The Apple Farm Craft Cider Festival

[Danny(00833827)]

Spotted this in the local rag, this is The Apple Farm (http://www.theapplefarm.com/) between Cahir and Clonmel in Tipperary - Con Traas' place where i believe ye organised apple juice from last year. It was on last year although I didn't attend so cant say if its worth traveling to or not but maybe Con will give us a bit more info on the website at some stage. I live nearby so will go this year (depending on family commitments - junior due to make an appearance end of Sept) - will keep ye posted if i hear anything more on the event.

There is a lot of craft cider making going on!

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I'm looking forward to it. I rarely get to try decent cider at festivals. I leave it till last usually and that's usually when I fell I've had enough beer which means I've had enough to drink.
My problem is I only like really dry cider. The sweeter it is, the less I like it.
