The Bimble Inn definitely had Burrow Hill on Friday when we played there and again on Sunday when I walked up there to claim my 2nd free pint that I earned from having played there on the Friday.

All three were bloody lovely (and £4 a pint) Maceo's had Heck on tap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry, sweet or a mix of the two. We were such a fan we ordered 20l for our wedding you just call him up and he arranged to post it to London using Royal Mail. He didn’t even want advance payment just said to send him a cheque once it arrived. A mate of mine lives in Cheddar, I asked him to pick some of this stuff up for me, which he did and delivered it to Glasto for me. It's very nice but I don't think 5 days in my warm tent did it any favours, it seemed to turn rather quickly when I got it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that Morrison's stuff keep? Or will they still be selling it come June? Despite living in Kent it's really hard to find decent cider that isn't in tins or bottles on general sale 'round here. Sod crates. Give me a box or an engine oil bottle any day. Edit: I'm just about to head down to my local 'spoons for some chicken wings and chips and as always a good ole dependable Thatchers. They've got a cheek calling them "wings" though. Half of what you get are clearly thighs. Edited February 5, 2020 by MrZigster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I recently bought 20l of this stuff because it was cheaper than most other big boxes. You get what you pay for - avoid. I now have to drink 35 pints of something that's pretty tasteless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 4 x 3 litre pouches from them just before Easter. Medium selection - 1x Vintage, 1x Kingston Black, 1 x Glastonbury Gold and 1 x Perry. The Kingston, Gold and Perry were excellent but I wasn't as keen on the Vintage but it was perfectly drinkable. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmb1992 Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm tempted by the Burrow Hill cider but I've just ordered some lagers from the Brewdog site and thought I'd give some of their cider a go. Also the current wet stuff outside is making it feel less like cider weather for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Anyone who has ordered from Burrow Hill - how long does delivery take? Hoping to make a few mates very jealous on our Zoom catch up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I mean, it's possible, but unlikely I'd say. Everything is taking longer at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
