This is our local Cider Bar in Newton Abbot. Nothing under 6% as far as I recall and they pretty much only sell Ciders or homemade wines.

I wish I was, but I'm not a scrumpy fan. I always get excited seeing cider at a beer festival or what have you, but have come to the conclusion the cider I like is more of the French style, medium-sweet. Maybe if I invested some more time drinking it...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Other characteristics (which you may wish to take with a pinch of salt) include a liberal sprinkling of rats hairs and more than your daily dose of cyanide courtesy of the pips which contain concentrations of this compound.Last edited by Pip in a Poke; 19 January 2017, 09:36.Comment

I'm sure cider is full of bits of flora and fauna since if you pick wild fruit it's amazing how many bugs there are and bits of mould here and there. I doubt industrial brewing allows time to inspect each fruit so there'll be wasps, spiders, bird crap, etc... it's like when you forage blackberries for a pie you shouldn't look too closely before cooking You can wash and soak them but it doesn't get everything.
I doubt a cider press releases the cyanide in the pips (about which you are totally correct) and since cider isn't concentrated it's probably fine. If you blitzed the whole fruit rather than juicing/pressing and then decided to make applejack/scumble out of it I wonder what level you might reach though... there is at least one story of someone killing themself eating a cup-full of apple pips because they liked the taste.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
