Boddington's. Went to Lidl today for the first time in a while, I think it's going to become my new offy.

Good beer, cheap beer, and my baby gets to use the can as a rattle thanks to the widget. Ace parent, or what?

If things get really desperate go for the Grafenwalder. It got me through my college years. Was 65p a can back then and after a few hours in the fridge it tasted not bad.

I however have some stellas in the fridge calling my name.

Nothing wrong with Heineken mate esp. straight from the bottle

Can anyone recommend a good cider that is available in Waitrose? Fancy something different tomorrow.

Ahleckz · 12 Aug 2011 at 23:30

Aspall's is very good.

There was a big cider thread a week or so again, have a peak in there. You'll have to get past all the purists though who say that only a certain type of cider is 'right'.

J1234 · 13 Aug 2011 at 00:01

Cheers, I will have a look

I'll probably pick up a few different ones to try.

Ahleckz · 13 Aug 2011 at 00:26

That really is the best thing to do. I'll have cider now and then and just grab a few different bottles from the shelf. I'm sure if it's in Waitrose then it can't be that bad... But I recommend Aspall's.

DirtyJester · 13 Aug 2011 at 00:29

If you have a M&S nearby I do recommend the Organic Cider they do in 500ml bottles.

Weston's, (for Marks & Spencer) Organic Cider (England)
Brewed by Hereford cider producer Weston's for M&S, this cider pours a bright, medium gold, with a thin white head that disippates rapidly. On teh nose it is quite sharp and tangy, with a sweaty note that suggests a touch of Brettanomyces (yeast) character. On the palate it is sweet and sharp, with plenty of vivid apple fruit, a nice tangy lemon acidity and reasonable body. An interesting and quite complex cider. 6.6% ABV, 50cl, £1.89, Marks & Spencer.

...though I'm not seeing it on the website now

J1234 · 13 Aug 2011 at 16:47

Cheers for the suggestions.

I ended up with some Henney's Dry Cider, Weston's 2010 Vintage and Aspalls Premier Cru. Shall try them tonight.
