It has been a while since my last cider review. Serendipitously one of my colleagues bought in a bottle of Rogers’ Hedgelayer Cyder for me to sample this week. It is seldom the case that I am known to turn down an opportunity to drink some cider, let this be n excepption to that …

My local co-op occasionally stocks an interesting cider. And this looked to be one. Despite the slightly wanky name. I am not sure when or why the word premium has crept into being an acceptable thing to say on a cider bottle. Whilst craft just seems to be something that you can prep …

For my birthday jaunt this year I popped over to Paris with nor. It was pretty cool staying in a little airbnb place up near the Arc de Triomphe. And of course I wanted to try a little of le cidre local. Which was a bottle of Le Cidre Artisanal Le Brun from the G20 supermarket up the …

So I’m at Barncamp 2013 hanging out with some of the coolest people in the UK to talk about information security, tech politics, eco-friendly computing and all that. There is vegan food and sunshine and beautiful count …

Like the Cidre Domaine de la Galotière that I reviewed the other day, this came from a craft market called Plein du Publique in Pijnackerplein in Rotterdam courtesy of Wouter Bijl of CiderCid …

Today Nor and I wandered up to a lovely little craft event called Plein du Publique in Pijnackerplein near her gaff in Rotterdam. One of the stalls was run by Wouter Bijl of CiderCide …
