Barbourne cider... Ignore the cherry Bakewell nonsense, the oak cask is standout (and I'm a long standing fan of Painted Lady Perry)
Made it to Rotherham for the winter GBBF on a train full of Huddersfield fans going to Barnsley. @MashamCider on keg is standout so far although the bottled Thornborough is very tempting
My choice for cider/Perry of the festival - controversial? @BfdCamra @uddersorchard @MashamCider
Have to say @MashamCider are knocking it out of the park. Had some of their bottles at @foxgoosehebden a while ago and was impressed, now the BiB at @BfdCamra festival and they are excellent. So different in style to most ciders made in the north
Decent line up from @BfdCamra - nice to see the flavoured stuff has been kept to a minimum and some interesting bottles too

Good cider selection at Bradford CAMRA festival - worth dealing with the transport hassle to get here
At @dbf_beer for the first time in a few years, always a great community organised festival that rivals some is camra's best. They're queuing out to the main road for opening time which is a good thing.
Change my mind: festival cider bar managers who put on more or less the same selection every year are doing it wrong.
(By all means keep a core of favourites that sell well, but people like/expect a bit of variety)
Great work from @TheSportsmanHud (I'm resisting the urge to fill my card in one sitting)

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
There’s been a massive cock up and as a result, there’s a very slim chance, some of our Hawkstone CIDER bottles might, there’s no easy way of saying this, explode. If the cap has the code L3160, open it underwater, pour it away and get in touch for a refund. [email protected]
Really sorry about this but on the upside, the beer is fine and still delicious. As is the cider, in bottles that are unaffected. Which is almost all of them.

Now this is a cider festival list @uddersorchard (apologies for lack of ALT text but it includes Hecks, Ross, Artistraw, little Pomona, and the late Simon's Cider) – at Huddersfield, England
Pubs that advertise themselves as dog friendly should provide complimentary anti-histimines on request. Discuss. #LikeAFuckingKennels #atchoo
