Subject: RE: Truly amazing Celtic cider - enjoy!
I agree with most of above: the proper temperature for full appreciation of the taste of cider is ROOM temperature, so no Bl##dy ice and no bl##dy fridges either. I am seething at the pubs that have removed all forms of draught cider in favour of Magner's, and one has recently replaced draught Blackthorn (not ideal but better than some) with Strongbow (even less so!)
Up here en Ecosse, you can buy Weston's and Thatcher's in bottles in thr supermarket, but can't get anything like it in the pubs. I've found one pub in Leith that does Addlestone's cloudy cider on draught, but not a patch on the Thatcher's dry from the big drums.
The beer drinkers usually get a big choice of beers, so why not the cider-heads?
