Good morning! A highly appropriate painting for #WatercolourWednesday as cidermakers the length and breadth of the (West of) England & Wales are itching to get screwing. Down their presses.

I forgot to say good morning today. This is the view that greeted me from my hotel. Not bad!
The day has been filled so far, half of it with technical seminars organised by the Hardanger Cidermakers group, then visiting a fruit farm on the other side of the fjord that also makes & sells own cider.

In a state with a 150-year history of apple growing, there’s inevitably going to be 150 years of hard cider.

For those of you that have only ever known me in my current ‘Sloth’ version, it may surprise you to know I was once quite active!
Cowhill was one of several cidermakers on the Vale of Berkley, sadly all gone as far as I can tell.

We went undercover as @kingragerdog.bsky.social's Apollo for Flatstick Pub's Brewers mini golf/duffleboard Tournament! We didn't take home the top prize of tap handle space in their pub, but we're thankful for the chance to spend time with our cidermaker & brewer friends in the industry ❤️

Yet another example of ‘Dry My Arse!’
This is described as med/dry, in fact I’d describe it as med/sweet, so sweet that I won’t be finishing it.
So, I ask again, why are supermarkets and the cidermakers who supply them so scared of dry cider?
