When you think of Germany, you’re unlikely to think of Cider. But the Viezstrasse (literally ‘Cider-street’) offers a cider experience so unbelievably good you’ll wonder why you’d never heard of it.
Here are some facts about British cider and Germany:
- In Germany they have only still cider, called “Most” or “Apfelwein”, which is quite sour
- They don’t have the sparkling types, which is more sweet than sour – the ‘typical british cider’
- I believe, sparkling cider from england could become quite popular in germany, I’ve met many people who told me that they like it very much
- They have already a handful of internet shops and maybe half a dozen shops for british-food in Germany, some of them already selling British cider, but mostly stuff like Strongbow and Bulmers, and not real cider
