[quote=alphageek31337]Good to see Guinness guys (and gals) up here. Easily still the best beer ever. However, at one point at the bar I worked at, we had Guiness and either Harp or Bass (whichever one is lighter, I'm pretty sure it was Harp) both on tap. Black and Tan. If you drink beer, and you've never had a guinness black and tan, you need to get off your ass.QUOTE]

I agree.. but to clarify Harp is a lager which is light colored and Bass a pale ale which is amber in color. A bass/Guinness combo is a Black and Tan and a harp/Guinness combo (what you were referring to) is a Half and Half. If you like wheat beers like some have mentioned I suggest a cream of wheat which is Boulevard Wheat/Guinness or if you like sweeter a Black Velveteen with is Cider and Guinness. I am simple and just like Guinness. I also am a big fan of New Belgium Brewery beers (Fat Tire, Sunshine) I saw earlier a reference to Czech beer their Blue Paddle is a real good Pilsner but if you should come across Bier de Mars (a seasonal) it is fantastic.
