'Hell Bound'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(my brother is particular about not calling it a "Black and Tan" because of political reasons).
I thought that was quite funny when I first went to Boston, and all the 'Irish' Boston people were drinking Black and Tans and thinking how Irish they were. And I had to point out the flaw in their naming logic there.
I discovered Half and Half the same year I discovered I was diabetic. Put a crimp in my lemonade drinking. I've been experimenting with affordable sugar-free variants.
There's a political element to black and tans? I sort of assumed the name was because Guinness is black (okay, very dark brown) and Bass is tan.
Although I am perplexed by Yuengling Black and Tan which is just sort of brown and not mixy as far as I can see. Though yummy.

Blacks and tans were the name of the English Army thugs used as enforcement during the Irish revolution of the early 20th century. (My mother may have raised me with a little republican bias.)

technically, a black and tan is any drink that mixes stout and lager. A Black and Tan is when the bartender floats the Guinness on top of the Bass (or you can have a Half and Half, which is Guinness and Harp)

Huh. I did not know that.
Next you'll be telling us there's a political element to Brownshirt Ale....
Did they have a rep for drinking Guinness and (edit, not ale) lager?
Clearly I am dimwitted about the beers, since I can't tell lager from ale. I do know what stout is, though. I think.

This.
I don't like the sound of mixing stout and lager. Wrongity wrong.
