I’ve been drinking some amazing hard ciders lately. You shitheads have any recommendations?





And don’t say Angry Orchard with a shot of Fireball, @Pitchfork51!

    Their Lemon Basil cider is amazing, and getting broader distribution now. It sounds kinda gross, but it works.

    Ain't no laws when you're drinking White Claws. The Throbber is a Black Cherry guy. And it doesn't make his ass fat.

    Don't know anything about cider except the Angry Orchard shit gave me a helluva headache one time.

    I'm glad you found some winners in your box o' NWJD booze.
    Fair warning: Good cider is often quite expensive. Cider *is* wine, and we're not using Welches to make good wine so we're not using TreeTop to make good cider.

    https://www.snowdriftcider.com/ is in my opinion the best in WA.

    Of Tim's stuff, Cliffbreaks is closest to the "plain" cider I sent you. His Red is very similar to mine, and along with the (excessively) oaked Cornice those 3 are the ones usually easiest to find in PNW.

    I'm a big fan of Sea Cider up in Victoria, but I don't know what Canada's travel restrictions have done to availability lately.

    We have been fortunate to get to work with some apple varieties only a couple generations removed from their native ancestors in the hills of Kazakhstan.

    I don't take it up the ass, so no.

    I did drink a White Claw with my mom once while eatingMexi food. It was hilarious.

    If I didn’t feel slightly guilty for periodically hooking up with your wife, I’d put your nuts in an apple press for sullying this thread with a picture of that swill!
    @Pitchfork51 HELP!

    Sweet! Thanks for the list NWJD. (And again for the FREE PUB BOOZE. It was yummy.)

    My @Sources have identified where I can pick up some Snow Drifter so I’ll give that a try.
