Who decreed that it should be 1:3? Was it on one of the tablets that Moses dropped on his way down rhe mountain?

Moses probably went with a 1:1 ratio and that's why he dropped the tablets.Who decreed that it should be 1:3? Was it on one of the tablets that Moses dropped on his way down rhe mountain?

Nothing wrong with a drop of Powers Gold Label on a chilly December evening.
Re: What are you drinking?
Got a present of 5 yo double wood Hinch whiskey from Terry Cross's new distillery at Ballynahinch. Excellent stuff, best drunk neat.
Try it

I like the Ninth Wave Gin they do but haven’t tried the whiskey yet.
But I will.

Fast approaching the end of my craft beer Advent calender from Flavourly.com but stocking up on some local ales for the festive season.
Mourne Mountains Brewery in Warrenpoint produce some lovely potent beers (the ales are great) and the cans are works of art too with nice scenic photos of the Mournes.
For bottle conditioned beers, Ards Brewing Company do a nice range.

Re: What are you drinking?
It’s great to see all these new breweries taking off BUT, to my taste, about two thirds of it is massively over-hopped.
I find that licking a bar of soap and downing a shot of vodka achieves a similar effect, although I’m a bit sick of getting hairs in my mouth.
When proper drinking can resume, where am I likely to find a decent pint of hand-pulled ale in the Province?

Re: What are you drinking?
Aside from the usual Wetherspoons outlets around the place, in Belfast you've the Kitchen Bar, Bittles and The Sunflower. A much lesser known one is The Green Room which is part of the Black Box in Hill Street. They usually have around 10 different beers on tap. Doubtless there are plenty of others but these are ones I've visited however who knows if they will all reappear post COVID.justinr73 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 23, 2020 2:48 pm It’s great to see all these new breweries taking off BUT, to my taste, about two thirds of it is massively over-hopped.

Re: What are you drinking?
Much appreciated.
I’d not heard of the Green Room and, inexplicably, we’ve never been in the Sunflower.
Might join some of the clubs in the East too. If they’ll have me!

He understands it ok.
He just doesn't agree with it.
You on the other hand . . . ? ? ?
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

750ml IKEA's non alcoholic Gluwein + 250ml Jack Daniels + 4 dessert spoons of sugar heated up to just below boiling.
Surprisingly good!
