A decent cider at last

[ghandi]

Great news on the Thatchers, How many percent was the Gaymers piss? What do we reckon on price, £4.20?

Cheddar Valley is the elixir of life.

I presume this doesn't affect the Cider Bus or Brothers Bar?

[scaryclaireyfairy]

so we're getting very nice cider right next to the very nice food? i'm in!

[geoffboycott]

Excellent news, Traditional for me please. Shame can't have some Heck's cider/perry too, that is pure Zummerzet nectar.

Have to disagree partly ref real ale, Glastonbury is the only festival I've been to which has served a good pint of real ale, especially in the tent by Acoustic. Good local, South West brews too.

Decent news especially I might have less cans to bring this year as I am coming by coach, as long as Cider Bus and Brothers Bar remains!!

Hopefully they will see having something decent at the main bars increases revenue and the larger/beer contract gets changed to!

[tumbles]

Cheddar Valley is going to be an experience for those not tried it. Hopefully selling bottles of Katy too - lovely stuff and completely lethal at 7.2%

Very pleased about this

As the other poster said, I hope Cider Bus, Brothers Bar etc. aren't compromised in any way

[Dr Glasto]

You're from Portsmouth right? Get yourself down the Hole in the Wall in Castle Road and sample the Cheddar Valley! If not, they also have an excellent selection of real ales. Win win.

Hooray for Cheddar Valley!! I've lost days to that stuff (beware!) but it's bloomin marvellous

First tried it in the Hole in the Wall in Pompey - amazing pub! Mmmm suet puddings.....

[LondonTom]

well lager will not be affected as the current lager contract is not up until 2016 - after that it will all be up to grabs so who knows what we will get for 2018

[A Guy Called Matt]

I think we we jumped the gun on calling you 'Good Matt'

[Yesiamaduck]

Yeah I was sort of meaning that, it will be intresting to see how this goes then. (Ofc the sales might be worse, as a lot of people drink/used to the mainstream fizzy ciders anyway.)

[Zoo Music Girl]

Did someone say 'Craft Cider Bar'? Holy fuck. Glastonbury just got EVEN better.

[Mr Splodge]

A very happy chappie

[davefrompompey]

Ah unlucky. I'll have a pint in your honour next time I grace that place with my presence.

Always wondered... Who's Dean, and what did he do that's so good he gets a forest named after him?

Been to many beer festivals and agree most of the time it is nothing like a decent real ale pub which thankfully we have where I now live, The Forest of Dean..................... So Pompey pubs are out now apart from match days when I pop down.

The wife drinks cider though so I redeem a good Matt point there I hope

[davefrompompey]

Epic quotation fail.

Great news. A pint of gold is my go to drink and I take cans of the stuff for the festival so I'm made up with this.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Lets be honest here, the term 'Craft Cider Bar' is very much praying on the hype train, these ciders have been available for years as traditional ciders but much like Ales calling themselves Craft Beers they'll be able to charge a premium and attract the toffs while us people who liked real ale and cider all along will be penalized with a £1 premium on top of the £4.20 we'd expect to pay.

[Yesiamaduck]

Well that pissed on my picnic...

More cider variety can only be A Good Thing to someone who regards all lager, ale and beer variants to be devil piss.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Yeah i agree and the ciders they plan to stock there are great ciders (strong too) but dont expect any exotic flavors.
