Black and Tan Craze

The marketing wizzes at Anheuser-Busch are giving away a free beer toy!!
I'm a sucker so i signed up of course.
It must be part of their aggressive push in the market since
they took over distribution rights for the European InBev brands (Bass, Stella Artois, Beck’s and Hoegaarden)


Local beer writer Greg Kitsock wrote in his recent discussion
of Black and Tans in the Post:
"It works, but you must pour slowly, because the creamy
stout foam tends to gum up the holes."

So my ol' trusty versatile Guinness spoon might have an edge here.
Plus the MBAs at A-B probably figured it was a great way to gather
information on beer drinkers and force them to buy glassware that will actually fit the brolly. 'sure looks like it is sized only for the new sexy Bass glasses. ....of course i want a couple of those too.


Now I'll just need to get my hands on one of these Brütül LagerHead Turtles to conduct a full comparison test...

Cheers!
