Pound Lane Red Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Half time cider required to calm the nerves or suppress the dream. Dutifully attended the kiosk and asked for a cider. "An apple cider?" Yes please.... a three minute wait only to be told "none left - is blackcurrant OK?" So a big well done to everyone for drinking the bar dry of cider. A poor showing from NUFC for not stocking the away fans bar correctly. Blackcurrant indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Calling Strongbow Dark Fruits a cider is the equivalent of calling Katie Price a model. Both fall into that that category but both are absolutely abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 When the Wetherspoons sells out of Thatchers before 12:00 and says "we got Strongbow" you know your a long way from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Their food selection was good. Everything a fan could want, burgers, hot dogs, pies and chips @Mkelly take note!! Seemed v popular with our fans. The prices of alcohol were absolutely disgusting tho, £4.20 for a bottle of lager or Cider is taking the piss somewhat. What does a bottle figure out as? Half a pint? So effectively 8.40 for a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better ones obviously contain a much higher percentage. The cheaper versions like white lightning will contain the 38% water and additives. They buy cheap frozen apple juice from France where it's not really consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blackcurrant ripens in late July early August. Apples in October/November so the presses are available. Win win for Thatchers. It is produced at Salford.

1960maaan Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 #6 ish .. Westons vintage 8.2% , every bottle contains little bits of individual gravity in every bottle. If you don't believe me try drinking 5/6 bottles you will find it difficult to stand normally and even get up in some cases without gravity pulling you down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I did a tour and tasting session at Weston's Cider Mill in Hereford. When it says on the bottle 'aged in oak barrels' they aren't wrong. The barrels are huge. I think their biggest holds 250,000 litres. Apparently there is only one Cooper in the country with the skill to fix them. Except if they are left to dry out, then they crack and shrink and its game over.

Rattler does strange things to my legs and coordination. Especially after 6 pints sitting in the Cornish sun. I do object to Healeys claim to the "original" scrumpy though.

WhistleHappy Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I settled for apple cider vinegar, hmm, bit of an acquired taste to be honest, I'm glad I only had a half, admit I struggled a bit, bloody strong stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Another fact. Cider is the left over second squash of Apple's. Cyder is the first squash and much better than a lot of the muck we think is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
