Nuff said!

Cruising for a bruising.  I guess Twoo just nominated herself for all the crap tank jobs til WotLK!

twoo is incorrect, clearly all the fresh air she's been getting recently has affected the synapses.

So, Which ciders then?

And various home produced still scrumpies, which don't have web sites. Just good cider in general. But none of this Strongbow crap!

You are in for such a beating, padawan!

what topic sais ^^

*blinks*

What's a beerforum for then for beer?

Go ask for a ciderforum!

Be content, or I'll make  ALL forums cider-forum  ^__^

I can't drink more than 1-2 cider before I think it's too sweet or too dry..  beer however....

That's a valid point;  Cider is either sahara dry or Coca-cola sweet.

WTF is up with that?

One day I'm going to get both english dry cider and swedish 'cider' and mix it 50-50 or so.

Hard to find proper ciders here in finland. But I do like Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or

We have quite a lot of ciders in the UK which are medium or medium dry. They make for good all night drinking!

Additionally, CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale- Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or ) also supports both Real Cider, and Real Perry, including a very good guide, which provides details of ciders, real cider serving pubs, and most importantly, farms which sell over the gate.

This is, however, a place where I disagree with Twoo. Cider isn't _better_ than beer. It's different. Good Cider is better than bad beer, good beer is better than bad cider, and good cider and good beer are just different, and equally good, in different circumstances.

So, is this the time to mention Calvados/Apple Brandy?

MMm, indeed. Westons is nice cider, agree there.

Old Rosie Scrumpy  is so far my favourite scrumpy that I've tried, But again, that's also Westons so I'm not too surprised.

You discover: Norwegian Cider (?)

Well Depends on the "Swedish" cider.  Currently, Kopparbergs and a few others aren't "cider" but "Alkoholhaltig dryck av Cider-typ"   Which means that you need an alcohol-serving license  ( It's not covered under beer/Cider license)  due to that it's basically a sweet Apple-wine brewed to obscene amounts of alcohol and then diluted with carbonated water.  *shiver*


Kiviks (astakan) however make a quite nice, medium-sweet and Sweet cider.

brittanny cider ftw!

Any norwegian 'cider' is the sweet and carbonated kind -- if it can be called cider at all  =-|

The only cider I really know is Rekorderlig from sweden: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or

How is that compared to the best ciders?

Only one way to go, corn-syrup inspired yummy scrummy yob culture goodness!

*lowers head so mistress doesnt have to work that hard kicking it*

*kicks it muchly*

Well Cider is good if you want to get really drunk, you can just keep drinking and pissing, never stops.... :)

Being a dutch student, I've had my share of beers. But Cider, don't think I've ever had the pleasure (?) of drinking one. They aren't that common here in the lower lands I think.

Well Swedish Cider atleast tends to be like a soda with alcohol, got way to many different tasted, peach, apple, currant etc etc.

You need to goto an english or irish bar then.

Might I recommend:

The Fiddler and Firkin in Den haag, I used to work there a long time ago, it was very popular so i have no worries that it'll have disappeared.

The Abbot Arms in Leiden, might still be there you never know.

That said... Dutch lagers >>> English Lagers. English Ales reign Supreme and Real English cloudy Cider/Perry actually is quite nice even if you can't stand the other regular stuff.

I think the one cider I mostly consume is Crowmoor's dry apple. Its not the best there is but its cheap and quite tasty :p There was some really nice english ones I tried ages ago which actually tasted very apple-y but my memory fails me.

But she's right! Cider > Beer :O atleast imo tbh kk?

X-cider...!

That said, one should do a dry -> sweet -> dry -> sweet order. The dry is harder to drink, and might well make you long for something a little sweeter. Then the sweeter comes along (with or without the kick of high amounts of alcohol) and you can easily manage the sweetness without getting too much of it!
