Drinking Black and Tans will get you killed in some parts of Ireland. I’m not kidding. Black and Tans are the drink of the Orange Royal Irish Constabulary and mostly detested in the Republic.
I’m starting to dislike catholics(in a way)...sorry but true. Wherever they have strength in numbers things go to shit. The paradox is that my best friends and best girlfriends have usually been catholics. I tend to date catholic girls, and not on purpose. My best buds are usually catholic.
damn, I just hijacked my own thread.
The “symbolism” I referred to in my first post was simply Irish stout on top of English ale.
