Lovely stuff. How people can drink Strongbow and Blackthorn is beyond me! They changed Blackthorn's recipe, and the locals around here went mad (not sure why, it was shit anyway) so they kept the original recipe for a little part of Somerset, and shipped the even worse stuff off everywhere else.

Bloody loved going round Healey's Cyder Farm in Cornwall last month during our holiday.

Always liked Cornish Rattler so to sample their reserves and jams/whiskies etc was great.

Tremendous establishment.

Cornish Rattler is stupendously good. It costs an arm and a leg though.

No worse than the sub-standard Cornish ales though.

I'll post some photos of the farm in a mo - great day out with kids too.

Soooooo much to choose from:

The jams they make - strawberry and chili was AMAZING:

And to think I got told to piss off with my wine and whiskey at the start of the thread as this was the beer thread.

How much does a pint set you back up there?

Ales are at a minimum of £3 down here, even for local ones. Our village pub charges £3.10 for Carling!

 

[tricky wolf]

about the same here but the real ale is cheaper than carling !

I was paying £2.90 and £3 for a pint of ale in the Combemere last night. Guinness was £3.40.

I think the Clarendon, which is next to Banks's Brewery, is one of the cheapest at about £2.65 for a guest ale and £2.40 ish for a Banks's.

Real Cider is recognised by CAMRA therefore allowed.

In your face.

Oh and I'm in position for the game down the local and a pint of Glow is £2.70. Much cheaper than the lagers or Guinness.

It wasn't so long ago that it was £1.80. Or even £1.60 before that.

When I was a student, bitter was 85p a pint in the union. Lager was 90p, and the pubs first started opening all day in my first year there. No wonder I turned into such a connoisseur*

Yet you're posting photos of a whiskey distillery and bottles of wine. And I don't care what CAMRA recognise, if cider was beer it would be called beer.

My arse in your face.

It isn't a whiskey distillery actually. It was a bottling plant where they also happen to bottle whiskey. The whiskey part happens to be in that photo collection but I chose not to post it.

More importantly, it's my thread so make your own, poo face. (Vital comma just there).

Apologies - I meant the distillery. That isn't the distillery.

(Come to think of it - those bottles might not be whiskey - it might be cider. Cider 'expert', me.....:icon_lol
