Thanks
Thank you, friend! We're so glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I'm originally from Somerset. My grandfather used to make proper country cider from his orchard. It was a still cider, dry and quite sour on the tongue, but it packed a punch. A bit like drinking pints of white wine but in gulps not sips. As kids my father always had a 5 gallon barrel in the corner of the kitchen which us kids could help ourselves to when we wanted (10yrs +). Every local country pub had a local 'rough' cider and if you were not used to it, just a couple of pints could knock you out.
Drinking cider should always need some food to go with it, hence the ploughmans' lunch. Although, it was really just bread and cheese back in the farm hand's day. The farm hand payment was part made in cider by the farmer. Keep the workforce drunk and happy and don't worry about the health and safety around farm machinery.
Regular rough cider drinkers could never trust a fart.
To be honest, the old farmhouse 'scrumpy' cider is too harsh for the majority of people so all these carbonated and fruity ciders have been created to appeal to the normal people of the rest of the world.
Now go search 'The Wurzels' - 'I am a cider drinker'.
Sounds like it has quite the history here. I can understand why and how with the agriculture being such a big part of the country. I enjoy the more rough cider, if you will. But I can also understand why the larger companies went with carbonated and fruited. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Chris
I've had some of that it's deadly
I'm a cider enthusiast from Devon. I make about 1000 litres a year. The west of England have cider apple varieties that are 'bitter-sweet' apples, containing tannin, that are not very much used elsewhere. The ciders can have an amber colour, because of the tannins. Not very much found elsewhere.
My nan had a pub where she made her own still cider. If you were a stranger, no more than a pint, until you got your legs😂😂
Interesting. Thanks for the info. Tannin is one of those things that always find there way into conversation. I am used to hearing it regarding wine. Nice to hear it used with ciders also. Cheers, Chris
As a traditionalist, I have to say that cider should only contain apples, other fruits have no place in there. These sorts of ciders are just a fad that has developed over the last few years to attract younger drinkers. Cider is like other foods and drinks, needing perseverance to develop a palate. I have drunk all sorts, from bottled cider (I hate to admit that) to rough cider purchased at the farm gate in gallon jars (a UK gallon is quite a bit larger than it's US equivalent UK gallon = 4.54 Litres, US =3.68L). There used to be quite a few cider houses (like pubs but only sold cider) near where I used to live, the cider was served from barrels behind the bar, and it was very strong, usually 8% to 12% - of course there had to be a designated driver as these establishments were usually deep in the country in out of the way places and sold locally produced cider.
Sounds like a different time, but like it had quite a few good memories. There are all types of ciders, I do appreciate the original ones, just like beer and whiskey. Only what is supposed to go in it, but I also have grown to love the different aspects of adding the adjuncts, they can be over done, but when done right they are a very good product. Cheers, Chris
in my 60 something years of living in the north of England I couldn't tell you of any person I know who drinks cider or beer from bottles. If we want either ,we go to the pub and get it straight from the barrels.
Nice. Thank you for the tip friend! We appreciate your time to share with us. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarnin my 54 years living all over the UK I've drunk cider from bottles, cans, barrels, shoes, and pretty much everything else that can hold liquid 😂😂..
Im down South and we certainly are more open to drinking beer, lager and cider from bottles as well as cans and on tap,
Cider from the bottle is no different to wine. It's preferable to pasteurised & carbonated stuff that'll come out of the tap in most pubs.
with ice
Henry Westons is my favourite. 8.4% ABV. 6 of those over an evening goes down well.
Sounds like a good one. Cheers, Chris
The trouble with cider and especially scrumpy (homemade cider) is that it is often stronger than it tastes. It affects you differently such as you feel ok then get up to walk to the loo and only then realise your legs won't take instructions before you collapse in a heap😄
I guess that's down to the drinking habits of the individual consumer. Some folk need to check the light fittings are strong enough to swing from, prior to starting to drink..... Others take a more moderate view.
