It has been a long time since I've posted. I have been busy this year though, making black and tans. All the pictures have been posted on Instagram. Below are some layered beer pictures that I hope will give you inspiration.

It has been a while since I've posted but I've collected a few nice customer pictures that were emailed to us.

Rebecca told us:
​"I absolutely FREAKING LOVE this tool!! I could never create a perfect (descent for that matter!) black & tan, but now I’m making every color in the rainbow! Black & Red, Black & Blue & Black & Green even my own creation-the Black Badger!


Black Badger = Guinness draught over Leinenkugel’s Wisconsin Red Pale Ale"

Peter told us of his new creation:
​"The Bumblebee: Guinness on top of Surly Xtra-Citra Pale Ale. It's a Black & Yellow"

Two Nice Combos

12/3/2017

Received a great email from Mark R. 

"You’ll be glad to know it’s got a good amount of use already. My dad and I have been making Black and Tans and since you get two beers with each one you make, he’s been trying them with me. Turns out the bottled Guinness doesn’t work. So far my favorites have been blue moon and Guinness and shock top and Guinness. Left the tool with him because he’ll use it more than I will. It’s been fun!"

Mark is right that bottled Guinness not working as well as the canned Guinness Draught. Combos with Blue Moon and Shock Top both work well and the cloudyness of the bottom layer presents nicely.

Thanks for the feedback and the pictures Mark!

Black & Tan Successful First Try

11/19/2017

We just received some great feedback from Don T in western Canada. He said "First attempt with Harp's Lager and Guinness resulted in a perfect pour. Thank you."  That made my day. Don then shared two nice pictures to prove it.  Thanks Don!
  • LEFT: The classic Half and Half. Harp Lager under Guinness Draught in cans. 
  • RIGHT: Guinness over Molsen Canadian apple cider

​Both of these are almost guaranteed to work because of the density difference between the two layers.

Beer Layering to Kick-Off 2017

It has been a while since I posted but, rest assured, I've still been busy trying different black and tan combinations over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday.  Many combos didn't work so I was forced to drink them as punishment.  Here are pictures of my successes.  Some of them worked out really well with fantastic layer separation.

Post St. Patrick's Day Black and Tans

3/27/2016

Well, St Patrick's day celebrations are over.  Hope everyone tried some green beer! 

I'd been trying some various layered beer combos.  Many of them didn't work out and mixed, but through perseverance  and a bit of luck, I landed some good ones. See pics below.
I'm always on the lookout for different beer glasses to try black 'n tans with. A few weeks ago I found a goblet style glass on Amazon at a reasonable price.  The tool didn't really fit the smaller opening and it actually sat on the diagonal part.  It formed a good seal around the rim and when I first started pouring the Guinness it wouldn't drip down because no air could escape. Once I lift the tool slightly the Guinness started to flow and a decent layer was created.  It didn't turn out as good as I had hoped so I'll be trying the glass again.

Customer Half And Half

​I received this great half and half layered beer picture last week from Granata S. in Canada. A "half and half" layered beer is Harp Lager under Guinness Draught. 

She said that "It was her husbands best so far, using the perfect tool for Black and Tan. Every one who has received the tool from him has enjoyed better Black and Tan! Thanks!"

As you can see in the picture, there is great layer separation. The light color of the Harp also helps to make this a dramatic combination.
