goldenfleece Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Where can I get a "real" cider from in the city centre?...looking for some 'hardcore' cider to plan a rather special "cider crawl" next week for some rather hardened old real cider drinkers visiting from Cornwall. They have a particular loathing of the Blackthorn and Strongbow mass produced stuff, and I dont blame them at all for that! Ideally a selection of 5 or more pubs/bars, and the more obscure name and cloudy appearance the better are my instructions!!!! Anyone found some 'hardcore' ciders in Sheffield?

Meaks Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Devonshire Cat usually has a couple, and some of the Wetherspoons normally have one on (Westons I think). They usually have Old Rosie and a perry on at the Gardeners Rest. The Kelham Island Tavern always has some - it had three on this weekend (one red, one green and one pale ) and the Fat Cat usually has one or two.

goldenfleece Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Excellant news....any more around the Devonshire Cat sort of area. Assume West street/Division Street caters for the STrongbow crowd and nothing more I would expect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazel Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 My Partner makes his own brew which he calls cider but it never sees an apple. He brews it to wine strength and it has a pretty hefty kick. It's cloudy to but mixed with orange juice it makesa good buck fizz. He brews it for just over £3 per, 5 gallon barrel,? which makes his dinking pretty cheap and he knows exactly what goes into it. Bit late for you to start though goldenfleese. hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I was in the Classic rock night at Cha Chas, over the weekend and I think I saw a special barrel of scrumpy style cider behind the bar. How's that for you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozafeen Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The Red Deer off West Street has Thatcher's cloudy cider on draught and The Nelson has Pheasant Plucker scrumpy which is on special offer at the mo. I'd recommend the Dev Cat too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Forget what I said about Cha Chas, I saw the scrumpy at the Nelson. Thanks Jozafeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenfleece Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 I think I will be drinking a LOT of cider shortly, thanks very much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Cha Chas has traditional cider connected to one of the handpumps. Lloyds No1 bar on Division Street and the Bankers Draft both have a choice of two Westons Ciders (look in the fridge for the box wih a tap in). Devonshire Cat has a couple of ciders although they are fairly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