So true 😂
Interesting. Thank you for sharing your insight and thoughts with us. We really appreciate your time sharing. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarnMe and an old mate were down in Somerset we stopped off in a boozer , I had a couple of pints of bitter my mate drank scrumpy it had bit of apple in it he had a pint then went to the toilet, after that he was Brahms & Liszt to the point of being without speech or legs 😂😂😂😂
I may be showing my age, but before we went to the youth club, we would go to the pub and get a four pint draught pack of snakebite,( lager and cider mixed)Some pubs refused to sell snakebite, as it does tend to make people go mental
in the 1980s I walked the Pennine Way, backpacking. One very warm day we passed a remote farm that was selling home made cider/scrumpy. We stopped to refresh ourselves - just one pint - which almost finished us for the day. The heat of the sun with this very potent cider just made us want to curl up in the shade and sleep!
That sounds like it could do it! Cheers, Chris
Happy independence day, guys! and congratulations on netting your first 5,000 subscribers!....and what better way to celebrate than throw a "scrumpy/cider" tasting session.
We truly appreciate your love and support! We're so blessed to have such wonderful people like you. Hope you are doing well. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You wanna try Old Rosie ... And Scrumpy Jack ( Not in the cans ) .. Also Old Mout pineapple and raspberry is a lovely sunny afternoon drink .. The first two are for when you want to forget your name haha
Always a drink for every occasion. Cheers, Chris
As a West Country yokel, most of the mainstream ciders are bland considered to small brewers.
I live near the Somerset border and some small cider producers produce the best cider around.
I was tree felling in Batheaston ( near Bath) when the client brought out some "Knee trembler" we drank it at lunchtime, a few pints, not much work was done in the afternoon........... it was about 14% abv iirc.
The cider ( or cyder) was from ancient orchards that had been going for over 800 years, it was fantastic.
They did a small cyder that was 3.5%, that was reminiscent of woodpecker cider too ❤️❤️
Although its kinda funny Americans trying cider when their cider is just apple juice 😂
I forgot to add, when tasting ciders, a nugget of vintage cheddar helps the flavours of the drink.
Sounds like a great time and some great cider from such an old orchard. It would be something I would love to try. Not all of our cider is apple juice. We have some actual cider and it is growing with popularity especially as the craft beer market grows. Cheers, Chris
Thank you for doing this tasting. As others have said I don't classify those fruit ciders as real cider. On a different note would you consider getting a homebrew kit to make your own beer/lager? They are so good these days and you only need minimal and inexpensive equipment. No experience required, just follow the instructions.
Thank you so much! Chris is a home brewer and we make our own wine and beer to enjoy. We also love trying beers and ciders from our travels to appreciate the local craft. 🤍 Jess x
I used to make Scrumpy, as well as country wines (elderberry, elderflower, blackberry, nettles et al), it was not too bad. Great video!
Can we get Scrumpy from anywhere? Or does it have to be made? Thank you for your time, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn Commercially produced cider marketed as ‘Scrumpy’ ??? might be found in Supermarkets in your area. I’ve certainly seen it in Morrisons, but, I haven’t made a point of looking for it elsewhere, in Asda, Tesco etc. I’ve had ‘Real Scrumpy’ years ago while travelling through Somerset, bought from a farm where they produced it as a sideline. Farms usually had a sign posted by the roadside saying that they sold it, to attract customers. Presumably, that’s still the case today. The cider was very cloudy, very strong and at the time very cheap for a 5 pint container full. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the price, all things were cheaper back then!
@@DaydreamersBarn It's easy to make, but a lot of effort.
If you can lay your hands on about 20lbs of apples, smash them to a pulp and press the juice out of them. Pour it in to a flagon, fit an air lock and leave it somewhere warm & dark for about a fortnight - that's it.
You have the English Distillery quite near you, you can go and try some free samples there!
We have talked about that a few times. Sooner or later we will make it that way.
Hi jess, glad to see you much happier today .
Thank you for that, I am doing much better. 🤍Cheers. Jess x
Yes, if you want to try whiskeys, PLEASE don't forget to include a few Irish whiskeys. They are somewhat different from scotch whiskys (like the spelling), as they use a process which reduces the "peaty" taste of scotch. Though less well known, they shouldn't be regarded as the poor neighbour of scotch whisky - you can pay huge sums for older and rare Irish whiskeys. My regular (and inexpensive) favourite is "Paddy" from Cork in the South - named many years ago after their most successful salesman! (Needless to say, I'm a fan).
