    Which sure makes this pretty awkward

    especially considering that it’s pretty good for a macro.

      Do they sell it in Ireland? Does everyone go silent or is it funny awkward no matter where they sell it? Having just found out about this today, before this, I probably would have made a huge mistake and order it and joke around about why everyone is so uncomfortable.

        I’ve never seen those for sale here for what it’s worth.

        I have heard of black and tan drink before which I believe is half Guinness half beer / ale but I’ve never had one or seen one ordered.

          They have to know though, right? Where else would they sell it that there wouldn’t be Irish people there. I guess the mixing it half and half would piss them off from the get go anyway? “Might as well just go all the way, full asshole.”

            Almost certainly. Maybe it tastes nice. Not something I’d be rushing to try mind you.
