Sam and Kim recently popped into The Jolly Fisherman in Hastings, a proper old-school pub housed in an 18th-century building, with a selection of craft beer, cask ales, Belgian bottles and ciders. Our Dabinett Bramley cider collab with @rosscider.bsky.social was pouring, so we had a glass!

I honestly thought Albert @rosscider.bsky.social was pulling my leg when he told me our Jeremias Runde had won 1st place in the @3ccpa.bsky.social Perry Championship, and then I was told it also got Best in Show, Supreme Champion! Really not sure how to process that yet! 😁 Thrilled!

It’s my new favourite drinking hole - perry and cider from all sorts of places and it’s just brilliant- Pat Lock is the very genial owner and can mix up a perfect combo of whatever taste palette you want. Heartily recommend - Thu to Sat.

Best thing about harvest season is that it is also baking season. A summer of being too hot to use the oven is now over! Huzzah!

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now

Thorn pears, from two different orchards. An iconic early season perry pear, probably the second most common variety after Blakeney Red. Good acidity with often light tannins too. Healthy, semi-vigorous trees. Heartily endorse.

Harvest has begun. We have moved almost everything on the farm in the last two weeks to create a festival and then a pressing space. It's a superhuman effort that requires long hours and determination. But yesterday we put the first pears through the press and already I am filled now with excitement

Four days to go to RossFest 2026. Another special volunteer dinner. Fourth crumble of the season. Bramley and mistakenly picked up Somerset Redstreaks. They fit in well though. Plus earlier: it was a bit wet.

When I took over the running of Cider Review two-and-a-half years ago, one of my goals (and act of self preservation) was to try increase the number of voices, especially geographically, on the site. So I’m very happy to welcome Will to our group of contributors, and it’s a great piece!

Great session @thatbeerplace.co.uk in #Chester y'day. No fewer than 7(!) ciders & perries on offer. Tried them all, in thirds. Ranged from 'very drinkable' to 'bloody gorgeous'. Personal fave was the @rosscider.bsky.social s.v. Major (on the left in the pic), v. dry w. superb depth of flavour.

Fascinating to compare the 1 year growth of these two different top worked trees. The first image shows Sandford Jersey and the second Kimbolton (I think, but I was walking Freya). Where one has exclusively upright growth, the bushier habit of the Sandford is quite exciting and unusual!

In the Yew Tree Peterstow drinking a 2025 Foxwhelp. Kegged as a pét nat it's a beautiful cider. Vibrant and juicy, with beautiful floral aromas, strawberry notes and of course that refreshing, intense acidity. Find it at: Fell NQ, MCR The Old Shoe, Sheffield Hereford Beer House

My song of 2026 is "Solar System" from the Travelling Songs Tonie. It's sung beautifully. It's also track 10 and I can't find it anywhere else online so getting to listen to it relies on my 19 month old daughter not replacing the player with her Peppa Pig audio story and resetting the progress.

If you drink one Ross-on-Wye this month it should be this 2022 vintage Bulmers Norman SV. It is, to me, a completely joyous cider. When the days are dark and wet, this cider is defiantly, gloriously fruity. In one glass, it is what bittersweet cider is meant to be!

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.