Fabulous, thank you for your insight on the Whiskey & Whisky! We will definitely look for them to put together a nice video. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Just FYI: most Scotch single malts (maybe 85-90%?) are NOT peaty at all and some Irish whiskeys definitely are peaty, so it is best not to generalise. Also: the plural of whisky is whiskies...
The Nottingham Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival returns to Trent Bridge on 9th-12th October 2024, featuring over 600 beers and 120 ciders, plus music across 2 stages and plenty of food
options.
You can get your tickets now ,you don't want to miss this one.
That sounds like a great time. Cheers, Chris
That was a lovely comment at the end. I do think kindness, honesty and delight in the things you see and do, creates so much good karma which we as viewers appreciate. So pleased that you will carry on when you got Stateside. There is so much we can enjoy there that we wouldn't normal get to see, especially as it will be with persoanal guides. Hope my other comments make it through with whisky recommendations. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Well thank you for the kind words. We are hoping it is going to be a great transition for the channel, especially for viewers from over here that, as you stated, can enjoy with us as your guides. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn Thanks, Chris. I'm sure looking forward to you developing and sharing your own lifestyle. If you have a postal box number, I'll try to send you some Jura whisky to try. Cheers to you all, Mark.
You might enjoy Weston’s Perry, made from pears, it’s sparkling and one or two will be enough for the evening 😂
Sounds delicious. Cheers, Chris
Here's a tip, if you do whisky, go North till you find people who are difficult to understand sometimes, but are very friendly and have the nectar of the Gods
Geordies? Nay lad.
@@chrisshelley3027 Ay man!!!! I could be talking about "dog" like. That nectar of the Gods could be the broon that powers all smoggies and geordies, away.
In other words, you know they are speaking english but you won't understand it.
Sounds like a good recommendation. We might have to take a trip. Cheers, Chris
Birmingham ?
Dont be shy, tastes are different. Enjoyed your take on this. Keep it up
Thanks for the support. Cheers, Chris
When you go to Jurrasic coast you must try proper Scrumpy (falling down water), I think Chris might like it. Only drank it a couple of times and "WOW". I lean to the dry end of the spectrum - Strongbow on tap at the most northerly cider pub in the UK, (Derbyshire) but this is going back 40 - 50 years lol. Great video again guys. Have a great 4th of July
Thanks for the comment. We will look for that when we do make our way down to Jurassic coast. Cheers, Chris
Great video 👍 The Blackcurrant fruit is used in a lot of alcoholic drinks.Be careful if you get a cloudy Farm cider it's usually very strong.Some places will only sell in half pints eg The Cider bar in Devon 😊
Good advice. We will keep any eye out for that. Cheers, Chris
#4. Good morning I have a couple of cans in my frige...
Nice! We really enjoyed the making of this video for you all. ☺️
Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I always look for Henry Westons Vintage ciders in supermarkets as my pick for a summer drink. For a fruity cider Kopparberg ciders, Swedish but regularly available in UK supermarkets.
Sounds like something we will keep our eyes out for. Cheers, Chris
American whisky versus U.K whisky?, you Americans are so funny,love you ❤❤
Might be interesting. Not professionals, but we know what we like. Cheers, Chris
You should look out for a local Beer festival, there are usually lots going on in summer. Try Perry if you can, it's cider made from pears.
Therefore it isn’t Cider.
Sounds like a good one to try. Cheers, Chris
Weston's "Old Rosie" is my winner ~ worth trying if you want to experience a quality traditional cloudy scrumpy cider.
We will keep our eye out for that one. Cheers, Chris
Great video. If you're still planning on going to The Jurassic Coast there is a place called Mill House Cider Museum that you may like to visit. When we holiday in Dorset we stay in Weymouth Bay and the cider museum is just down the road in Owermoigne. Beautiful part of the country.
That sounds like a really great place to check out. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers, Chris
A nice varied selection there, the mixed fruit ones are a relatively new thing very popular these days especially with the young'uns. Scrumpy or rough cider is well worth trying if you see it. Traditionally it's made with just apples and water with nothing added so the type of apple used is the main influence on the final flavour. The west country particularly Somerset and Devon are well known for producing it. It can be very strong and usually not carbonated.
Thanks for the comment. We are going to keep our eyes out for scrumpy or rough cider. Something I would like to try. Cheers, Chris
Another tip. If you have gout, and cant drink beer, try cider. Not perry though. My husband found that.
