Always the way. I remember ordering a couple of a gallons of scrumpy in the late 80s or early 90s from a lad in work who came from Cheddar. I think he sourced them direct from a farm. I could barely stomach that either. In fact, I think the fumes were enough to get me drunk. I still shudder recalling the experience. Thanks Phil B.

Recipe changed with the design alterations on cans (more filled out with artificial stuff and sugars). Also it isn’t necessarily the ‘recipe’ changing which can reduce a ciders quality but the process becoming increasingly commercialised and hurried to meet demand.

Red-Robbo Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 The "Thatcher's Gold" song always irks me somewhat, when I hear it at the Gate. Might as well celebrate Vimto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Red Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I'm never able to comprehend the mindset that eulogises the likes of Gold and Katy, when there exists such a blessing as Henry Weston's Vintage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 My favourite cider is Stowford Press - made by Weston’s. Its lush and a good session cider. Second favourite is Thatcher's Dry, unfortunately not available in cans otherwise I’d have some in the fridge at home! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s certainly different from the fizzy filtered bottled stuff that even the local makers produce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herta Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Gold doesn’t even taste like cider anymore, it’s just a weak watery sweet pint of piss water. Thatchers being the cider at the ground is the worst part of a match day. It’s just vile cheap crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer Katy to Thatcher's Vintage, but for me HW Vintage is miles ahead of either. Happy to agree to disagree over a pint of each!
