Tomato Knives and Badminton Nets (Jonny Hamilton from Pellicle Magazine, Bushel+Peck Tasting)

Join hosts Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman
as they stop reading the label, and zone back into the Neutral
Cider Hotel!


Gabe starts things off with some hotel research as well as some
quiet lusting for Hiddle Piddle, Grant goes through British
television hotels and Martyn threatens the boys with an axe.


Gabe steals the news from Producer Scott this week, as a dive
into alcohol advertising through Angry Orchard’s new
advertisement which considers the word "sweet" a swear-word! The
boys then dive into their memories of alcohol advertising
including these Red Rock Cider ads featuring Leslie Nielsen and
this Guinness ad, and the wilder side naturally comes up, as does
Grant’s infatuation with Bill Bailey in Strictly Come Dancing!


Our interview this week is with a top brewer, and co-creator of
Pellcile Mag, Jonny Hamilton. Quickly becoming a publication of
note in the food and drinks scene, Pellicle’s focus on cider with
the same level of care as beer and wine has made it one to watch
with each new article. Jonny’s first published piece, Where
You’re Meant to Be, is a personal dive into the beginnings of the
publication, through a lens of mental health and the effects of
life. Lots of personal, raw conversation here and Jonny’s honesty
shines through. The guys go through everything, from imposter
syndrome, reliving struggles, the beginnings of his cider
journey, lockdown and eggs benedict. It’s a thoughtful interview,
with only one obviously long-winded question from Gabe!


This week’s tasting sees the boys try a bottle of Bushel + Peck’s
Dabinett. Gabe praised them on the final episode of 202
