Beer?

Hot news! DP's forthcoming 'enterprise initiative' is bound to have people writing Czechs.

Na zdraví.

Brilliant!!!

Can't wait to see the label! (Forget the top - that's a niche interest, loved by the few...)

That's going to cut no ice with Marmion, what about the bottle top?

Passes on that count, but the number 10 rather than a Roman numeral would have done for the ABV. Picture of Mel Gibson on the cap would keep the errant locals happy, perhaps?

x will be replaced with the actual number when we know it - aiming for around 6.5%. I like the idea of Roman nos. though!

Do you get fractions in Roman numbers?

Last night I had:

Beavertown's 'Bloody Ell' Blood Orange IPA
Five Points Brewery'd 'London Smoke'
Hammerton's Steam Lager

And a couple of pints that I can't remember the names of.

All decent, B'town and 5 Points being strong for me at over 7%

Here you go.......

Did the Romans use fractions?

• 
  The Romans didn't have a standard way to write fractions using their numerals. Instead, they just wrote out the word for the fraction: for example, two-sevenths was "duae septimae" and three-eighths was "tres octavae." The Romans did not have a word for every imaginable fraction: how often do you need to say thirty-three seventieths? If necessary, they would probably have said something like, "thirty-three seventieth parts," or "triginta tres septuagensimae partes."
  
  The Romans did most of their practical calculations with fractions by using the uncia. The uncia started out as 1/12 of the as, a unit of weight (the word uncia is related to our word "ounce"), but it soon came to mean 1/12 of anything. You can add up twelfths to make halves, thirds, or quarters, so the uncia was fairly versatile. When they wanted smaller fractions, the Romans usually cut the uncia into smaller parts. The system is very similar to measuring length in inches and fractions of the inch: you might not measure an object's length exactly, but you can still come very close.

• 
  so 6.5 would be VI uncia VI..... I guess

or VI dimidium perhaps

6/12 was represented by "S" (semis), so may be you could write "VI S".

My aunt is taking me to the St Peter's Brewery, 'because it exists'. Aren't aunties brilliant?! More on that story later.

I thought uncia was a Roman coin. Must re-read some Asterix books - these Romans are crazy *taps forehead*

Er, has your Auntie ever been out boozing with you before?

I've got an aunt but she's completely useless. Actually we have got Great Auntie Maud who's 93, we're taking her to the pub tomorrow. She'll have a white wine spritzer, declare that she doesn't eat much and then trough a huge roast dinner and pudding.

It must be a ladies of a certain age thing. MiL is 79. Every time we go out (and I mean every time) she'll say "Oh that looks far too much for me". Then proceeds to eat the lot and try to eat everyone's dessert
