The Independent newspaper recently rounded up 10 ten best ciders – they’ve chosen some great real ciders there..

My favourites

Lyme Bay’s ‘Jack Ratt’ from Dorset, and new kid on the block Sandford Orchards ‘Devon scrumpy’ which i had the pleasure of serving to discrening cider drinkers at a recent cider festival.

Compare and contrast

Compare it with their top ten ciders in 2008. Glad to say most of the cider’s are still widely available.

If anything the choice and quality of ciders has improved things in quite a short period of time, due to consumers demand and interest.

Try them out for yourself!

All of these you will find at the Great British (beer and) cider festival in Earls Court, London this August.
