LOST APPLE 'RYMER' REDISCOVERED! Thanks to amazing sleuthing by Stephen Ainsleigh Rice in England and Gary Sully in Australia, this wonderful cooking apple has been confirmed rediscovered. Believed lost for nearly 100 years, DNA testing shows it was a grandparent of Bramley. 1/3

I'm drinking cider from a 1900 half pint silver-plated pub mug. And it makes the mug looked gilded inside.

There aren’t many outlets that post such regular content dedicated to cider. And though we only publish once a week this year (last year was a blistering twice a week), I’m proud of the coverage we give. We don’t get mentioned much on socials or beer sites, but if you like this kind of content… 🙂

@barmas.bsky.social Do you remember that conversation we had on Twitter a couple of years ago, about an engraving of a. 18th century London tavern, selling Redstreak cider? We've found a painted version!

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.
Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

What a day. Giving the keynote speech at the biggest cider maker’s conference in Britain was not something that I’d ever envisaged doing. So thank you to @3ccpa.bsky.social for inviting me. The cider community here is just so open and welcoming. Failed to take photos of my talk 😁

You know when you're attending something good when you completely forget to take photos. #Craftcon was superbly organised: well done Three Counties Cider and Perry Association!! What a programme. And it was so good to be able to do a talk at it for the museum, on Cider brandy.

Arresting Quaker women for non-violent protest and breaking into a meeting house to do so. The first time anyone has been arrested in a meeting house in living memory. Despicable behaviour from a Labour government’s Home Office/the Met Police.
🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

I bought this sherry cask (very reasonably) for a display at the Museum, but can't find an accurate date for it. 1930s- 1960?
