What’s the significance of Black and Tan?

Was wondering that myself, every day is a school day now that I’ve googled it.

I was with an American acquaintance (someone I met at a conference) in a bar in Dublin a few years back and he asked for a Black and Tan (not really a cocktail per se, but a mixing of light and dark beers) - as soon as I heard the word "...and..." I tried to stop him but the word "tan" isn't very long. It was like a movie-scene moment - everyone around the bar turned utterly silent and looked at him.

Safe to say the pint he got instead (after being told politely that his request wasn't welcome) was downed quickly and he moved on (I stayed put, as the folk around the bar made it quite clear my face/reaction were a picture, and ended up having a great night).

That could've worked out much worse! 😱
