Neutral Cider Ho Ho Hotel (Martin Berkeley from Pilton, Wilding's Nempnett Thrubwell Tasting)

Join hosts Gabe Cook, Sir Crenellated Urolith the 3rd and Martyn
Goodwin-Sharman as they meet See-anta himself in this Christmas
edition of the Neutral Cider Hotel!


Gabe has to apologise to “Scottish culture,” and Grant and Martyn
both treated themselves to cider from The Cat in the Glass. Then,
a lovely snippet turns up in conversation about photography,
cider and forgetfulness.


In the news, Grant talks about Cloudwater’s new Wayfinder;
previous show guest, Helen Anne Smith of Burum Collective! It’s a
wonderful program aimed at making positive change to the industry
by promoting and raising voices outside of the usual
bubble.

Our interview is with a legend in the scene; Martin Berkeley of
Pilton Cider. The guys discuss his decade in the industry, the
intrigue of keeving, breaking from the corporate image, fruit
cider, The Bristol Cider Salon and everything in between. 


For the tasting, the boys stay in Somerset, with a new product
from Wilding Cider. Nempnett Thrubwell; a single orchard
selection, ancestral method sparkling cider, this one is for
celebrations and should be in the fridge this New Year's Eve!
Check out Pellicle Mag’s great profile of Wilding here.


The guys list their Christmas Day ciders, including Little
Pomona, Olivers, Tinston Wines & Ciders, Halfpenny Green,
Pilton and more. 


For this week’s game, Gabe brin
