Cider Drinkers. What do you drink?

[UNDERHILL1927]

When I used to live in Blackwood for a short time, there was a cider in the Institute. If my memory serves me correct (too much of this bloody cider along with other alcohol) it was 8% and 98p a pint. Blew your head off.

Ai, ten pints on an all dayer I meant. Three of those 10 pints are breakfast for us valley boys

And you wonder why I'm scared to watch F1 at Silverstone with you!

btw. tickets on sale for Spain this week. No Cider included.

A long time ago I'd have a glass or three of Taunton Natural Dry, but don't see it much around here these days.
I'm more of an ale snob anyway.

Bought a few cases of 'cidre' when we were in south Brittany many years ago. Local producer. It was like drinking champagne. Spoils you for anything that comes out of a bottle or can in this country I'm afraid..

I love cider but I reckon it should be on the optics.

Why does it turn some people Mental? And it does, weird, because it's Alcohol, just like the rest, but Cider!.....

Can only be Henry Weston’s Vintage, takes me back to the 70s learning to drink, brought up on scrumpy & cloudy bottoms, no filtered stuff in them days

P.s. cider here in Poland is excellent, prefer it to the beer

[Whisperer]

Best Advice the old man ever gave me was stay away from Cider - Rots your guts. It certainly took my old Pentrebach mate out at 48 with a shot liver.

[BLUETIT]

After being diagnosed with coeliac, all I could drink was cider, no lager or beer.

I used to enjoy a few pints of cider on a hot summers day, but to drink it all the time, na !!!!

This has now all changed and I’ve actually got used to it. Obviously the most common make out there is Strongbow, but Thatchers Gold and Thatchers cloudy are tidy.

A good value bottled cider for the house is Aldi’s Irish Cider £1.29 a pint bottle .

It’s also a myth about rotting your guts, or brings on gout .

[Cardiff-Cal]

Suprised Gwynt Y Ddraig hasn’t been mentioned yet. They have 6 or 7 types and they’re all really good.

I love cider but my guts don’t seem to, anyone else have this problem?

[splott parker]

It’s marvellous for coughs…….you can tell a dedicated cider drinker, if he does cough, he has to clutch the seat of his pants at the same time. You daren’t cough!

Aspall Vintage

Old Rosie Cloudy .

Any Farmhouse Cider.

Best out of bottles or craft boxes like Vaults does.

The Stable in town he place to go to and try many ciders on a rack .. pizza and pie's nice as well back St David's 2 rear entrance ..

[valleys caveman]

rekorderlig is a nice summers fruity drink

Never heard of it before. Just had a quick look online and Asda sell it so I shall pick one up next time I'm there

[valleys caveman]

No better than the Henry weston vintage.
Nice little one couldn't drink more than one but a nice thirst quencher is the lillys cider they do.
Check this list out they do.

Any idea where they sell it, or is it online only?

[Harry Bosch]

8 half litres at 8.2% is still one hell of a good swish !!!

[valleys caveman]

Stowford Press for me.
I remember bottles of GL when I first started drinking, like squash that stuff.

I think Stowford Press is made by Westons. Nice pint.

[valleys caveman]

Westons Vintage is my favourite cider, potent but proper cider , Aspalls is also a lovely clean tasting dcider but again strong and very acidic, Kopparberg a nice summer thirst quencher i prefer the strawberry and lime flavour

I found the Kopparberg a bit sickly after a few.
