Re: The Cider SocietyCan't find a Thatchers Old Rosie(Original post by SciFiRory)
ah okay, I only had Thatchers which I think is only like 4.5% or something!
anything over 7% is good imo
though has to be said, straight 42% gin, not so much...
Straight 55% absinthe however

Re: The Cider SocietyThat's because gin is rubbish. I recommend green chartreuse though - mixed with vodka and sambuca.(Original post by SciFiRory)

Re: The Cider SocietyIt's good. Don't add piri-piri sauce though - freshers week I drank it and was kinda out of it for the rest of the night (the challenge was down a pint - I finished third last and was given the option of that or a marker pen moustache + lipstick after the two behind me chickened out and went for the marker-pen + lipstick combo)(Original post by SciFiRory)

Re: The Cider SocietyNope - this was real life ale & cider society meeting, there were various challenges.
My favourite was the one with a big pitcher of luminous green alcohol (mixture of loads of stuff) - drink until someone could remember your name. -

Re: The Cider SocietyAh I see, nepotism. And every time an inconvenient underling needs to be culled, you just slip a little dose into their drink. Very neat.(Original post by Alofleicester)

Re: The Cider SocietyWould the sound of £1.60 a pint convince you?(Original post by SciFiRory)

would take a lot of booze for me to travel that far
Indeed - if I wanted to get rid of the leader, he does field trips to marshes - perhaps some don't come back from the bogs...(Original post by superwolf)

Re: The Cider SocietyOnly just spotted this thread!
Pretty much grew up drinking scrumpy and live 5 minutes away from the Thatchers factory, worked there each summer between uni
Got about 400 free cans last summer as one of the machines wasn't working properly and was only filling them 3/4 the way up. Shame it wasn't actual Thatchers but a berry cider they were making for someone else. Basically covered my pre drinks for this year at uni.
