Favourite cider?

[CheeseRolls]

Hate to disappoint a few on here, but Merrydown upped sticks and moved to Surrey a few years back. I also think they stopped using Sussex/Kent apples at the same time.

I was hooked on Rekorderlig (Rekorderlig Cider) when it was on offer at £1 a bottle, now I can't find it anywhere. It tastes like Russet apples and is gorgeous. Went to a beer festival where they were selling whisky vat matured cider at 13%. It was gorgeous but I think 13% was a conservative estimate!

just discovered Brothers recently; lemon and pear cider

I used to drink Magners by the bucketload but then i went to Ireland in May & had the real deal out there. The stuff they serve over here pails in comparrison

Is the correct answer although my sweet tooth means I'll lose the Thatchers Katy and have Thatchers Cox's instead.

If you're in a supermarket which sells thatchers Katy and Cox's try one of each and then buy two bottles of Thatchers Special Reserve as well - really nice.

Same, they had in on offer in Sainsburys but it just disappeared. Lovely stuff though, but I have since seen it in a pub ONCE since in Haywards Heath.

Addlestones.

I was lucky enough to live about a mile from Denis Gwatkins farm (last year's Champion British Cidermaker) so one of his Yarlington Mill or Kingston Black for me. Other than that, Ross Cider or Gwynt y Ddraig.

Where can you get draught Addlestones outside of Southwick?

I actually despise Strongbow. Can feel your teeth rotting with every mouthful!

Have had a few Westons Organic still ciders recently which went down rather easily. Can't say I have a favourite though

 

[Franks Wild Years]

All of those are, frankly, absolute shite.

Aspall Premier Cru, Westons Organic or Thatchers Katy for me.

Is the correct answer, although I don't mind the odd glass Stowford Press.

Westons Organic.......

 

[Scampi]

How can they call it pear cider? I thought cider was made from apples and perry was made from pears?

I belive that rather than being made entirely from pears, it is an apple cider base flavoured with pear.

Have to say i don't really get on with cider much, but have had some ok stuff in Normandy.

Llangenny.

I recently tried some Chedder Valley Draught Cider not knowing that it was produced by Thatchers and was really impressed.
