Great Father's Day Layering

Shock Top and Shiner Black and Tan beer
More left over beers in the fridge and what to do? ... Make some Black and Tan beers of course!

I tried a Shiner Black Lager over a Shock Top Belgian White and was pleasantly surprised with VERY distinct layering.  This is a combo to remember.

Goose Island and Anchor Black and Tan Beer
Found some Anchor Porter at the local grocery store.  Porters often work well for a bottom black and tan layer with their greater density and very dark color.  I combined it with a Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale that I hadn't tasted before. 

The end result was interesting. The pair had very nice layering but as I let the drink sit (while grabbing the camera and taking pictures) some additional, more subtle layering seemed to come out.  See picture to the right.  I've never seen that before.

With the Archor Porter and Goose Island 312 success above, I tested using Shiner Black Lager on top of the 312 to see if a Porter-312-Black Lager triple would be possible. Disappointingly it wasn't as the 312 and Black Lager mixed easily. 

However, this told me that the 312 should layer well over Shiner Kosmos... and it did!  The effect isn't as dramatic as a dark/light combination but I still like the clear/cloudy line.
