THE SXSW FESTIVAL is in full swing in Austin, Texas this week – with everyone from James Franco to the cast of Game of Thrones in town.
Irishman Seán Cannon Early is there for New Slang this week, and he came across a Guinness stand with a serving suggestion that mixes Ireland and Texas:
The half-and-half is known in Ireland, usually with Smithwick’s – and it’s often called a “Black & Tan” over in the States when served with Harp.
This three step process is an intriguing new push to get people in the States to lighten a pint of the black stuff though:
Featuring a “pouring spoon.”
Some other creations included in their Half & Half recipe book include:
- Irish Apple (Guinness & Cider)
- Black & Gold (Guinness & Lager)
- Guinness Hopper (Guinness & IPA)
So now.
If it’s at SXWS, this must be the cutting edge future for Guinness.
Prepare yourselves.