Thanks for the tip. Hopefully we don't need it, but better to have it and not need it. Cheers, Chris
I was shocked to find out cider isn’t always alcoholic in America
Not always, similar to Root Beer. Had to do with prohibition. Cheers, Chris
Draught (pump) traditional Rattler is a lovely drop.
Lovely, we will keep an eye out for it. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
You should look up Cider festivals. You'll be able to taste the proper stuff.
We have been seeing lots of festival signs, we will keep an eye out for a cider one. Cheers, Chris
The 2nd cider should be consumed with cheese, this will enhance the flavour of both the cheese and the cider. If you don't drink, you can get the same effect by eating a Granny Smiths' apple and a ripe cheddar alternating between each. For Whiskies I recommend Penderyn a Welsh Whiskey (yes the spelling is correct for Whiskies distilled outside of Scotland) which is more like an American Whiskey. Note the Scottish and Irish products are good also.
I hadn't heard of the pairing ciders specifically with cheese before, but it does sound interesting. For the Whiskey side, I think that is a fine recommendation, maybe we will compare that one. Thanks. Cheers, Chris
Great vid ,worked well .. maybe you should do the same and get a bunch of British Indian takeaway Currys that you have not tried before ,that could be great content if you start with a chicken tikka masala, then some others and end up with a chicken phaal, 😂
That would be something we might consider. We have had some, but not as much as there are options out there. Cheers, Chris
Congratulation's on 5000+ subs!!! I'm not a cider drinker, but cider's ok. Well done for doing this. @Jess - Cider is not your thing, move on to wine....Sauvignon blanc. I can give recommendations if you want
She does enjoy her wine, her favorite is Moscato. Thanks for the continued support. Cheers, Chris
Used to drink Scrumpy rough in Devon during the early 70's. 5p/pint. Very "chewy".
We will have to see if we can find Scrumpy. Thank you friend. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
Thatchers Gold is my No1 choice for a standard English cider. If you want flavoured fruit cider, then it's New Zealand's Old Mout Cider....which can be had in several variations from most outlets.
Fantastic, thank you for your recommendation and insight, friend! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn No problem Jess. Needless to say, both the ciders I mentioned are also available in non-alcoholic varieties, if you have no desire to end up sliding under the table.....
Thatchers Gold....I place that in the same category as Strongbow...in the bin! These are like soft drinks for flavour.
I must admit I don't like sweet things, so the only cider I drink is Henney's dry, which is deliciously dry and apply. On whiskies. If you like peaty, Talisker, if you're not keen on peat, Jura, and my absolute favourite for the darkest booziest truffles, Old Pulteney 12yr old. Enjoy!
That sounds like a great recommendation. Cheers, Chris
Good to see that one of the ciders is named Anning, obviously named after Mary Anning who lived in Lyme Regis (the Jurassic coast where this cider is brewed). Mary was a fossil hunter and made many of the early discoveries of palaeontology in the first half of the 19th century. Born into poverty and remained poor all her life, little education. Being a woman at that time her discoveries were never recognised and even claimed by others (men) as their own. She was unable to join any learned scientific Society, as a woman. It is only in recent decades that her enormous contribution to the science has been recognised. Worth investigating her, there is a film about her life called Ammonite staring Kate Winslet, although like all these bios it departs from the truth a lot. She was deeply religious so don’t know how happy she would be having a cider named after her.
That is really cool hearing the history of something that we were able to enjoy. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Chris
Keep the camera rolling and let’s see you finish them 😂
That would have been good, lol. Cheers, Chris
Wot, no Thatcher's ciders from Zummerset? ;-)
For whiskys, Chris may like the very peaty Laphroaig, which really puts hairs on your chest, so Jess may be somewhat less enthusiastic....
I think she will like Irish whiskeys, which are usually triple distilled, and much smoother.
I like Tullamore Dew, but the more readily available Jamesons is similar
No Thatcher's, but not because we did not want it. Just not one that we picked up. Good recommendations on whiskey. We will look into those for the next one. Cheers, Chris
Cider pubs in the UK can sometimes have the atmoshpere of wild west frontier town saloon; most of the furniture is bolted to the floors …………! most of these bottled and canned ciders are not ‘real' cider as they are made with apple concentrate rather than pur apple juice. still delicious but if you want the real thing buy it from a farm, but rememebr to fish the dead rat out before you drink it!
