half und half

[Lynne Murphy]

Barry wrote from Prague:

> HALF UND HALF--beer, dark beer

Not particular to Prague--my friends ordered them in Waco, TX (but with
'and' rather than 'und'--this seems to be a linguistic mongrel, yes?). I
was never clear on whether a half and half was different from a black
and tan (guinness & harp).  If so, it's because one of the beers is
different, but I don't remember how.
