Weston's Stowford Press Cider

[mladen]

OMFG, just tried this stuff and it tastes fuckin amazin.

Highly highly recommended. Usually just go for bulk pack strongbow or magners. But not from now...

mmmm

[ka$h]

Is it sweet or dry? Where can we sample this delight?

[mladen]

I get mine at the local pub. I think tesco's do one from the same factory called "Weston's Organic". Not sure what thats like but assume its the same stuff.

Otherwise, get yourself down to the factory in Ledbury (near Hereford and Cheltenham).

I've had weston's organic, nice stuff.

If you get the chance then try Thatchers Cheddar Valley - great stuff, cloudy & orange

Tis rather good that, and the wonders of tesco means it makes it this far north too

Get yourself some Westons Vintage, for a ziderr it doesn't taste half bad and gets you very, very drunk really rather quickly.

Stoford, Kingston, Ashton....bah...cider my ass, I like lager me

[elephantsoup]

I am quite fond of a bottle or six of Henry Westons Vintage Special Reserve.

I love cider but the heartburn it gives me is unbearable. Usually have to take a couple of zantac during a session.

One of my all time favourite drinks. We used to do the "cheddar valley challenge" in one of my local pubs. You have to sit at the bar and drink four pints of the stuff without getting off your bar stool. After the four pints your allowed to get up to go for a piss but your legs tend not to work quite as well as they should . Quite like stowford press, its definately better than blackthorn and strongbow etc, etc. But for me you cant beat a good old can (or ten) of Natch!

Thatchers Old Rascal, yummy!

I do like a nice cider, when I get bored of the Ales, one particular favourite is Green Goblin from Wychwood, I tried it as I like their beers, it's from Thatchers orchards, and most of the Thatchers or Westons ciders are pretty good, as mentioned above as well though I do like a Westons Vintage.

Magners is for fucking girls, and it's about as Irish as my arse.
Most of the apples are grown in England, pulped and then sent to Ireland for brewing. They don't tell you that in the adverts.

Westons is lovely stuff, and Stowford Press is a nice easy going cider. The Export is nice too, and any of the bottled Vintage stuff is proper head fucking tack.

It's made in Much Marcle, not Ledbury.
Ledbury is the nearest town.

Look out for Westons Cider ICE this summer, lovely stuff.

One thing that sets Westons apart from many other cider makers, is that its still a family run business.

Henneys is lovely stuff, and is made in the village I live in.

i've just found one to avoid...

was in tesco at the wknd, and there was one bottle left of "Sheppy's Goldfinch". Had a nice sticker saying "tesco's drinks award winner 2008".....

but it tastes fucking shite
