I spent far too much of January tinkering with watches, scrolling slack-faced through reels and shorts, and procrastinating on cidery stuff I should have had done in the dark weeks. But now Cider Review is back, and I realise I should have been writing more too! 😁 But Saturday is a nice one.
Following our January break, this Saturday we reopen the Cider Review doors. Kicking off, @barmas.bsky.social will be in conversation with a wonderful German maker you have probably not heard of, but should.

Very proud of our @ciderreview.bsky.social contributors today. Briefed to supply ‘a few words, just a couple of hundred’ for our year-end, they’ve basically all said ‘no, nuts to that’ and done 700+. Truly a writing team after my own heart.

Delighted and kind of staggered to see Perry: A Drinker’s Guide next to some of the best and most important drinks books of recent years on the André Simon Awards Longlist. Given the competition I’d say this is as far as I go, but it’s further than I ever expected and a huge confidence boost.

My favourite ciders and perries of the year, with a few thoughts on why. Nice to be publishing this the day after we hit 6 figures of hits for the first time in a year. We’re hugely grateful, and delighted that cider and perry’s audience continues to grow.
Adam’s essential case of 2024.

A changing world and one of the UK’s most-awarded cidermakers. Didn’t expect this piece to give me so much pause for reflection - time of year, maybe. Anyway – get after those Palmers ciders and perries however you can.
Four perries and a cider from Palmers Upland.

A very very satisfying re-arrangement of the cider shop today. We are at a record 28 different single variety ciders!! In all we have 84 different ciders and perries just made by us, with another 35 made by guest producers.

Such a cool article unearthed and translated by @barmas.bsky.social. Even if it does show I’m over a century behind the times in my writing.
Notes from the past: Der Zider, 1913.
Barry (@barmas.bsky.social) takes us back to 1913, and an article from a German periodical explaining why cider was deserving of more respect than it received. Plus ça change!

If you have any curiosity about the wonderful drink that is Perry, I’d definitely recommend Adam’s book (and not just because I get a mention in it 😜). From CAMRA books, or other online retailers, or better still, order it from your local book store.

So sad not to be able to attend in person but overjoyed that Perry: A Drinker’s Guide won the Susanna Forbes Award for Communication about Cider at @britbeerwriters.bsky.social last night. A privilege, and amazing for perry to get recognition from a competition of this standing. Thanks so much.

Pleased to have space to unpack my thoughts on keg-con cider on @pelliclemag.com. Genuinely feel it's cider's answer to cask – natural, live, conditioned cider on draught. Would love to see it more widely adopted by producers and by good independent pubs and bars.
As promised, a thought provoking and florid piece by Adam Wells all about keg-conditioned cider and its special, delicious qualities 🍎

Got The Life — Keg Conditioned Cider's Answer to the Pub Cider Problem — Pellicle
Vivid, coppery-gold cider trills from the tap, frisky with the briskness of light, spritzy mousse. It settles in the glass, gleaming; tight, fine whorls of bubbles aglitter with microscopic life. It...
