It's Ross Cider Chester Cider Club this month. Martin holding court over proceedings with 7 ciders and a perry available on draft including 3(!) foxwhelp vintages. The thorn perry is star of the show though, superlatively good...congrats also to dale & Lisa for 2024 cider POTY award!

Finishing the evening with this lovely (rare) svp. Poured without the lees initially it's a brutal bruiser of a tanin driven perry that could be mistaken for ciderz with them added in it suddenly becomes sweeter and dessert wine like

CIDER & PERRY PUB OF THE YEAR! Last night we had an amazing time! Not only did we have the brilliant Ross Cider tap takeover, meet the cider maker & monthly Chester Cider Club Club meetup... but we were also presented with the award for West Cheshire CAMRA Cider & Perry Pub Of The Year...

Save the date!

After last month's award as West Cheshire CAMRA Cider Pub Of The Year we have progressed to win... 🏆 REGIONAL CIDER PUB OF THE YEAR 2024 🏆 This time last week, we celebrated Chester Cider Club's 2nd b'day as well as a TTO with the ever-awesome Little Pomona Cider

We're really pleased to be hosting three excellent speakers at the taproom on Sunday 4th August. Talks start at 3pm. Hope to see you there!

The farmhouse brewing database is up to 35,000 datapoints. The table on what spices people used in their beer has 958 separate accounts. Getting somewhere. Map shows where I can document that there was (or was not) farmhouse brewing.

Glad I've got Monday off... #impy #IrishBeer #beoir

Before the beer however am enjoying this Little Pomona Cider masterpiece. Gentle apple acidity and vanilla custard with a dry vinious finish. Superb and very moreish, quite unlike anything I've had from James, Susanna and team. Delicious.(Preceded by Tom Oliver Perry rolling blend)

Lovely day out in Llandudno with my dad visiting Penderyn Distillery and a few pubs and finishing with some excellent hoppy beers Wild Horse Brewing Co taprooma. #trainbeer courtesy of our final stop and very nice it is too
