I don’t get along with cider. I got absolutely wiped out on it one year at the Great British Beer Festival and have seldom tried it since.
One drink I do quite like is perry. A glass of a dry perry on a summer day is very pleasant, like drinking a glass of fine white wine.
Hint: don’t ever call perry “pear cider”. The drink’s vocal enthusiasts don’t like that at all!
Another drink undergoing a small revival thanks to enthusiasts is a drink far older than beer or cider: mead, made from honey.
I had a small bottle of Lindisfarne mead fairly recently, which must be the largest maker of the drink in Britain. I wasn’t fond of it.
I have noticed that Mark’s & Spencer has recently started to stock cans of something named “Hive Mind”, three different varieties of mead. I didn’t particularly like the standard mead but I tried the variety flavoured with elderflower yesterday. I thought it was quite pleasant.
