    Do they sell it in Ireland? Does everyone go silent or is it funny awkward no matter where they sell it? Having just found out about this today, before this, I probably would have made a huge mistake and order it and joke around about why everyone is so uncomfortable.

      I’ve never seen those for sale her for what it’s worth.

      I have heard of black and tan drink before which I believe is half Guinness half beer / ale but I’ve never had one or seen one ordered.

        They have to know though, right? Where else would they sell it that there wouldn’t be Irish people there. I guess the mixing it half and half would piss them off from the get go anyway? “Might as well just go all the way, full asshole.”

      You can order a “half & half” but, probably will need to explain and get dirty looks for perceived crimes against Guinness (I think it’s a great drink, the Irish tend to be a bit protective of their stout though, in my experience).
