Best websites online to find American (or more difficult to find European ciders)? Apart from the obvious places. Any suggestions? #realcider #craftcider #cider

Do any of my cider friends have recommendations for a decent full juice keg cider (ideally Westcountry style) which a bar in Huddersfield could stock without logistical issues? (Not Hogan's as that's already available in several places locally)

We started Branch to do cider differently. We want to help establish a model where local orchards get to enjoy proper returns for growing the best cider apples on earth and local drinkers get to enjoy proper ciders without it costing the earth (financially or environmentally!) 🧵

It’s time folks! After many happy years making cider, I have decided to call last orders. A massive thank you to all who have supported and encouraged me over the years. Don’t panic - there will be delicious cider for a little while yet, see wildcider.uk for details.

#cider people, any idea what this apple variety is? One of my brother-in-law's has an apple tree in his back garden, but doesn't know what it is. It has a white, sweet flesh inside, and mostly red skin, but some smaller apples had a hint of green to them as well!

Yo Cider Twitter, we're creating a MASSIVE list of every UK Cidery taking donated apples this season. If you know of any please tag them and share the message! If this is you, please DM us :)

I've just found out the oak originally contained Jack Daniels, then Bushmills before the cider was matured in it.
Bought these from @manorfarmshopuk in Catthorpe. Had to seek out some remaining bottles of Vale of Welton Cider after recently reading they had ceased production in 2019 ☹️. Didn’t know this until recently & very saddened. Anyone have any more info ? @Northants_CAMRA #realcider – at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, England

I have to say @RishiSunak that reducing the tax on all “Fruit Ciders” does not make for a healthy budget. Some of those drinks include the same amounts of sugar as the most unhealthy soft drinks. #Budget2021 #Budget cider-review.com/2021/10/13/…

Long shot but anyone going to the Harvest time celebrations at Much Marcle able to give me a lift back to some point of civilisation? I *think* I can get a bus there (albeit 9 in the morning 🤦) but there's no way to return
