Reality dictates grassroots needs alcohol revenue

It wasn’t until very recently that I saw evidence of the Black and Tan drink up close.

It’s a relatively popular stout and ale cocktail in the US — a half-in-half combination of Guinness and Bass, with the less dense black stuff settling on top.

I hammed it up for my American friends and they responded with a satisfying amount of shame: “What about the Irish Car Bomb (Guinness, Baileys and Jameson)? Is that not very PC either?”
