The Cure For COVID-19 (Pete Brown, Ross on Wye's Thorn Perry Tasting)

Join hosts Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman
on their tropical island of all things cider!

The guys discuss Frightened Rabbit as an answer on a game show,
TV appearances and unflattering celebrity comparisons (It's Ed
Sheeran!) before delving into the news.

Grant kicks off things with a return of Roger Wilkins, who has
found the cure to covid! After the guys restored his honour in a
previous episode, the now scientist has proclaimed his
vitamin-heavy drink is the answer to the world’s problems. Gabe
then takes the guys through the upcoming Cidercon, the world’s
biggest cider gathering, which is now open for
registration.

This week’s interview is with a man who’s not just in the know
with cider, he’s actually written the book on it. We’re happy to
welcome three time Beer Writer of the Year winner, Pete Brown!
Highly acclaimed beer and cider writer, Pete’s got a huge library
of stories and an equal breadth of published books to match. From
Craft: An Argument to The Apple Orchard, Pete takes the guys
through the cider regions who think they invented it, cider top
trumps with Tom Oliver, the problem with ‘craft’ in cider and
wanky writing. We cannot confirm or deny if he had a masturbate
after the recording!

The featured cider this week is Ross on Wye’s Thorn Perry. Gabe’s
favourite variety of pear, it’s a big, bold and bright perry with
some very intense character. The Horse of Knowledge makes a
return to discuss the Pet Nat process as the guys take their time
