Annoyingly Succinct (Autumn Stoscheck and Ezra Sherman from Eve's Cidery)

Join hosts Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman
through these turbulent times by checking in to the Covid-free
Neutral Cider Hotel!

The guys go through blending cider, buying houses and an off the
cuff discussion of apple varieties.

In the news, Gabe kicks off things with some bad news about this
year’s The Big Apple event in Herefordshire, whilst discussing
his pie selection and fingering process. Martyn then humbly
brings up his own writing for Graftwood as “news,” before delving
into the journalistic mecca that is Bridport & Lyme Regis
News for some cider-sciencetory! Finally, there’s a deep
discussion on the etymology of the word “cheers”, featuring the
worst impression of a gay icon from a half-cut Martyn.

This week’s interview is the boy’s first trip out of the UK!
Connecting with a wonderful duo in their home all the way in the
Finger Lakes region of New York in the US, the Neutral Cider
Hotel is proud to host Autumn Stoscheck and Ezra Sherman of Eve’s
Cidery. An orchard-based cidery with a focus on organic farming
and minimal intervention, their drinks are always stunning and
the boys dive into deep conversation straight away. Moving
through every subject in fine cider, from terroir and sense of
place, self-taught banjo players, the difficulties of innovation
and child labour in the name of art.

The guys then sample Eve’s Cidery’s DeRidder after the
conversation, and what a tasting it is. A 750ml wonder, a Pet Nat
style cider made with stolen apples (scrumpy to the English!),
hear the boys honest reaction and try to keep up with their pace.
Drinking game this week, try and finish the bottle as quick as
Martyn for a wild 5 minute ride! 

Finally, they go through the listener’s questions, featuring a
new generation of drinkers, craft-
