Cider????????

We haven't reviewed for a while.... Graham has been away, traveling through Europe and i have been pursuing other projects (namely a very fresh baby who is not so fond of sleeping). So now seems a good time to bring in another reviewer.
Cider.... I have never really 'got' cider...... Having access to Strongbow and Mercury as the only Australian staples, i have not had the opportunity to taste any real quality. The growing trend towards cider drinking has led the market to import some good quality apple and pear cider from NZ, France, Ireland and England, and i am actually getting into it.
One man who is into it is Michael Swifte. Anyone involved in the West End underworld will know him as 'Swifty'. Author of the blog The Age of the Warlords Cook Book, Swifty is a big time cider drinker and has agreed to review a couple for us.
Look forward to seeing something soon.
I am back to the beers and will review something soon.........
