Are we allowed to talk about Calvados or is this thread specifically for west country tipples?
Is it true that some scrumpy has dead animals in it?
Had some nice cider when on holiday in Brittany. Couldn't tell you what they were though.Quite a few of the real ale pubs in Sheffield stock a range of ciders and perrys.

Make yer own from local apples this autumn. Most people happy to let you have their apples these days.
As an aside wtf does natch I up barman mean? Is it an anagram?
Rosie is nasty. Mines a kentish Biddenden cider
Kent cider!?! Just say no!I nearly fell in to me apple masher
The usual fruity "ciders" are getting popular over here... But I've found a place that has Old Rosie in the flagons for only $20... Awesome!
have you got a breathalyser kit in the car, in accordance with current law?
January 2013 - the French government announced that the implementation of the sanction for drivers not carrying a breathalyser – a fine of €11 – has been postponed indefinitely.So theoretically you are still required to carry a self-test breathalyser when driving in France but there is no current legislation demanding a fine for non-compliance.

Awesome!Great stuff - you can save the sediment and culture proper cider yeast from it - make proper cider (malolactic fermentation) out of the cheap apple juice from Lidl, or whatever equivalent is in Aus. Just make sure it's 100% juice and nor preservatives etc.)
