Anyone tried this cider? http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=285779961

Any good?

Or should I stick with the boxes of Westons organic?

Cheers!

Invested in some of that aldi gin. Hopefully it's as good as the reviews

I'm quite a fan!

The Aldi dark rum is good too. Just wish they done them in 1L bottles too.

Aldi is great for booze. The Toro Loco red wine is lush

The best thing about rum is that it goes with pretty much anything that's already sweet. Coke, fruit juice, lemonade, ginger beer. I prefer spiced to dark but those Aldi prices are pretty tempting.

Ahaaaa! Thank you both, and thanks Sloseph for your review. Most helpful!

I do like Westons, but is a little potent and strong tasting, so something that's a bit more refreshing might do the trick!

Well Tree Shaker is potent but not strong tasting, so while refreshing it's also dangerous

it's a bit like a kitten with a switchblade, treat it with respect and you'll have a pleasant time but disrespect it and you'll find yourself on the floor crying as you try to find your trousers

My stack is building, got 42 cans of Strongbow, Stella, Fosters & Thatchers. The mixture is a result of house party left overs. I've also got 50cl of white rum to go in 3 litre bottles of knock off redbull of late night drinking.

Also got 75cl of rhubarb & custard vodka & 1ltr of lemon vodka but I think my missus has dibs on that. But I'm sure I'll have a go on it too.

In a move I may very well come to regret, I have ordered a bottle of absinthe for the big G.

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Tree shaker is a much nicer Cider too drink compared too Westons.

I find Westons a bit too much after a few pints.

Might use this as a pretext to buying more Killie pies (doubt you get them in England but they are amazing)

They had a Tutti Frutti a few years ago which was nice but it seems to have disappeared :-(

Tutti Frutti came about from just mixing the flavours together anyway apparently ....so you know ask at the bar (Not sure if they still will )

[alexwetherell]

Two litres of spirit, six litres of.cider be enough? Gonna buy the odd pint each day...

[Anderson19]

The Aldi gin is fine - shame they don't do a 1 litee version.

Ha. Good choice...till Monday after Glastonbury - when you're a Broken Sir Robin...

Does anyone know if they sell plum cider anywhere at Glasto?

Someone bought me a bottle a few years ago and it was lovely. It's sometimes called Plum Jerky or Plum Jerkum (according to the label on the bottle I drank). I haven't had it since, but I was thinking that maybe they sold it at Glasto somewhere...

oooh found this place last year as its on the market strip from Avalon on the way to the greenpeace field - we had the raspberry wine which was really nice

[ColdSideofthePillow]

A litre of vodka for me then buy mixers or bring some coke or whatever along if I have space.

I'm not a heavy drinker but still want to be able to wet my whistle when necessary.

Has anyone seen any brothers in cans for sale? Getting a bit desperate now!

I asked them on twitter and they said they'd be selling cans directly from the brewey again this year, if you know someone who can get there?!

Failing that, they do mail order

[lcb172]

For the last two year I have been looking for brothers toffee apple in cans but never seem to find them, even there online shop don't have them anymore, so I have come to terms with the fact I'm only taking a lot of rum instead, and buying brothers when I get there
