What's a good Cider...?

[Ad Lav]

Perry's if you can find it. 7.5% iirc and best served room/barrel temp.

[fabdavrav]

Been said before......Henry Westons vintage in a black bottle.....very nice chilled!!!! Or Tesco finest organic pear white lable?? Made by Westons......trying to remember of the top of my head which is a bit fuzzy!

I love Westons Perry My local Sainsbury used to sell it, but have now stopped :( I think Weatherspoons sell it

[Lady Elanore]

Just discovered Waitrose are doing 'Vintage' Perry (Perry pear) and 'Reserve' Cider (apple). I believe it's made by Westons, but it doesn't really matter because it is lovely. The Perry is 8% and the Apple is 8.2%, so it gets you merry quite quickly

Natch seems popular where I live now.

A lot of my new local pals seem to favour this brand.

My other half (Proper West country Girl) says anything

cloudy with straw and rat poo floating about in it will

do the job???

Don't ask me... I don't drink personally. :wonder:

[taff170]

Woodpecker!!

And a really really bad cider.......

Diamond white... BAD teenage memories... Or not as the case may be!!

Anyone used to drink Blastaway in their youth?

Diamond white and castaway in a pint glass..

Guaranteed hangover!!

Apparently Koppaberg Apple cider is beyond perfect, but they don't sell it in the UK. If you can source it from the continent, the let me know....

[Fabia_19]

Thatchers Gold is good.

Perrys is very good and they have a few different flavoura

Henry Westons and mentioned is very nice

Aspells have an organic cider which is excellent.

Or the good old Frosty Jacks for value :p haha...

They do a Pear cider and its quality!

Can get it from your local Tesco's now.

If you want to try some proper Somerset Scrumpy Cyder, then you should get your name down for the Weston Super Mare meet

http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/211162-weston-super-mare-meet-no14-sat-29th-october-2011/

The cyder farms we are all going to are highly recommended by the briskodians who have been coming along over the years.

One particular Uber Mod of Briskoda would highly recommend West Croft Cyder.

Old Rosie is my fav, followed closely by Katie after that it's the koppenburg summer fruits or elderflower

[ChrisRs]

There isnt a good Cider anywhere!!

Disgusting stuff

IMO

Good luck in your quest

[Dom_500]

Chedder Valley or Black Rat!

ThistlyCross gets my vote

[vindaloo]

Cobbledick's Rum Cask (better bright or from the cask than in bottles).

This might also be the same stuff. http://www.ciderclubuk.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_ritz.tpl&product_id=8&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=5&vmcchk=1&Itemid=5

Brother's Pear Cider and Westons Reserve in bottles are also good.

Heck's Perry on draught was very good at Farnham BF last year.

Chedder Valley or Black Rat!

Thatchers anything will do the job nicely

[Jim H]

I don't know if I should start a new thread about this, but there is a recall of 3 batches of Stella Artois Cidre due to the potential for them to explode unexpectedly. :yes: The affected products are 568ml bottles sold since the 1st July 2011.

Thats the same same stuff Waitrose sells as their own branded vintage. I bought some more Waitrose/Westons Perry from them yesterday (only a paltry 8% though)
