The cider cask

Cider glasses were made in England from 1630. In the Georgian period, the glasses reached a pinnacle of beauty with stems showing multiple air mercury or opaque twists. Cider glasses were always a minority but often the engraving was exquisite. Circa 1765 #cider #glasses #Georgian #drinking

From memory I know! It’s the balanced combination of breaded base, with sweetness, richness and crunchy outer firmness without the overpowering of any one element that makes it perfection. Though it’s years since I last had one.

Another fine footpath upkeep job from those legends at CROWS, funded by donations from our patrons.

A path that is very well used by the community and just round the corner from the pub. communityrightsofwayservice.blogspot.com/2025/05/myth... #HebdenBridge

My second book is out in the world, and you can get your hands on a copy from the CAMRA website now.

Lardy cake for sure. You rarely see it and many don’t know how delicious it is.

If you transpose the word apples for grapes I doubt whether the eu would find a 50% juice content as an acceptable amount to be able to call the fermented result wine. Why the discrepancy?

An appropriate photo! Good to see you still have a local paper. They’re still popular in Brittany but in the uk have mostly died out. No better place for local news!

A stack of polykegs (bag in keg) with handwriting on the keg: HMJ Browns Keeved.

A world first? Unfiltered, unpasteurised, naturally sparkling, keg-fermented, live, keeved cider.

London Cider & Perry Club will be the first to try it, straight from the keg, this Thursday!

There’s something very satisfying about a pint measure….or even a quart for cider!

One of the things about our museum is that visitors think it's going to be small from the front. But it stretches... This was drone footage from our building work last year when we had to demolish and rebuild one of the 1890s 'champagne cider cellars'.

A very drinkable event!

Exciting news! Not sure how I'm gonna beat the Connaught recipe book though.

There’s quite a bit of cider too!