Great point and advice. If we are able to find some straight from the farm we will indulge. Cheers, Chris
The best cider is homemade off the farms of Somerset. Its basically rocket fuel that tastes like apple juice but puts you into orbit very quickly! 😁🤣👍
You need to try Meed. You used to be able to buy it in little bottles marked up as Gold Label. Meed is made from honey and will knock your socks off!
Glenfiddich is a nice (worlds most awareded whiskey) single malt scotts whiskey. Can't go wrong with a wee dram of that.👍
I would concur with your thoughts on cider, it is hard to compete with homemade. We have tried mead, it is becoming more and more popular in the US. Cheers, Chris
traditionally cider was made with cider apples, which you would not want to eat..they are sour. I enjoyed plenty of scrumpy as a youngster.. half a pint.. powerful! No more scrumpy for me, as I live in Canada now, but we do have several cideries here in Nova Scotia.. we have a load of apple orchards here, and I can still get excellent cider. Don't bother with sweet cider.
It is interesting seeing the difference in ciders. I haven't tried any from Canada, but we have a few from the local orchards in Michigan. Cheers, Chris
Crones (don't pronouce the E) is pretty decent stuff. When at beer festivals in East Anglia and I fancy something other than beer, I can usually get a Crones rum cask from the cask.
Sounds like a good alternative. Rum cask sounds pretty interesting. Cheers, Chris
Woodmans cider is my favorite as its made in my county .
We will keep an eye out for that. Cheers, Chris
There's a company called Masters of Malt which has hundreds of samples of whiskeys including tasting sets. You can easily taste a wide variety for not much money
That sounds like something worth looking into. Cheers, Chris
If you want to see 'old' England look up out of town jack hargreaves full episodes, well old England is perhaps not correct, as the programmes went out in the 1970's early 1980's. I loved them as a kid and still find them fascinating as an archaeologist the old tools he has and demonstrates . He does some cider making.
We will have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers, Chris
British wine next 👍🥂👍
That sounds like a good one. Cheers, Chris
Hi guys, i've only ever tried SCRUMPY JACK from Cornwall, it's strong tasted . Happy 4th of July guys enjoy your day .
Thank you. Hope the Scrumpy Jack was good. Cheers, Chris
To get your taste "in" you need to drink about 1/2 pint of scrumpy cider, before starting the real drinking. Scrumpy cider, otherwise known as "Rough" tends to be acidic, strong, cloudy, possibly with bits in. Not polished and not fizzy, but interesting. Keep Reacting!
Sounds like the good stuff. Cheers, Chris
Yeovil market day, scrumpy aka cider, on draft ... nerve gas or 50/50 with Guinness 😅
That sounds like an interesting suggestion.... Cheers, Chris
Happy 4 th of July ❤
Thank you. We do appreciate it. Cheers, Chris
Hello , the Brothers cider also makes a toffee apple cider wich is too nice..
That sounds really good. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn no worries bro , honesty it's dangerous 😂🤣
Jess, we don't want y'all to be going back - you belong to us now. Happy Independence Day, is Lakenheath closed for business today? And will you be celebrating with a barbecue and fireworks?
Thank you. Most of the base was closed, yes. We had a nice barbecue and enjoyed some time with the family. 🤍Cheers. Jess x
Have a ‘Happy 4th July’ I hope the Sun is shining wherever you are today! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for that. It was a great holiday for our family. Cheers, Chris
Having drunk many gallons of cider over several decades, I can honestly say that I have never seen or even heard of any of those brands at all!
Interesting. We wanted to get a good variety. Thanks for commenting. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn I was surprised not to see Henry Westons, Aspall, Grays, Thatchers, Stowford Press, Bulmers etc.
Cider doesn’t seem strong but it creeps up on you and knocks yer bandy😂😂😂😂
Sure can if you are not careful. Cheers, Chris
It's true, if we pinch our noses whilst eating or drinking, the taste of the food reduces significantly.
