Mcr Cider Club October 17th - The Cat In The Glass

making natural cider (no added sugar, water or sulphites- just apples). They hand pick their fruit from unsprayed, low intensity traditional standard orchards in the local area. This guarantees juice suitable for the attenuated fermentation technique they practice (not to mention being very beneficial to biodiversity and entirely aligned with their own permaculture principals). Located in the Welsh Marches, just outside the beautiful town of Hay-on-Wye, they enjoy access to some of the most beautiful orchards in the country. They are currently planting a 2.5 acre orchard just next to their cidery, which is gradually filling up with rare and interesting apple and perry pear varieties. Each tree has been grafted by themselves, making what will eventually be, a very special orchard. They are both committed environmentalists and apply this mindset to every aspect of cider making, from the creation of habitat in the orchard right down to the natural glue we invented to hand stick our recycled paper bottle labels! They also both play a leading role in the recent renaissance in modern artisanal cider, traditional cider presented in a modern way. Lydia is an active leading member of Cider Women. Both are active in their regional cider association, the largest in the UK, and were key organisers of the recent cider CraftCon.
