pale Ale over New Belgium 1554 Black Ale
  • #2: St. Arnold Octoberfest over Abita Turbodog

General rules of thumb for making black and tan beers:
  1. Porters generally work well for a bottom dark layer
  2. Stouts and black lagers generally work well for a top dark layer
Enjoy!

Game Day Black and Tan Beer

Black and tan beer
It was a Saturday and I had finished all the yard work before it got too hot. Then had some time to kill before the college football game I wanted to watch started.  What to do, what to do?...  Go to the grocery store for beer of course!

I picked up a 6-pack of Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes Brewery) and Session Black Lager (Full Sail Brewing),  both of which I had never tried before.  The Session Black was appealing for two reasons. One, they came is unusual 11oz bottles and two, black lagers generally work well for a top layer.



As can be seen, with the pale ale on the bottom and black lager on the top, I had a very nice black and tan layer effect and a great tasting combination.
