That top one could work though. Can you detach the tube from it? What for? That's how you drink from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main downside of those bladders is that your body does a good job of warming up its contents as you carry it around on your back all day.

I know...but I prefer having a pint glass in my hand when I'm drinking cider. I know that probably makes no sense.

betharm Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 I was wanting a stash of Old Rosie but settled for Westons Wyld Wood. Not seen it before, just on ASDA's bottom shelf. This stuff is 6% and comes in a 3L box. Dangerous but giving it a little try now.. just a small glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay89 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bugger, wonder if it’s too late now! How long did people wait for Lilley’s order to come? And does it come with Royal Mail or courier? I totally forgot to order some, gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried before, hoping it's yummy. Also another vote for the Friel's cider in small cans you can buy in Tesco. Absolutely delicious and very strong. Skoo, what is the Friels cider like? Sweet, dry? I am after a cider and that is a good price so might grab 36 cans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am after a cider and that is a good price so might grab 36 cans! I'd say it's slap bang in the middle. Very drinkable warm. Not too sweet, and has a slight earthy taste which I always like in cider. It's not as earthy as say an organic crafty cider, but for something easily picked up in a supermarket I'd give it a go. I plan to stock up on a few tins. I also find the smaller can size very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I've procured some of this gear for the festival. http://wilkinscider.com/ Not too far from the fest if people fancy swinging by on the way.

Rufus Gwertigan Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I can't believe I am asking this but I have fallen on hard times for a spell. What are the panels thoughts on the Taurus from Aldi. I am looking for something very cheap and cheerful to last me until I get paid on Friday.

A mate always drinks it at festivals, i'm sure he'll have a bag full at Glasto. No idea if it's any good though, but surely can't be that bad if he's always drinking it.

If youre on a budget its absolutely fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recommend Woodgate from Liddl, like Thatcher's but a little less sweet, much better than Taurus and cheap as chips ?

I've been drinking some Cornish Orchards stuff and Brothers recently. I can see myself going the Brothers bar a few times this festival!
