I was brought up to drink cider, my grandfather made it (even though he was supposed to stop making it after the war....) and so it was my given drink. I first tasted beer (Devenish Brewery, beer was I think called 'Devenish'.. it later became known as 'JD') in the folk club in a pub called the Sunray, at Osmington, Dorset. It was a Tuesday evening in the summer and the cider was off.... Been hooked ever since!
