In the news, Grant kicks off things with a deep dive into excess apples and the pandemic’s effect on fruit growers, before Gabe brings in the launch of a $500,000 US study into the language of cider (or cyder)! And finally, Grant is hosting a cider music evening as part of the Salford Virtual Beer Festival happening on the 14th November 2020. Hosted by The Lady Sybil, featuring some wonderful cyders to drink with a live sync up.

This week’s interview is with the legend himself; Tom Oliver of Herefordshire. One of the greatest cider makers of all time, and often cited as an inspiration by the current crop of makers, the awards he’s won over the years speak for themselves! The guys discuss the individual apple and pear varieties, and how the selection comes together in the blend for the perfect drink. Breaking down the apples to their basic categories, Tom explains his process, what varieties he uses and where he sources them, including his cough on January the 2nd and his irritable bowels.

Gabe then goes head-to-head with Tom in a new segment called Pomme or Band?? Play along at home in a lonely drinking game, or listen to the bands after you’ve checked out of the hotel!

The guys then sample Sxollie’s Golden Delicious. A South African cider that packs all the character of the Golden Delicious into a 330ml bottle, listen in to hear what the guys think of this little hustler!
