The Cider Diaries-2/2/09
My friend Sian has been warning me about the dangers of brewing alcohol at home. "You have to be really careful to sterilise everything properly. We brewed our own beer when we were at uni, to celebrate the end of our exams but it ended up with blue mould floating on the top of it."
"Ugh!" I could feel my stomach turning over at the very thought of it.
"Yeah, it was quite grim, I only managed half a pint. Mind you I was quite hungover that day." Lovely.
Anyway, I went round to Fog's place last night where a bunch of us were watching the Will Ferrel movie Stranger Than Fiction. We have already learned that it is difficult to follow a film properly and give the discussion of cider the attention it deserves. We're not about to stop trying though.
50. Marks and Spencer Vintage Herefordshire Cider 2007
Me and Ceri both quite liked this strong(7.2%) but tasty cider. Fog on the other hand wasn't impressed, complaining that it was no better than the Marks and Spencers Organic Cider from before. This led on to a long and protracted discussion about Fog's wrong headed opinions about organic food and distracted us from furthur discussion of this cider, which was very nice.
51. Orchard Mill Medium Dry Cider
By this point we were all quite engrossed in the film and in any case it Orchard Mill was another run-of-the-mill large plastic bottle of cider, barely worth our attention. Ceri called it 'bland' which pretty much sums it up.
