Laxative-Soaked Baton (Christine Walter from Bauman’s Cider)

This just in! Hot off the press, it's Gabe Cook, Martyn
Goodwin-Sharman, Grant Hutchison and Producer Scott, with the
current news, absolutely up-to-date.


Gabe starts off with literally nothing, before a miniature
railway saves the conversation. Martyn brings up Gabe’s historic
substack about a magical pear tree, taking the boys down fire
blight avenue, before cracking a bottle of something fitting.
Scott has had a quiet time in the States, but introduces the boys
to an up-and-coming indie artist, and Grant keeps things light
and cheery.


In the news, Martyn reflects on the end of Good Beer Hunting,
Gabe brings the dour news of Ermine Moth and its effect on this
year’s harvest for makers like Burrow Hill. 


Then, the guys speak with quite possibly the best cider maker in
the US right now, with her company winning award after award. In
the last 6 months, she has won Best Dry Tannic cider at both the
International Cider Awards and at GLINTCAP and also picked Best
in Show at North West Cider Cup. It’s Christine Walter of
Bauman’s Cider! The guys chat about everything, from trips to the
UK muling dirty British things, to the new Bauman’s tap room
through to meeting Tom Oliver for the first time and the
bloodlust of the American palate for local pineapples. Whilst
they talk, they crack Bauman’s wonderful single variety of
Kingston Black, but don’t take my word for it, for I am just AI
generated text.


Finally, wrapping things up is a quiz game from Grant, which
we’re sure isn’t a plug for his shop Aeble.


And with that, the hotel closes for another week, but fear not as
more episodes and guests are coming to the Neutral Cider
Hotel!
