@Jordan: That’s an interesting combo. I’ll have to try it out.

I randomly came across this. I like Guinness and Widmer Hefeweizen in a Black and Tan. Widmer is mild, so not overbearing, but adds more flavor than a Pale Ale.

The hefeweizen is an interesting idea, but I don’t know how well those flavors would blend. It’s worth an experiment I suppose.

I think Chicago’s “312″ would be a pretty good match.

How about a hefeweizen?? Although I guess that would be a “Black and White”…

At the “Spoon and Whisk” in Clifton Park, NY.

I seearched for it on Amazon as “guinness turtle” and a couple are available there, about $10.

Where did you find that turtle!? That’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen and I’d love to get one for my lovely girlfriend who loves stouts and turtles equally.

Well, they’re made by the same company, sure. Of course the Guinness and Smithwick’s I can get around here are brewed in Canada.

I happen to have some Guinness in the house; I’ll need to do some experimenting. I think I can get some of the Blue Point Blueberry. I wonder if the Sierra Nevada bock I have is too heavy to use. Or the Torpedo. Hmmm…

I personally prefer Smithwicks for my black and tan… a bit more flavor than harp but not over power, and still retains the irish heritage.

If your ever in New York Long Island way. Get Yourself A Black N Blue. This pairing puts 1/2 a Guinness on a sweet Blueberry Ale from Bluepoint Brewery. Definitely my Favorite.

You probably need a nice lager. How about Brooklyn Lager?

My favorite pairing with Guinness for a black and tan is Boulevard Wheat. It’s light flavorful nature mixes well with the cream Guinness.

A bar around here offers a wide assortments of Guinness plus X ideas. One that I like the least is what they call "a black belt." That's Grain Belt Premium (a T.A.L.L.) and Guinness. I like both of those beers individually, but they do not go well together. .-= Chemgeek's latest: It still stinks =-.
