Hugh Jass II Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 The one mistake I make every year, and will almost certainly forget to avoid this year, is being tempted by novelty Brothers flavours... "Oooh, rhubarb and custard" I think... Followed by "arrrgh! It's awful!" 30 seconds later followed still by half an hour me glumly trying to force it down before giving up and getting something else...

squirrelarmy Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I’m definitely in team Thatchers. I do love a bit of Katy. If they make a canned version of it I’ll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) No, Brothers Festival Apple Cider is an existing product, that I enjoy. It is not the same as Malletts cider, which I tried in order to ensure their Glastonbury 2019 competition, (and all I won was this most t shirt) which I didn't enjoy. I had a couple of cartons of the Brothers stuff on the coach down, the last time I was at the festival in 2017. It looked more like a carton of juice than any kind of alcohol, so I know even a strict coach driver wouldn't notice. So yes, this is proper Brothers gorgeous sweet stuff. Edit: I say that. But what I had was their festival apple still cider.. You'd think it'd have the same basic taste thought right?

Back of the Pymild Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Nice. Now get Wrexham Lager as one of the official lagers as per Green Man and we're laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 ‘Festival Apple’? I hope this doesn’t affect the availability of the ‘Festival Strength’ pear in West Holts, a daily pint of which is an essential part of Glasto.
