Steamed Mussels and asparagus, grilled shrimp and a tasty Half and Half.

From Wikipedia... In Ireland and England, a half and half is a combination of Guinness draught and Harp Lager, with the Guinness in a layer on top. In the North East of England, a request for a half and half would more commonly produce a combination of Scotch ale and India Pale Ale (IPA). This drink fell from favor when the Scottish & Newcastle brewery were obliged to sell many of their tied public houses and McEwan's Scotch and IPA disappeared from public bars across the North East. In the United States and Canada, a capitalized Half & Half is Guinness draught and Harp lager. A lower case half & half is generic for Guinness draught and any lager/ale that will support the Guinness draught. When Bass ale is used, you have a "black and tan".
