Y’all might have seen that I’m away with work at the moment, and as I’m at a loose end this eve I went for a wander with this thread in mind, popped into a couple of boozers, pretty standard fare really, and nothing to speak of cider wise. On the way back to the hotel I nipped into sainsbos and found this one that’s new on me

Very drinkable indeed, though a little too fizzy really. That said, I’ve quaffed couple of bottles this eve….
Then, as I’m walking through the hotel bar, arriving back from my wanderings I see, nestled in the back corner of the fridge, three bottles with a label that I haven’t seen for getting on for 6 long years. It’s a drink that was by far and away the best thing I drank at uni (I drank a LOT) but since leaving uni and returning north, I’ve never seen it again in pubs or supermarkets. To be honest I thought they’d stopped producing it.
Ladies and gentlemen of stw I give you:
Henry Weston’s Medium Sweet Oak Aged Herefordshire Cider
Dear diary. Jackpot! by tom.howard.562, on Flickr
Say what you like about it, this is without doubt, my favourite alcoholic drink. Possibly favourite drink full stop.
Not that I don’t appreciate dirty great flagons of cloudy flat paint stripper with bits in, it’s just this you can drink all day every day (would if I could…) and it won’t kill you quite as quick at the latter!
Anyway, must dash, those remaining two bottle need drinking!
