Whilst working in Wolverhampton,i stumbled across a Cider called Aspell..cracking Cider it is too.

During our only heatwave this year,it was good to retire to the hotel beer garden,to sup as many as my company budget allowed.

Anyone tried it?

Prefer the orange stuff straight out of a plastic barrel...

....Sediment optional

edit: wrong brand, not sure what it is...this calls for another trip to the pub (and not get so drunk to forget next time )

Aspells is Ok...Not a bad drink..

Thatchers Katy is nice,but a bit sweet for my taste.

Henry westons vintage export is where its at

I like Aspall's. Another luffley one is Henney's they do a normal one in a clear bottle and a vintage in a black bottle.

Tesco's has stopped stocking Thatchers Katy

Black Rat?

Truly great tipple cider and perry, I mean the proper stuff, not Magners (yuk), Strongbow, etc. Best stuff is straight from the farm, my local place you can return the containers for refills straight from the barrel and save yourself a few pence.

Great in the bang per buck stakes too as every student knows

.:mike:.

Are you in somerset? I remember black rat from when I lived around there, not my personal choice though! There was a great farm shop that sold some amazing ciders by the gallon though - £4.50/gallon, was very nice too. You could even taste the apples - which is a lot more than can be said for strongbow etc, has an apple even been near that stuff at any point?!

Nope, its local stuff (Midlands).

I originally said it was Bulmers Traditional (not the Bottled Irish Bulmers), but not having had it for a while, and not being able to find any mention of it on the web, I thought I got it wrong.


But nope, I think I'm right. It is Bulmers (as in H.P Bulmers - Hereford), but I think it may have been rebranded of recent seeing they've been took over a few times and relaunched.

When we went to Symonds Yat last year, they had draught cider with crushed ice in it. It was like a slush puppie... mmmm heaven!

Another vote for Aspal's draught, I also like the Peronelle they do too, but that is expensive, even from Sainsbury's!

Well today i thought i had a mahoosive hangover from drinking Aspell's,i supped 11 bottles last night.But no,i had bladdy Blood poisioning,from a bite i recived at the Hotel in Wolverhampton.

So tonight im having the rest of my two cases,to make me feel better.

Then tommorow,im off to Morrisons,n Tesco,to stock up on more unknown names of Cider.

Not sure what it's called but a few of the 'offees' in wolves sell some home brew cider house cider and it's lovely! You buy it in a two litre container and if you go back for some more with the washe container you get a whole £ off the next 2 litres!
