TPF, followed your advice, went with the family (my nuclear), and had a pint of English cider outside our local in the sunshine -- happy dayz

only hope you didn't get the hangover, the weather is too clammy & close to cope with one of them things

proper dry cider, so dry that if you get the bubbles up your nose it's like snorting pepper (non of this boulmers, magners or cidre rubbish, i mean, french cider for gods sake!)

I'd recommend Sheppy's Vintage Reserve (proper Somerset cider). Goes down as smooth as silk, and you only notice its strength when you've finished it !  Being pedantic, I think that Stella Cidre stuff is Belgian rather than French. Not tried it myself and don't really want to. In defence of the French, or at least a region of France, there is a long history of proper cider making in Brittany. Brittany or Bretagne is actually more akin to Cornwall in general feel than anywhere else !

And I would say, You can't have too many books, photos or dreams !  :)

I had noticed the minor gaff on the French / Belgian issue, but agree with TPF, with the heritage of Cider making with have in this country, surely we don"t need to import the stuff. OK, if its wine, fair doos, bring it in, but Belgian Cider,, its like the Scots importing Portuguese Whisky or similar  :D Local Cider for local Cider making jobs.

i think shush stated it like i meant it to mean, why not stick to the west country stuff, also, yes Belgium my mistake (or my bad as i think the young now say)

the cidre/boulmers etc etc seem to a sanitised mass market type of cider to me, been eyeing up thay sheppys stuff, make get a few bottles for next weekend

Now this has become a Cider topic,  after a nice family holiday in Cromer  last year, must put in a good word for Aspalls. Fine Sulfolk cider, fresh and smooth, a bit like Champagne IMO.  ;)

Don't, mate, it's about £4 for three litres, about 8%... f-ing rocket fuel aimed at the bemused and slightly incoherant people who hang around your local parks in tracksuits and look like they belong in a Mike Leigh movie...

Talking of cider, Shush....remember when we got the bus into town one Saturday night about 20 odd years ago and that lad at the front heard us talking about cider and piped up "Scrumpy Jack puts you on yer back"?

Anyway, back on topic....you can't have too many of your songs blasting out on the jukebox.

Sheppys is nice!

back on thread, you can't have too many water butts for your veg plot & fruit trees (had two of them full, nearly ran out until recent thunder storms, invested in third, fourth to follow next month)

Aspalls organic, nice. if you like that try the Kingston Black from the Somerset Cider brandy lot

http://www.ciderbrandy.co.uk/shop.html

it aint cheap, which is why i get a bottle for cristmas time & one for summer, two if work is going well, but it is almost worth the price
