In the news, Grant kicks off things with a deep dive into excess
apples and the pandemic’s effect on fruit growers, before Gabe
brings in the launch of a $500,000 US study into the language of

evening as part of the Salford Virtual Beer Festival happening on
the 14th November 2020. Hosted by The Lady Sybil, featuring some
wonderful cyders to drink with a live sync up.

This week’s interview is with the legend himself; Tom Oliver of
Herefordshire. One of the greatest cider makers of all time, and
often cited as an inspiration by the current crop of makers, the
awards he’s won over the years speak for themselves! The guys
discuss the individual apple and pear varieties, and how the
selection comes together in the blend for the perfect drink.
Breaking down the apples to their basic categories, Tom explains
his process, what varieties he uses and where he sources them,

bowels.

Gabe then goes head-to-head with Tom in a new segment called
Pomme or Band?? Play along at home in a lonely drinking game, or
listen to the bands after you’ve checked out of the hotel!
