A very small cidery located in South London. We pick culinary apples in Kent and ferment at our maisonette in SW16. Lovers of pubs, booze and cats.

Our local Service trees (still wrapping my head around calling them Cormus domestica) are having a bumper crop this year. Shame I don't have the brain capacity to pick them!

We're heading to the orchards this weekend to see the state of the apple crop. I'm thinking 2024, but worse. That year we got 100kg off our 80 Cox's orange pippin trees.

Back at the Harp after the change of management. I'd have to say the women's toilets have improved. Some Nightingale Disco on,so not completely lost on cider. Went for a pint of Sussex best. Absolutely stunning. Happy to come back again.

Tapped the Viez we picked up in Trier, DE last month. Lovely sweet, caramel nose with a good acidic finish. "Mit gas" gives it a nice lift.

At craft beer bar Caps in Biarritz. Lovely spot next to the market. We've gone for some refreshing tap beer in 30°+. Good selection and some familiar names from our trip up to northern France in June including Piggy Brewing and Hoppy Road. Happy Saturday y'all.

First lost batch of cider in 6 years. 😭 Just a touch acetic. The good news is it gives us an opportunity to clean and top up our vinegar tank that was nearly empty.

Looking forward to a lil trip over the Channel tomorrow to have ourselves another European adventure. HOWEVER, we are sad to be missing our first FyneFest since 2013, but we've got a lot of plans in the next 10 days. Have fun in The Glen without us.

Our local pub finally re-opened yesterday. While the interior design was a bit chavvy and the drinks selection was boring, it was just nice to be back in that space with our friends again.
