This is true, although if I'm not in Kent I'm in Devon so I'm never far away from good cider!



I looked for a jealously smiley and could not find one! I am yet to find a nice local cider around here.

Are you near-ish a countryside?

I've only found one nice local one, but I plan on spending the summer sampling many more.

Sort of, I plan to look a bit harder over the next few months as I have started drinking again (I stopped for a while cos it wasn't doing me much good).

For now though I am happy to stick to magners/bulmers pear :smile:

Good good :h: That doesn't sound great either, but obviously you're better now which is always good :biggrin:

That's what I've been doing, sticking to the main stream ones I know I like just while I have exams going.

I love it! :smile: but unfortunately where I live there is a pretty poor selection. Can't wait to move to the uk and broaden my horizons :P
I'm beggining to miss my cider. :frown: My hometown in Sussex has more ale than cider tbh, so there isn't as much of a variety here in comparison to my university town. I should be heading back on Friday though, so more cider galore :biggrin:. I'm a member of my university's cider and ale society, so I'll be hitting all the usual spots to get my favourite ciders. :smile:

Tried the rhubarb and custard brothers tonight - not bad, little sweet for my tastes. Also every time I took a sip I got the theme tune from the cartoon stuck in my head. :colondollar:

six bottles of Thatchers bought for the weekend :smile: or for one night if I am so inclined :tongue:

I'm slacking - I have had 4 bottles of pear cider in the fridge for about 2 weeks now and have yet to open the pack :colondollar:

I did put my homemade stuff in another bottle though on sunday and got rid of the sludge in the bottom but more has fallen to the bottom since then, do I need to wait until it stops before its drinkable? I am waiting till I don't have to be at work the next day to try it, so was hoping that it would be ok to drink by the weekend.
Incorporated some Rekorderlig strawberry and lime cider into cupcakes yesterday. Was so good!
I got 12 cans of pear kopparberg for £6 as the box was slightly damaged :biggrin:

Overly sweet but still damn good.

Careful you don't leave it too long, it'll turn nasty. :yucky:

I was in an ale mood the other night, so picked up a load from Tesco, but then felt guilty and grabbed the first thing of cider I saw to appease the great zyder god. Turned out the cider I grabbed was Brothers Toffee Apple flavoured, and is the strangest taste ever. It tastes a bit like a toffee apple, but alcoholic, and bloody disgusting. Steer Clear (unless f course you're a seven year old who is considering a career in binge drinking, but can't handle the taste of anything proper, in which case this is ideal).

Tried that back in November when 'spoons were selling it. Sickly stuff - the barstaff wanted to kick us out and told me I had to down it, I had my revenge by puking over their walls. :cool:
