Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
Not really drunk cider since my teens when K was my tipple of choice. 🤮
I went to watch Somerset v Gloucestershire at Lords once and they'd run out of cider before lunchtime. They seriously underestimated the preference for cider over beer amongst west country cricket fans.

Tesco sell Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon 500mL bottles. It weighs in at 7.2% so is certainly robust!

Now that's stuff that should have been on the optics.
Absolute loopy juice, must have been about 9%.
Two pints of that back in the day had you singing, four had you fighting!

Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
I've really been a cider drinker since I was a teenager, but lately, I've tried a few craft extra dry and sour ciders. Not bad.
Graft Farm Flor, Shacksbury Dry and Nine Pin are a few I've tried.

Yes it was powerful stuff but deceptively palatable.

Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
The Gwynt-y-Ddraig ciders are very good and are available online. Produced in Llantwit Fardre by the way.
Due to health problems no longer able to drink cider but back in the day I used to enjoy Scrumpy Jack, strong enough without being fally-down.

Yes, lovely and even sold in "champagne" bottles.
Nobody from West Wales on here wanting to chip in for Gethin's?

Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
Used to enjoy a cider until my diabetes nurse told me a pint of strongbow contains 8 spoons sugar and magners contains 12 spoons per pint

Yup, i'm a fat **** at the moment and need to lose some weight. Luckily for me i don't booze,because if i did i'd be in the obese bracket i reckon. It's lethal stuff if done too much.

Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
I'm not much of a cider drinker, but had Gethin cider down in Dale last summer. Lovely drop.
ooops - just saw bigjoe's post above

Re: Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?
Oh there's some great appreciation on this thread, my story is I always started drinking pints but it always turned into gallons, I like 2 pints singing and 4 pints fighting, anyone like to name a few consequences of their euphoric Cider tastes? I was locked up a few nights for drunk and incapable so there's one for starters.:hehe:

I remember puking up cider and black that splashed back all over my new suede boots from Paradise Garage. Drinking snakebite and getting into numerous shenanigans. Snakebite actually got banned in Barry.

My theory is that it was you who was banned from Barry and had to flee to NYC. That's a far more exciting backstory too. Sounds edgy. In fact, your new nickname could be Snakebite. I kinda like that.
