In Japan, Half and Half - a stout and a lager - is very common though. Hub in Japan do dual brand glasses with Hub on one side and Ale House on the other. I wouldn't recommend going there while you are in Japan though - the beer is awful.

The intent of this glass is to encourage bartenders and patrons to switch their "black and tans" from a Bass Ale base to a Harp Lager base. The latter concoction doesn't really work as well, but it's all in the family for Diageo. Happy New Year to all.

You'd have each logo visible next to the respective brew that way ...
