Cider.

[lifetime fan]

Deserves its own thread. I love the stuff.

 

Anyone mentioning Irish pish or other such shite will be negged to death.

 

I am currently drinking a lot of it.

Natch? are you a tramp?

 

I used to quite like an Old Rosie or a Thatcher's booster for a first pint and to get me started on a Friday when I lived down in the Westcountry.

 

But a treat was a trip to Sheepy's for a flaggan or two,

 

Sheppy's traditional Somerset farmhouse cider from Taunton

I've got a bottle of Henry Westons Vintage Reserve 8.2% bad boy in my fridge, waiting for a special occasion

Natch is an eye opener or fuel on the coach to a certain sporting event. Not a 'real' cider I agree, but great still the same.

 

Old Rosie is a lovely pint, where in the south west were you mate?

Tonight is a special occasion.

 

Drink it to celebrate the birth of the TLW cider thread.

Exeter and Tiverton.

 

But also used to do the odd night out in Taunton (the Winch especially) for a good Cider experience.

Very much a summer drink to my mind, just like bitter is a winter drink. That's just how I roll, I pigeon hole shit.

Used to spend all my summers 20 minutes from Tiverton.

 

Yeatheridge, you know it?

It's a drink for all seasons and all times of the day mate.

Old Rosie is my "sorry darling, tonight i'm getting absolutely cunted so you'll find me asleep on the stairs in the morning" drink. Love it. Quite partial to Scrumpy Jack also.

Old rosie is a lovely pint, not keen on Scrumpy Jack, too sweet for me.

I don't mate no. I know the geography quite well as I worked as a Town Planner for Mid Devon.

 

Having just googled it, if its Yeatheridge Farm caravan park? Then its in my old patch and I was one of the Officers for that area by the looks of it. I've been to all the local towns and villages around that farm, but not that farm itself.

 

The area is a funny one, cos it'd quite beautiful one minute and probably National Park standard, then sparse rough agricultural the next. I loved it down there though. I was just a bit too young and needed a bit more life. Wrong time of life and all that.

 

Edit: Actually looking at it, it may sneak in North Devon's patch, but I certainly know most of the stuff to the east and immediate south and west

Yep.

 

You must know Witheridge, Nomansland etc.

 

Fucking small world.

 

I loved it down there and desperately want to move down that way.

 

We're back down to Okehampton in 3 weeks.

[RJ Fan club]

Yeah my best mates Dad had a farm out Templeton, so used to go Nomansland/Witheridge a bit. Also that was defo in my patch.

 

Can't for the life of me remember the name of the pub in Nomansland now, used to do boss food.

 

Had to Google it, The Mount Pleasant. Good days.

The young farmers do's down there were legandary.

 

I once had to stop a copper getting a blowie so he could phone an ambulance for some guy out of his tits on pills and pissed.

 

The Mount Pleasant did a cracking all day breakfast, many a time we'd stop there on the way.

Screw me Julie used to drink in the Mount Pleasant.

 

She did the livery at the caravan park and I nailed here in the digger of a JCB.

 

Proper punching above my weight!

I had two of those christmas morning with my fry up!!

[Fowlers God]

And anyone that mentions that Stella Cidre, Magners, Bulmers or any of this look at me shit that they still put ice in regardless of tempreture will get negged to death.

 

The Thatchers Gold is divine on tap. Only found it once on tap round these parts and it was only a quickie.

 

Aspinalls is also another nice tipple.

Where are you mate?

 

Was up for the Oldham game and the closest to cider I could get was Strongbow.

Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire. The Thatchers I found on tap was down in High Wycombe when I was at a customer meeting a few months back. Just stopped into have a piss and saw the little beauty and couldnt resist.

 

Strongbow is pretty much what you will get round here on tap although a few pubs have started an alternative to the Strongbow and Bulmers trend, like an Old English or something along those lines.

 

I stopped drinking lager about 4 years ago and only drink cider now. I would prefer a shitty bottle of Morrisons own Cider to a can of Carling now. Larger just tastes, well pretty poo.

[lifetime fan]

I can still drink lager, just.

 

It needs to be a decent lager though.

 

Not seen anywhere sell 'cider' near L4 though.

Lifetime fan, he likes to the know the location of his fellow drinkers he does.

Far be it from em to suggest that the wonderful world of Lager stretches beyond a can of Carling FG, I don't mind cider in moderation but I'd rather have a bitter, like a spitfire or something as an alternative.

Too right.

 

I venture north of bristol and struggle to geta decent pint,

Any Cider fan needs to try 'Roaring Meg' by Lyne Down cider co. It is easily the best cider known to mankind.
