Hi Curt,
Re: the Guinness/Bass vs Guinness/Harp Apparently that depends on your location and, to some degree, your politics. Around here it's Guinness/Bass. There are some for whom the image of the Guinness in a superior position to the Bass in the pint glass has a certain..... symbolic political attractiveness. The wikipedia link below goes into that a little bit, along with some other variations. Since it is wiki, take it with a grain of salt, of course. My personal preference is for the Guinness, undiluted, possibly owing to my McNulty (County Cork) roots. :) Erin Go Bragh!

Yuengling made one with that name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tan I am familiar with it as Guinness over Bass Ale, but there are a number of variations, as the article states.? Certainly worth a trip to treat your uncle to a few of those! Cheers, and make mine Guinness!
