So this weekend has started off quite nice with the weather.
Soon it will be 'cider' season. I can't stand the theory of ice with cider. But I am looking for Montano cider online. It is going to be the next be 'drink'. It's from Italy and is the cider equivalent of peroni apparently.

Thatchers motherfucking gold.
Or the yellow if you're partial to a dry. They also do the old red diesel/Cheddar Valley/Ched Red.
Kingston Black, Rich's and various other small cider producers do a cracking selection.
You've got Cornish Rattler too, nice, if overpriced now.

Rules me out apparently then.

It would appear to be a contradictory statement! Rough scrumpy is the only cider I will drink fresh from the barrel. 7% and less than 80p a pint and contains no additives or fizz (rats do not count as additives). Perry's is on my doorstep and probably within 5 miles there are 12 different farms and cider mills from me so its rude not to. Some local pubs even sell it down here, albeit 3 times the price you pay from the barrel.

A pint of Gold does go down very nicely. Rattler too.
In fact, any proper cider. None of this 'cidre' bollocks, thank you.

Henry Westons + Special Brew= the devil's snakebite. Not that I would recommend anyone drink Snakebite. Horrible stuff.

Stowford better than gold? No. It's interesting that apart from that one the actual fruit content of the ciders gets lower as you head down the list.

Gaymer's cider might be popular with gays...can you still get Olde English? Used to be popular headbanging drink in the late 60's early 70's..

Yes, you can, normally sold in clubs because Gaymers likes selling it to places like that where it's the only option. A pre-lunch 4 pack of scrumpy jack is usually the recipe for a good afternoon. One of the better canned ciders.
