Raison D'Etre 2023 from @rosscider.bsky.social in @thatbeerplace.co.uk is much softer than the 2022 which surprised me. Definitely one of my favourite editions of the Raison

Was lucky enough to be on the judging panel for this cider and it blew me away! An absolutely perfect Yarlington Mill S.V. - the character of the variety captured at perfect ripeness and fully expressed.

THAT BEER PLACE... @thatbeerplace.co.uk · Jul 14

Sorry folks, in the name of education, we're going to be closed on 15th July as The Ciderologist, Gabe Cook hosts the Cider Association's Certified Cider Professional training, both for our team & some other lucky peeps.

Maybe some of the attendees will go on to become fully fledged Pommeliers 🤔

A particularly fun cider. We bottled half and kept half, and now, solera style, we've blended in some 2023 vintage. New edition comes out at end of August!

Kicked off the weekend @uddersorchardcider.bsky.social cider festival. A brilliant community event with over 25 ciders on offer. Going to be a beautiful weekend, so may have to nip down again.

Cider Review @ciderreview.bsky.social · May 11

A repost for Sunday readers.
A fascinating look at how a country reacted to a new threat to their fruit industry. While the UK had fireblight as a reportable disease since the 1950s, it seems those support networks have been forgotten, growers starting from scratch as it spreads again in Britain.
