Hey all, first time poster here, though I'm familiar with the forum. So for St Pattys day, along with a delicious Irish feast, I made some black and tans but instead of bass, I used FW Union Jack IPA. It was seriously delicous, I liked it better than both beers by themselves. It tasted like a hoppy brown ale. So I decided that I would try to brew something that combined the qualities/ingredients of both beers to an extent at least. So here is the recipe I came up with, I guess now it doesn't resemble much of the guinness ingredients now but still looks good. Let me know what you guys think! I do like the idea of an english brown moderately hopped with classic american hops. If all is good to go I will be brewing this in a week.
