Anyone know of other ciders that have a bit of bite? I like normal Strongbow because it isn't as sweet as all the others I have tried. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ErnestTurnip 157 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Westons Vintage or Thatchers Katy, you'll be able to get them to try as a 4 for £6 or 3 for £5 depending on where you shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boogs 67 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 3 Rattlers deep and another 3 to go. A fresh bottle of Sailor Jerry keeps winking at me as well.

ErnestTurnip 157 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 One of them beer box type things came this week and it had summat in it from the SALT people who make the very nice IKAT. Was an NEIPA called HUCKABUCK, think it was about 5.5%, and was the first new beer I've tried for ages that I actually enjoyed and would drink again. Don't think that it was directly responsible for me ordering a family set of Oodies and a 35mm film camera but it might have contributed in a small way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
