Message Travlr beers 33850 º places 4573 º 09:16 Mon 5/16/2016 OK, first new cider duly collected, a dry cider from South Africa that’s not yet on Ratebeer
Message radagast83 beers 12427 º places 427 º 10:24 Mon 5/16/2016 Here’s a google doc, it can be customized further if you’d like: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E0lIxbv_dFLOm0e_QxZo-unKVkoIERQPayChC-pionc/edit?usp=sharing I have a Cyser from Orchid Cellars - Donnie and Gene have had it, naturally. I’ll hold onto it unless more of the group rate it between now and then. I hope that Millstone can make another rateable Pommeau.
Message MrChopin P beers 4304 º places 100 º 19:49 Thu 6/30/2016 Giving this a healthy bump/reminder For "other stuff".. whatever! Seems natural to throw in opposite styled stuff.. Darker malt, hoppy, well carbonated. Won’t be too difficult to find "opposites" to sweet cider!

Message Travlr beers 33850 º places 4573 º 03:17 Fri 7/1/2016 I’m ready any time. But I will almost certainly not be living in DC in December.

I have picked up some ciders for the tasting already and will update the spreadsheet shortly. I should also mention that I have a significant life event taking place in November, but will likely be able to peel away in December for this.

Message MrChopin P beers 4304 º places 100 º 15:43 Thu 7/28/2016 Another monthly bump.. Would like to do this before Gene’s gone. It’s looking like I’ll be in Montreal over Thanksgiving, meaning I’ll knock at the Ice Cider locations. Interest or advice please share..

Message Travlr beers 33850 º places 4573 º 15:46 Thu 7/28/2016 I am hoping to move to Charlotte NC by the end of August. Not sure if I can make the arrangements that quickly, so there’s a chance I’ll be here in September, not sure. We could always do one tasting now and you guys can do one in December. I have two cases of ciders accumulated now, the less I take with me the better.

Either a cider tasting or just a regular tasting? This is going to be a devastating loss to the DC RB scene....
