I was pleased to be informed that short piece I wrote last month about Real Cider was awarded “Blogger of the week” at River Cottage. Probably as much as anything because it initiated a good discussion which is appended to the blog post linked below:
As a prize I’ve won free access to some online courses about mushrooms, game, pigs and fishing. River cottage do sell some ciders through their online shop but it’s not a very exciting selection. Eventually I’m sure there’ll be an online how to make cider membership course, unless perhaps we decide to make one first?
Ukcider is running a campaign to celebrate pubs up and down the country where they are proud to serve real cider. It’s taken a bit of a while to decide on the design for the real cider stickers and posters and to work out a way to get them printed without any central funding, but where there’s an enthusiastic community like ours there’s always a way.
A short run of prototype stickers have already been distributed to most of the real cider pubs in South Dorset thanks to Rose who reports a great reception wherever they are offered. The stickers themselves have been designed by Jez, and printed in small batches by Dick Dunn over in the USA and posted over to Rose here in the UK. Now there are just enough to send out a handful each to people who know they can definitely get them put up in doorways and windows of pubs that serve full juice real cider and perry.
The idea to get this up to the next stage is that the artwork is made available on the ukcider wiki so that anybody with a good quality printer can follow the instructions to make some more for local distribution. There are over 1,000 cider pubs recommended in our online cider pub guide but we want to concentrate on those that sell unique, local craft ciders. Much as we really do appreciate all those Wetherspoons pubs that sell Westons Old Rosie and Vintage cider, both excellent drinks, we are aiming at the outlets for smaller producers at first.
