CIDER

For most people cider is redolent of hanging around on street corners when you are 14 and then throwing yetir ring up in your dad's new Mondeo. But cider deserves a second chance. It is Summer (kind of) after all. With more pubs introducing the CIOLidy variety of the apple—based booze. now is the time to horrify your males by drinking something With no head that looks like steroid-addicted weight lifter's urine.

We are not talking about your run of the mill draft ciders here. we are talking brews of acidic wickedness that leave you with a had head and a penchant for the albums of the Ozric Tentacles. Good cider is made from a mix of apples. raisins and raw meat. Cider is the king of the summer pints. Good day sunshine. farewell sanity (dress sense and friends).
