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!

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?!

Now this 2021 with lots of Yarlington Mill is rather complex, with a grassy nose and a hint of vanilla and reasonable tannin

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

A big thankyou to Karl and Chris from Brennan’s Cider who talked us through 6 great ciders on Thurs (7 if you include the surprise at the end!). If you’ve not tried their cider, make it your next purchase. We had high expectations, and they really rose to meet them. We hope to have them back soon!

The first Pet Nat Perry from Fouçette pears, bought from a nearby farm. Aromatic and tannic - with local wine bases lees added - “kind of cool”

Unusually for a West Counties cider maker this is made from the eating apple - Egremont Russet - clean - no wood. Boozy nose and clean acidity.

Again not fully fermented ciders- phenolic/high tanning/ low acid - Balls Bitter Sweet - risky cider - tried to retain sweetness via keeving.

Driven by the fruit and a humble approach @littlepomona.bsky.social produce fully fermented ciders .. except the bitter sharp Stoke Red - racked to off dryness (balanced with acid). Very knockbackable
