So I discovered hard cider

[Fritzo]

I hope they don't make this stuff a wussy drink anytime soon because it's damn delicious. Someone brought me over a pack of Stella Artiois and Angry Orchard, and they're both what I call a "dangerous" drink- they taste so good you tend to guzzle 'em down.

I'm typing this in my underwear with a lampshade on my head.

Angry Orchard? Yuck. Try some real hard cider!

Hard cider is delicious. However, I thought it was already classified as a wussy drink? I'm confident enough to drink it occasionally, but was still under the impression it was still a wussy drink.

It is a wussy drink, but I will drink it anyway because it's fucking good.

Try some Woodchuck, or Crispin.

Try Woodchuck Amber. It's pretty awesome, its one of the few alcohol beverages that tastes decent to me. Waaaaay too much sugar in them, though.

Also people will probably give you crap for drinking cider because it's a wussy drink, but I stopped giving fucks long ago.

I'll add that to my shopping list. I can't do carbs that much, but every 7-9 days I squeeze a splurge day in there

Local cider bar: Scrumpy's, here in Fort Collins:

(I've never had a Stella Artois that wasn't skunky.)

I am envious.

And as far as I know stella only JUST released their own cider not long ago, I have not had a chance to try it yet, but will probably get around to it soon.

6 gallons of hard apple cider, and 6 gallons of apple-pear cider here, homemade.

edit: actually, it's around 8 gallons total now.

That's funny, we just got back from the store and were looking at ciders. My wife loves them. I spotted an Angry Orchards half case variety pack with 4 different ciders, and I thought it was the perfect camping accessory. I don't drink, she'd be blitzed

I'm still looking forward to the first time I can find Virtue Cider on tap or in bottle. It's from Greg Hall, former brewmaster at Goose Island, using Michigan apples. Only available in IL so far but should be in MI within a month or two.

If anybody sees it in IL, I'll pay you a decent tip to ship me a 6-pack...it'd be nice to be the first to share it with my friends.

Lots of people think it's a wussy drink already. Fuck em... Don't let other people decide what you're drinking

Should we be worried that between the time of your original post and the edit, 4 gallons of hard cider disappeared?

If you forgo a drink you enjoy because of peer pressure then you are a sheep, not a man.

 

[norseamd]

how is mead?

So... where's the scrumpy?

How can anywhere call itself Scrumpy's and then have Strongbow, Magners and some pissy raspberry crap on tap... absurd and insulting.

cider is pretty wussy and easy to drink but it does taste good, still way less wussy than other stuff because at least it's a traditional product, not sweet crap with vodka in it.
