History
The Black & Tan appeared under his other name Arf & Arf in 1862 in "Bartenders Guide: How to mix drinks" by Jerry Thomas, later in 1884 in "The Modern Bartenders' Guide" O.H. Byron was one of the first to publish the recipe as "Black & Tan" in a cocktail book.
This Black and Tan recipe is the English version, the American version also described in 1862 by Jerry Thomas was composed of 50% Old Ale beer and 50% New Ale beer.
The Black & Tan recipe can be more simply made with classic Lager-type blond beer and Stout-type beer (Guiness) but the original recipe is the one above.
