Duckchicken Cider

Remembering my old housemate tonight who let himself go too early. Rip Stefan.

It was very reasonable. Our bus stopped right outside.

We got derailed (x2) going home from Pig's Ear.

A protest pee goes a long way.

Hi Pancake!
Hope she's ok. Our cat decided to start pissing on our couch while we were away. No UTI, just pure protest.

Yey Kris!

Morgen Anu (and Barry)!

Pleased to have two ciders back on at Pig's Ear Beer Festival this year, running 2-5 December. We are planning to attend on the 2nd. If you are there, come say hi! www.pigsear.org.uk/pigs%20ear%2...

Cause there are no trees.

Hydropress filled with pulp with tanks of cider behind.

London pubs/bars/bottle shops: need cider? We have been slack on selling cider this year, but that changes TODAY. We will be doing deliveries of bag in box, cans and keykegs the next couple weeks, so get in touch if you're interested in having our cider on at your establishment!

Don't let us down Emma!

Glass of beer and a can glistening in the sun.

Pre-Dulwich Hamlet match visit to Hop Burns & Black. The A&H Green hopped ale has not let me down.

Hive mind I'm going to London on Friday and then I'm considering Rye and Brighton, before I commit, and I know the season has just ended, but any thoughts on placess I can get a good selection of green hopped beers in that neck of the woods (Kent, E Sussex, London) ? #bskybeer

I would be pleased to know too as I missed them all before we went away.

Hand holding a bottle of Monteith's cider in Auckland airport lounge.

Trying the Monteith's cider on my way out of NZ (in the lounge) and back to London. It's ok. Too sweet for me, but nice apple flavour. Hope next time the weather is better and we can make it to Nelson.

Found some cocktails in paradise. 🇫🇯

Stuck in Christchurch for an extra day due to a state of emergency being declared due to high winds. A bit disappointed, but it does mean we could visit Renegade Brewing and catch up on 10+ yo Combat Aircraft magazines.

Pint of IPA

Two Thumb Brewing location on Manchester Street is fantastic. IPA, sour and Mexican food are on point.

Absolutely! It's only been 48 hours and I'm very happy with the beers and ciders I've tried.

A hydropress with the top off, loaded with pulp to press.

We've got the 90l hydropress (as pictured), a speidel scratter and a fish pond for cleaning apples.

Our buckets are used for picking, pulp and juice. That's about the extent of our equipment.

A pint of cider on the bar.

Pump clip for Red Apple Ciderette.

Some NZ cider from Renegade Brewing at Canterbury Brewers Collective in Christchurch. Great spot. Seems like a lot of breweries produce at least one cider here. I would like to know more about this.

You are right.

A stemmed glass of beer on a marble table. Street scene in the background.

Off Day Brewery lager in Singapore. Decent, but worth £10.79? As it's the only beer I had there, I'll say yes.

Nice, full-ish tanks of cider and a hydropress in a back garden.

We finished our production for the year on Saturday. Just shy of 1000 litres, which is more than we anticipated we would make. (not pictured: 300 litres of Easter Hill already racked).

Yeah we are definitely going to try and get some Peckhams. Would love to visit though!

We really try our best to stick to cider, other booze and pubs for what we post. Might just be the break in the timeline someone needs and, yeah, we probably need to post more regularly.

Also, please keep posting here about booze and pubs!
