Tom Oliver collaborations and Small Bar tasting. Making hybrid drinks with Tom Oliver has become a cornerstone of our annual production. We're continually delighted to be able to create beer/cider/perry co-fermentations with Tom. Each season, the question beckons, "What shall we do this year?".

Really sad to hear that Fierce Bar Manchester is to close at the end of December It has been a wonderful venue for the monthly Manchester Cider Club www.instagram.com/p/DDW9rp6AaZ...

The Yarlington Mill is excellent, we had it when Balance came to Funk Club @thatbeerplace.co.uk just enough peatiness to not overpower the spice and red apple

Wonderful night at Fell NQ for the Cat in the Glass 4th Birthday celebration - loved the @nightingalecider.bsky.social collaboration Super range of cider and perry: draught sparkling & still, by the glass and sharing bottles

Manchester Cider Club this month is in person at Fierce Bar NQ, 57 Thomas St, M4 1NA. This will be on Thursday 12th December from 6pm with James Marsden from Gregg's Pit! [Please note the early start!]

So sad not to be able to attend in person but overjoyed that Perry: A Drinker’s Guide won the Susanna Forbes Award for Communication about Cider at @britbeerwriters.bsky.social last night. A privilege, and amazing for perry to get recognition from a competition of this standing. Thanks so much.

Delighted to have won the Corporate Comm’s category for my work on CAMRA Learn and Discover, CAMRA’s online learning platform for anyone wanting to learn more about #beer, #cider, #perry and #pubs. It features videos, audio content, articles and guides tailored for all knowledge levels.

On behalf of our group of contributors, congratulations to co-founder @adamhwells.bsky.social for winning the so well deserved @britbeerwriters.bsky.social Susanna Forbes Award for Best Communication about Cider, for Perry: A Drinker’s Guide. Such a remarkable book, we had no doubt!

Keg-conditioned cider has been absolutely essential to us, crow-barring open a latent demand for good cider. By giving (i.e. forcing) samples to customers (along with a well trained team) it's helped us grow cider sales more than three-fold.

Good to see a shout out to Pom (who, incidentally, will be at Gladwells’ Christmas market in Camberwell this Saturday if you want to sample their cider).

Beatrix heads to the English capital to meet one of London's newest cidermakers.

“Ciders that ripple with texture and character; that billow and swell with their joyous fullness; that allow themselves, at last, to be wholly known.” Another wonderful #cider feature from the @ciderreview.bsky.social’s inimitable Adam Wells in @pelliclemag.com

I’m immensely grateful to CAMRA for providing the opportunity of this role. Genuinely proud to bring a win for the team alongside all the wins last night for CAMRA contributors and authors. It was a great night @britbeerwriters.bsky.social awards.

This is a great piece of observation by Adam on the opportunities for keg conditioned cider. Breaking into the draught market will be one of low intervention ciders greatest challenges.
