If you are wondering where your regular PricklyCider articles have gone, let me say life changes! We embarked on a new life journey, which shifted some of my priorities around. I am thinking of it as my cider sabbatical. I expect it to last a little longer but I have still been pursuing my passion of cider. I just have not been able to do the research that I was doing, which has curtailed my writing. That should be changing, though it might mean it is time for another book. Just to let you know that PricklyCider.com is still active. I still answer questions that I receive comments or email. I have even managed to share yeast samples with some of my friends in Europe. I have also found some awesome ciders during this time. So, this may be a short update but I thought I would try to start getting back into practice and share some of the great ciders I have found. Here are a few of the ciders that I have tried and you should seek out.
Mooma – A Spanish cider that is not as acidic as most. Very refreshing. It comes from the Catalonia region of Spain.
Exner Sidra – A very unique cider and an even more unique cider as it is Spanish. It is one of my favorites. It is spicy but all apple and no adjuncts. It is what yeast and apple selection can do to make unique ciders. Seek it out.
Kerné Cidre – A wonderful example of a traditional cider from Brittany, France.
Sheppy’s Redstreak – Sheppy’s is one of my favorite cideries in Somerset and this was my first time having a Redstreak single variety cider. It did not disappoint.
Rós – A cider from cider from Ireland. The rhubarb gives it a nice finish. You notice it but it is not overpowering. The carbonation was a pleasant surprise that created a refreshing drink.
Strangey’s Devon Cider – You have to have a friend to obtain this cyder as it is not commercially available. If it ever becomes available, find it!
Expect more from PricklyCider.com! I am still out there pursing my passion of cider and I continue to focus on exploring yeast and the impact on different apple varieties. As a show from my many years ago used to say, “the answer is out there”.
I hope your apple trees are producing and your cider mug never runs dry.
Do not forget all the great material already on PricklyCider.com, your source for all things cider.
