Hit Things With Sticks (James and Susanna Forbes from Little Pomona, Anxo Cider Tasting)

Welcome to the very first episode of the Neutral Cider Hotel podcast. Our hosts, Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman will be checking you in and unpacking all things cider!

If you are looking for a new drinking game, take a drink every time Gabe plugs his book. You might not make it until the end of the show.

After a quick intro to the boys, they’ll dive into the news where they cover the Discover Cider campaign, Grant talks about a new Swedish organic cider he recently tried called Brutes,  Martyn gives a quick review of a few ciders from his recent Pommelier Fine Cider Club delivery and Gabe talks about a new Danish cider he’s enjoying from Cold Hand Winery called Malus X Feminam.

The first appearance of the “Horse of Knowledge” happens in this episode. Add that to your drinking game with book plugs for a real fun time.

Our interview this week has James and Susanna Forbes of Little Pomona join the show, talking through their cider process, methods and experiments, their links to Herefordshire and the values of cider.

The guys then sample and give an in-depth, on-the-spot review of Cidre Blanc from Anxo, an urban cider maker based in Washington, DC in the US whose clean, dry ciders are now finally available in the UK.

They then wrap up the show with listener’s questions, sometimes, but not often about cider. If you want to ask the “experts” a question, follow us on Instagram or Twitter and send them there.
