A huge thank you to Matt & Will from Wild West Cider for joining us at last night’s Manchester Cider Club! They took us on a brilliant journey through six ciders and a Perry, sharing the stories, ideas and passion behind every glass. Some seriously cracking drinks, and a great evening all round!
Another blend - Sweet Popping, Crimson King and Dabinett - a 2024 just released
An older Method Traditionelle cider - largely Kingston Black - some acid and a little tannic
Onto a definitely sweet cider - the Entertainer - a blend
A huge thank you to Seb from Seb’s Cider for making the trip up to Manchester and giving us such an enjoyable evening! It was fascinating to hear the stories behind the ciders, the orchard, and the passion that goes into every bottle - has a round of applause ever occurred mid tasting before?!
A huge thank you to Caroline and Adam from Three Wells Cider for joining us at Manchester Cider Club on Wednesday evening. It was a real privilege to hear the story behind the cidery & to be among the first to taste their superb ciders. Your passion, honesty & generosity made for a fantastic night!
Unctuous sweetish cider made from White Norman apples, and our final cider of the night
A single variety Stoke Red - medium sweet cider balanced by high acidity.- cold racked
A dry mainly Tremletts Bitter (with Harry Masters & Kingston Black) cider - disgorged depending on speed of operation rather than freezing the neck
I have never known this sort of a set up @manchestercider.bsky.social before. Artistraw are setting up @balancebrew.bsky.social
This month, Manchester Cider Club is delighted to welcome @artistrawcider.bsky.social , the Herefordshire-based natural cidermakers whose thoughtful, low-intervention approach has earned widespread praise from drinkers and critics alike. Tickets - thecatintheglass.co.uk/product/mcr-...
Now this 2021 with lots of Yarlington Mill is rather complex, with a grassy nose and a hint of vanilla and reasonable tannin
A perry from two different unique pear varieties - touch of sugar and a modicum of natural sorbitol 6.6%
Chisel Jersey - still sweet, but a bit more acidity and definite tannins
One of the keeved secrets is to bottle before fermentation has ceased. One gone a bit drier.
A Yarlington Mill single variety - smooth and mainly destined for a blend. Very accessible
