theciderviking Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 If all of the tension over the past couple of days has shown one thing…it’s just how desperately we all NEED to be in those hallowed fields, cider in hand. 🤩 I think 2 years of pent up frustrations have combined with the ridiculous excitement we’re all feeling, then throw in the individual challenges different people are facing and fighting to overcome which none of us will ever really understand because different things affect different people so very differently, and it really doesn’t take much for things to boil over. Life’s too bloody short, and everybody needs a bit of Glasto magic right about now. So here, have a virtual cup of Burrow Hill for now, and I’ll see you at the legendary Cider Bus for a pint of the real thing in just a few short weeks! 🍻 And yes, I am buying. 😉 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I've been trying quite a lot of ciders over the past few years and I reckon that Burrow Hill is one of the very best traditional scrumpys out there. Right up with Roger Wikins. I appreciate it's not for everyone, but beats the majority of the stuff you can buy hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Cider isn’t for everyone. I was drinking Burrow Hill at home the other year. Tastes better when you’re on the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider can give me a bit of a gag reflex and nowadays also absolutely appalling reflux, but if you power through the first pint it’s not bad. The hot cider from the bus on the Sunday night in 2007 was a lifesaver. Made watching the Who in the constant rain bearable. I will be bringing plenty of antacids this year 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CbmRules Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Slightly related - it says compostable on the cup, are there compost bins on the site? Also, yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Cider bus do actually do a nice hot apple juice for the non drinkers when there's a colder festival it can be quite nice in the evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I bought some cider bus cider last June for the festival weekend. That first sip actually brought me to tears. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 One of the biggest "I'm home" moments I'll get is asking the nice person serving behind the bar at the Ciderbus to double cup my hot n spicy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambooShanks Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 There's nothing quite like a cold cider on a scorching hot day. Sadly my teeth are that sensitive that if I have more than a couple of ciders, I'm left with hella sensitive teeth for the rest of the weekend. Still worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the opposite side of things, there's nothing better than sipping a pint of it once the sun has just set and you're at that point where you don't want to commit to jumper yet but the temperature has definitely dropped. Heaven. I'll probably shed a tear whilst doing so on the Weds evening of this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred quimby Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Not a cider drinker, but will be getting some apple juice from there. May have to try this hot apple juice @gigpusher mentions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I drank a lot of cider brandy at the bus on the Thursday night in 2005….had to be dragged back to my tent and put to bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I John Moncur. Proper farm cider if you can power through the first pint basically becomes fuckin gorgeous. Its a marathon not a sprint. Also, never ever try it after just brushing your teeth. You need a good festival cake hole / broken in taste buds to appreciate it. Several hours of baking in the sun eating food in bread envelopes and supping warm cans is nice preparation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