Right! Love how our other senses help us to enjoy things differently. 🤍 Jess x
I was in St Ives a long time ago, Sat at the bar quietly enjoying a few pints of SCRUMPY thinking how pleasant a drink it was . After 3 pints I decide on a toilet break but I had no legs , I couldnt stand up . Be very careful
Which St Ives? The larger one near Cambridge has half a dozen cideries in the vicinity.
@@johnp8131 St Ives Cornwall
Sounds like a good recommendation and warning. Cheers, Chris
Whisky recommendation - Auchentoshan
Wonderful, thank you, friend, on the recommendation! Cheers 🤍 Jess x
I recommend Scottish Beithir fire Beer, I'd watch you try a couple of cans each. Only joking don't do that, it's 75% ABV and costs £45 a can.
Yea, that would be something worth trying....maybe once. Cheers, Chris
we do the best whiskies in the world especially scotch and irish whisky
Both countries produce some great spirits. Cheers, Chris
Ice in cider! Sorry ,chilled I agree is okay but don’t add water. West country Rattlers is bottled and from barrels. Pay a visit.
We wanted to do as the company recommended. Cheers, Chris
You need to do a whisky video, the stronger the better.
Any recommendations? American vs. UK or just from the UK? Cheers, Chris
theres a lot rattlers flavores its on draft most pubs here uk
thatchers is good to strongbow to
We have seen them a quite a few. Cheers, Chris
The American viewers might not understand that these are what are called HARD cider in the US, alcoholic cider.
I understand that cider in the US is what we just call Apple Juice.
There is a difference with cider and hard cider, but American's understand the difference. Cheers, Chris
Dry ciders are not my favourite, they tend to be a little sharper, the fruity ciders are absolutely delicious though. Perfect for a hot summer’s day.
I totally agree that drinking beers or ciders that are not carbonated tends to give a flat or stale taste. It's like drinking a Coca Cola without the fizz. Yuk!
There is an pallet for all, we tend to like it carbonated generally speaking. Cheers, Chris
I’ve been wondering if either of your kids is over 18. If so do you allow them to consume alcohol whilst in the UK?
Our son is, we allow him if he wants to because it is legal here. Cheers, Chris
Thanks for the response. Love watching your channel
@@stevenwallwork4671 we try our best to respond to everyone. We really appreciate your support! 🤍 Jess x
I don't think you have chosen a good selection here and it's impossible to compare your choices with each other because they are a range of different fruits. Perhaps your judgement is coloured by what the American market calls cider, which is actually just apple juice. I think tasting with sipping a 'teaspoon' at a time is a good way to get the feel of the drink, you need to get a proper mouthful. I seem to just be nit-picking but I'm not, it's just a few things that spring to mind to avoid you making a wrong impression of our cider. You are doing a good job there and speaking as you see it - well done.
Thanks for the honest feedback. We are not professionals but do like to give the best chance to the drink. We wanted to get a good variety to see different types. Cheers, Chris
I find it hard to comment as I have never seen or heard any of the ciders you have tried today. They look like the type of drinks made to entice children? Walk down to the pub, have a couple of pints on tap and get a taxi to take you home.
We will check out the local pub and see what they have to offer. Cheers, Chris
you really need to drink at least 2-10 pints of each to get the true experience 😂🎉
That sounds like an experience! Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn harry,, the clue is above
@@DaydreamersBarn no it's just normal,, the point is the alcohol effects ,, try a search on ,, Dwile flonking,, now thats something unreal!!

Who will end up a bit tipsy at the end of this...?
Well, in the making for this video, none of us. We'll not that I remember. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
That bottled cider is rats piss, you need to get down to Bristol or Somerset to get proper cider and can go around the farms
That sounds like a good trip. Any suggestions? Cheers, Chris
Sorry to say this Chris but is the lack of bubbles due to the cider being poured to early and someone talking a lot trying to put it off ( actually makes " the home of the brave " a tad weaker ) .
Try pear cider next time it may suit the pallet better !!!
Very interesting comment. 🤦🏼♀️ Sorry to inform you, but it was a still cider "bless your heart".... 🤍 Jess
Is it whisky or whiskey? Not overly keen on English whisky, Scotch better, Irish best. Bushmills is the oldest, from Northern Ireland. If it is spelt whiskey its from Ireland. Much prefer Jamiesons, Irish. But also like Bushmills, black bush is their premium. Drink with water, not mixers. Don't bother with ice.
