Description: (TLDR)
The first CAMRA Good Cider Guide in the same format as David Kitton's original guide with sections on producers and outlets at the time along with short articles on cider.
On the back of the book it says:
Cider is one of the simple pleasures of life, a simple drink that was made and enjoyed in Britain long before the Romans arrived.
Cider at it's best means taking the sweetest and finest apples, crushing them, fermenting the juice, maturing it...and then savouring the rich taste.
But cider at it's worst can be a standardised factory product, pastuerised, chilled, carbonated and given artificial colouring. It is expensive too as a result of multi-million pound advertising campaigns to promote it.
Real cider, like all the best things in life, has to be sought out. David Kitton has scoured the country in search of cider makers large and small and the inns and pubs where you can enjoy their products. He details every known cider maker with a nationwide list of outlets.
The Good Cider Guide is a journey of discovery and a treat for jaded taste buds. Good drinking !
