What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Tyrconnell Irish Single Malt Whiskey. It was a gift from a friend who went to Ireland - to be perfectly frank: I've had better...

Connemara Cask Strength is better but it just depends on taste.

Danny O,

Why I haven't seen you at the Club in AGES! Where have you been hiding yourself? I've been wasting the hours away with Clem. And he's no conversationalist!

I had a pint of cider. Wanted more, but knew the consequences that 'more' brings.

Well, you remember the last time we were at the Club, you left the tap running in the ladies powder room...........and it flooded...........well, now you know where I've been! Drop my drycleaning around, next time you're passing.............please!

You must have watched Rachel Maddow the other night. She had a cocktail moment and made a "French 75" with cognac. I'm dying to try it! I adore any drink with Champagne!

Cheers!

Hi Sharpsburg,

No, I didn't, it's just "French 75's" are one of my favourite cocktails, although I don't know what it would be like with cognac?! Let me know, once you've tried it.

With you on the champagne.......and gin!

Cheers,

Danny O

Unseasonably cold here in NC last night. We sat around my neighbor's fire pit and passed around a jar of NC's finest corn squeezins.....aka, moonshine.

Bloody lovely stuff this.............................



The origins of Porter date back to London in the early nineteenth century when it was popular to mix two or three beers -- usually an old, well-vatted or "stale" brown ale -- with a new brown ale and a pale ale. It was time-consuming for the pub owner to pull from three casks for one pint, so brewers in London tested and produced a new beer, known as entire, to match the tastes of such mixtures. Using high roasted malts, entire was dark, cloudy and hoppy. It was also easily produced in bulk and ideally suited to the soft well water of London. Very quickly, it became popular among the porters working in Billingsgate and Smithfield markets. Gradually, the beer took on the name Porter in recognition of its greatest devotees.

Sorrows? You can't have any of those if you have a 1970 port.

Hi BD,

I knew I'd get you on the Gin, eventually!

Tonight, a couple of very large OHDH's, followed by the last of the Woodford Reserve *sobs*........

See you at the Club, later.

You'd think so...couple of deaths, one close, one abstractly close. Bad week, but how can I complain, I'm alive...