We side with Ireland regarding the spelling. All of those sound like some good recommendations. Maybe we can look at all the different countries in the UK and one from America. Neat is the way I prefer it. Cheers, Chris
best cider is bidedden cider from faversham in kent uk 🎉😊
We will keep any eye out. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn that's okay, Stuart 🎉
Ps you have to literally goto faversham
@harrymarshall cool will definitely look into that friend! Around 2 hours from us, that's not too bad. 🤍 Jess x
@@DaydreamersBarn it's made in bidedden winery about half way south of faversham and the South coast if that's any help it's unbelievable plus they also make one that's been aged in oak barrels previously used for sherry and single malt whisky 🥃 if you have to,, they supply the local shops in plastic bottles for some strange reason and also unfortunately don't sell to anyone in casks ,, don't forget to visit hever castle while yr there 🤗🍏🏰
What do you think of the law in the UK that allows 18 year old's to drink alcohol ?
Personally, I think it is not a bad idea. Thinking specifically when I was a young Airman, I could serve in a combat zone, but when I returned to America, I was unable to order a beer. So I am for it being adopted in America! Cheers, Chris
If you want to listen to a fun song check out Drink up thy Zider by Adge Cutler and the Wurzels 😂 its on CZcams

completely wrong to serve in Charente glasses 😂🎉
It was all we had to get the same impression on all the ciders. Cheers, Chris
@@DaydreamersBarn fair doos,, Cheers Stuart 🎉
Great video. I had a vision of the two you, after the vid finished, pouring all the remaining cider into a jug and finishing it off. 😄
Here's a great (cider)video I came across, by chance, month ago:

That would have been a good idea, lol. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Chris
today is thursday the 4th of july in britain there is a general election
It was a big day for both countries. Cheers, Chris
Where's the scrumpy.
Drank it in Wales, lol. Cheers, Chris
Henry Weston's vintage, Aspall's & Thatchers gold all better than this lot 👌
Maybe next go round. Cheers, Chris
I wouldn't give that sugary muck to my dog, I thought it was going to be proper cider.
When we find proper cider, we will try that as well. Cheers, Chris
If you do whisky please don't put any ice in it.... Heresy
Neat is the way to go. Cheers, Chris
You said that “nothing is going to waste, you will finish them off later….”
My personal word of advice….
On no account should you think it’s a “really good idea…” to mix alllll those different ciders together, pouring them into a pitcher and make it one big multipurpose cidery drink ….
I can confirm that this might have happened when I was at one of those “if the label says it’s alcohol, we are drinking it…” teenage parties that I might have attended 100 years ago when my sense of taste, decency and common sense was no way near the “maturing markers” - and it might have been thought to be a “right laugh” to combine all those variants of different ciders into what at first sight might look like a plastic dustbin but was in fact, an essential part of the party host’s father’s “home brew beer kit”…and yes, funnily enough, all it was good for after the “cider experiment” was just to be “a plastic dustbin” 😲🫤 *oh dear….😳😵💫😂*
But back to the cider combining exercise - just don’t even think about it…. Because whilst at the time it was ‘enjoyable’, the end result is not conducive to being a “well that was nice, that was good fun” experience….it is more likely for those that have taken part in it, for them to have the next day being spent non compos mentis, in their bed in a very dark room, with a headache from hell that no amount of Resolve or paracetamol would ease, a large bowl on the floor and a Mother coming into the bedroom every 10 minutes, to repeatedly moan at them, tell them they were were being stupid, that they will tell their Father, ask if they did anything rude or embarrassing and oh, if they “make a mess, they will be sorting it out….”
As I said it “might” have happened to me - or one of my friends - I don’t know I can’t remember! 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an interesting and dangerous game to play. I like the thought process though. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Chris
Real cider has no fizz,no ice,no fruit, should be servedat room temperature.and have a apv of at least 8%.anything else is a best thrown down the sink
We will keep our eyes out for something like that.
Cider in a can is abominable.
We had all ours in bottles. Cheers, Chris
im not a cider drinker as i find it a bit too acidic, but this is a decent video.
Well, we definitely understand. We're still glad you are the video. We love sharing our fun. Cheers 🤍 Jess x
