Can anyone recommend any local cider outlet. I went to the local supermarket but there was little in the way of choice of still Cider. I prefer medium sweet, but, dry over sweet. I rather have unsweetened, if that is the correct way to put it.
I am no-way an expert, but I did enjoy the cider at the Thatcham Beer festival a while back, but I would like to be able to go and buy a box, or flagon (or whatever container) from a local out-let if possible, for the fridge (for these warm muggy nights). BTW - this is the big problem with the demise of the Off-licence, is that supermarkets tend to stock popular, over range. |

You could try one of the following all are local Cider producers and have lists on their sites of local outlets.

Thanks for that. I notice one brewer...0.5L, 10L or 22.7L!!!
 Bit of a ramp-up there! 3L would be good...save on the red nose!

Those quantities are really designed for pubs, although the 3 litre size is convenient for the home. The producers also sell in bottles - 500 ml and 750 ml. If you contact them they will tell you of the outlets. |

I don't have any recommendations regarding outlets, but I drink Koppergerg cider which is lovely. Maybe too sweet for you though? |

Thanks Brewmaster and Rosewinelover (interesting aliases
) . Although when the time is right, I'll drink most medium/dry dry cider, even the 'fake commercial' ones, but I like still cider best. I understand that 'commercial' cider is very sugary!
