Temple Cider

Yesterday was National Apple Day.
We did not participate.
We are, by this point in the harvest, quite frankly, sick of the sight of them. 😅

NEW cider! 🍎Kingston Black 2023🍎

Naturally sparkling, wild-fermented dry cider from Dorset. We hand-harvested the Kingston Black apples in the autumn of 2023. Delicious!

Available from our webshop in a case of 6, or select as part of a mixed 750ml case.

Hoping she still has plenty of fun-filled days ahead. Special old Yarly girl. 🥰

Great!

I've decided I'm having cider for dinner.

We try to use the ciders that are pretty clear when at the correct SG for bottling as pet nat. 🙂

Hope you've enjoyed it. Cheers!

Picking them up would be much easier if they were all monsters! 😅

She's got the right idea. Love her. ❤️

Paul has done lots of picking-up of apples and pears in the rain this week. These are Morgan Sweet. From the tree to the truck!

Bright, dark red, shiny Bloody Ploughman apples on a tree.

Bloody Ploughman is a stunning-looking apple. This is one of the trees we planted around the farm buildings not long after we moved to Temple Farm. Looking back to when we planted those trees, we had no clue that 10 years later we'd be 'Temple Cider'.

Ciders from @rosscider.bsky.social @templecider.bsky.social Oliver's Fine Cider, Kerisac, and Superstition along with a Mistel from Somerset at tonight's @chesterciderclub.bsky.social in @thatbeerplace.co.uk along with a few from one of our members who makes their own. Top night, great people!

Harvest 2025 has begun!

We started with Hellen's Early, but then realised the Thorn perry pears were slightly riper so moved on to harvesting Thorn instead.

First two photos are the Thorn, and in the final photo Hellen's Early are in the foreground.

Many more hauls like this to come!

We've just sold out of BiB perry, so no more available until the pears we'll be starting to pick this week have been transformed into this magical drink. Hope you're feeling patient! 🙃

We do still have perry in kegs, cans and bottles, of course, for those who can't wait. 😌

Yes, this comment from Albert shines almost as brightly as the medal! 😉

Was lucky enough to be on the judging panel for this cider and it blew me away! An absolutely perfect Yarlington Mill S.V. - the character of the variety captured at perfect ripeness and fully expressed.

Thank you so much! 👍 We're very happy. 😊

How to break the news to him that his Kingston Black 'ball' really has got to go to apple heaven now.

Black and tan dog looking up from his bed. He has his paw on a stick and has a Kingston Black cider apple at the side of him that he collected earlier.

Tell me you're a cider dog without telling me you're a cider dog. 🐶🍏
