myersbg 1,385 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 That CHUCKLE HEAD that you can get at the midland game fair has made a mess of me and my mates, on more than one occasion, but who cares when you are on holiday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 If you can buy it in a pub or a can, it's fizzy, sweet or clear it ain't cider. That rules out a lot of ciders. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lid 194 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 If you can buy it in a pub or a can, it's fizzy, sweet or clear it ain't cider. Many say that, but personally I prefer sparkling ciders. I started with dry blackthorn, paying about 12p a half when I was a teenager (ahem!). At the moment I enjoy most of the Bulmers range and also Magners. I also like many vintage sparkling ciders and French Normandy cider. However I find I can't drink Strongbow - what the hell is it?

twobob 1,497 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Had a fair few pints of what can only be described as "pond water" at some beer festivals. There's also some really bad stuff I bought at the great Yorkshire show once, bought a great big flaggon of it and put it in the bottom of my mates kids pram. Anyway carrying said pram up the steps in to the food hall and the flaggon fell out and the neck snapped off!! Disaster!! So me and my mate did the only responsible thing and found some glasses and set to it. Within half an hour the deed was done and we were in good spirits and when the girls returned from the food hall we set of to enjoy the rest of the show. Unfortunately this cider.... Well.... Within half an hour I was bubbling slightly and soon after that my usually quite trim stomach looked like I was going to birth there and then!!!! Have you ever tried to find the f**king toilets at that show! I must of spent 45mins crabbing my way around with a very worried look on my face and the contractions were getting closer! Then I saw them! Like an oasis in the desert a races towards them as fast as I dared, through the main door and to the first available cubicle, I managed to shut and lock the door, turn round and drop trou all in one "fluid movement" I'd got there, I was on the big just in the nick of time, but you no when something just isn't right??? We'll this was it, in my rush and hurry to get sat down I'd positioned myself a little bit to far back on the seat........ Oh the horror........it was EVERYWHERE! and to make things a little more awkward there was 2 female voices entered the building and both went in cubicle next to me! I could hear the comments, about the smell etc and I really didn't no what to do. Was in the ladies or were they in the men's? F**k no's I didn't look back to find out! Lucky my pants and boxers had avoided the explosion but the t-shirt had to go. I cleaned up as best I could a just had to get out of there. Lucky it was a warm day and nobody thought anything of me walking around all bare chested. And that ladies and gentlemen is probably the worst and most embarrassing experience I've had with "proper scrumpy cider" and luckily not one I've ever repeated. Be careful There must be others with stories? PLEASE why would you buy apples in yorkshire if they were any good we would have eaten em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm a cider man myself. Although currently sat with a nice (albeit quickly disappearing) bottle of Taylor's Select, special reserve port. I'm a big fan of any Weston's cider. I love the Henry's vintage. Also like the old rosie and in Manchester last weekend an old bar we went to had "Rosie's pig" on draught. Now that was a nice drop. I always go for Henry's Vintage, otherwise Waitrose do a nice vintage but I have a feeling it is from Weston's too. I've had the waitrose vintage a few years back and said then it was definitely a Weston's. Aldi have got a vintage on at the moment in 750ml bottles made by Weston's. It's certainly worth a try and at £1.99 it's a steal. Nice one, due to go shopping there tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I've drunk it on occasion & wondered what all the fuss was about..........I think it's a halfwits drink tbh.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't mind a drop of 'wurzel juice' on occasion. Old Rosie's ok and most of them press type ones, Black Rat on the odd occasion it's been gifted and the likes. As long as it aint shite like Magners, what the fecks that ice about! Or any fancy flavored stuff... Crap! On my bucket list is a trip down south, Hereford or the west country and find the real scrumpy makers and indulge, big time!!

bullmastiff 615 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I quite enjoyed a few of savanna dry, home bargains was doing it for 99p so got to be done but I'm a aspalls cider drinker love the stuff, home bargains are doing a Italian cider for 49p and it ain't too bad, I looked on the sticker and it says shepton mallet where it's made hahahahaAbout 20mins down the road from me. Used to be where they made BabyshamSame place magners now comes from. Janet jungle juice is probably one of the best Somerset ciders. Perryscider is another good'un. A lot of the commercial ciders are all made by the same companies now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Just looked on the magners website and it states its made in clonmel, Ireland still? They bought all the large commercial orchards round here years ago. I can't believe they pick the somerset apples transport them to Ireland for squeezing then ship the cider back to Somerset for bottling??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
