Me and my mate bought a box to take to Bearded Theory last year, a load got spilt because the tap fell out the container and we still had loads left at the end of the weekend. Harder fellas could probably do better 😉 Edited June 5, 2020 by Johnnyseven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to order from here later this week: https://www.heckscider.com/product-category/three-litre-pouch/ I emailed them and you can ask for the pouch selections to be mixed in the notes when placing an order. So I'm going to get a mix of dry+medium and no bastard perry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't keen on the Farmhouse medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing like the sickly sweet, indigestion inducing stuff they sell at a certain bar at the festival though. Apologies if i'm preaching to someone who knows their stuff but it's similar to the proper ciders Hecks sell but smoother with a more subtle flavour. Plus it's award winning!

If you keep it somewhere out of direct sunlight and cool, boxes of cider like that normally last a few months. Once opened the last at least a month or so in the above conditions.

Easy! 😂 Just keep it somewhere cool if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got there and half a pint in they decided they didn't like it. Needless to say, I was sick pretty much the whole way on the train back to Glasgow. 9 pints a week sounds much more reasonable 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
