Contrary to popular belief, however, Black and Tan as a mixture of two beers is not a drink commonly consumed in
Ireland. Indeed, the drink has image problems in parts of Ireland and elsewhere due to the association with the
Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force which was sent into Ireland in the early 1920s and nicknamed the Black and Tans.

I learned long ago never to ask for a "Black and Tan" in an Irish pub, especially one with a Republican name...that would get you a hard look and maybe a lecture. It's "Harf'n'harf" whether they pour Harp or some other pale ale/lager before topping with Guinness (or Beamish or Murphy's).
When Stout is mixed with Strongbow (or any brand of cider) it's a "Snakebite"...and you can keep that. The combination is a ruination of two perfectly fine beverages when left alone
