I know this sounds snobbish, and I hate coming off that way especially about booze, but all the basic ciders you'd find at a grocery store are undrinkable shit (Wood Chuck, Angry Orchard, Redds, whatever).

If your cider doesn't come in a bottle that looks like it'd be for wine and doesn't list the types of apples used, it's shit. There are a few gimmicky exceptions like the hopped Wood Chuck.

Drank Woodchuck hard cider when I was a teenager. I think this was after 4 india pale ales of some sort, because I only had two and ended up pretty drunk.

Then I decided to drink a Samuel Adams, Summer Ale. Soon after I vomited repeatedly, wandered around outside, came home and passed out on the bathroom floor.

It was okay. Pleasantly sweet, but a bit too sweet. Haven't drank any since though.

Cider is best when it has multiple apple types in it, and is minimally sweet. The trouble we have in the US is that the apple industry is absolutely not geared towards this type of production, it's all about eating apples, and if they have extra, they throw them out.
http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_28218609/washington-farmers-are-dumping-unprofitable-apples?source=rss

It's sad. Those could have been the less sweet, more fibrous and complex-tasting varieties. We could be making the best cider in the world, but instead we're making partially fermented apple syrup. It's shit.

It's fucking shit.

Old Rosie is great for a draught cider you might actually find at a pub.

Pic. related is glorious though. As is Black Rat (the still, draught, version, not the fizzy shit they sell in cans & bottles).

Then of course you've got all of the cider-in-a-box's, made by an old guy in a barn somewhere, where the actual alcoholic content is dubious because they don't add sulfates and it just continues to ferment.

>what's the difference between cider and hard cider?

In America, "cider" is cloudy pressed apple juice. It is not fermented and therefore, not alcoholic. In order to differentiate the fermented & alcoholic stuff, the term is "hard cider".

In the UK "cider" is always alcoholic and the non-alcoholic stuff is just "apple juice"

That's like saying "how do you differentiate between a duck and a duck". They're the same thing. Even Burgerfats aren't stupid enough to use different words for "Orange juice" and "Orange juice with pulp", so fuck knows why they do it for Apple juice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 5 12:07:01 2015 No.6569907 >>6569903 Unprocessed, unpasteurized juice is still juice. Cider is fermented apple juice. Putting "apple" in front of "cider" implies you can make cider from other fruits, which is incorrect.

>Apple cider (also called sweet cider or soft cider) is the name used in the United States and parts of Canada for an unfiltered, unsweetened, non-alcoholic beverage made from apples, usually from specialized cider apples.

>used in the United States and parts of Canada

As we've proven, Amerifats don't know what "cider" means (even though the word is 4 times older than their entire country), so who cares? It's apple juice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 5 12:08:35 2015 No.6569916 >>6569914 Pear cider is pear cider. Perry is perry. Perry should be made from specific varieties of pear (Perry pears, oddly enough). Most commercial "Pear cider" is made from common commercial varieties, so isn't Perry.

Not him, but the problem is that the US isn't growing the sort of varieties you need to make a good dry cider. It takes decades of hard work to create a fruiting orchard of any reasonable size, so it's not like he can just start making cider tomorrow.

>I know this sounds snobbish, and I hate coming off that way especially about booze, but all the basic ciders you'd find at a grocery store are undrinkable shit (Wood Chuck, Angry Orchard, Redds, whatever).

100% agreed, anon. That said, I used to think that Angry Orchard was top tier until I started searching out higher quality ciders and ruined my blissful ignorance. Pic related is by far my favorite but is annoyingly difficult to find.

At least the increasing popularity of shitty grocery store ciders should pave the way for easier access to quality ciders. My local supermarket just started stocking single bottles from a regional brewer so hopefully they'll add some more in the future. Fuck knows they don't really need hundreds of brands of shit $10 a bottle wine.

Why don't you start arguing about why Europeans call a Moose an Elk? If youre Canadian and you need something to be upset about, look no further than gee... any of your hockey teams.

The american colloquialisms:
-Apple juice (pasteurized, homogenized)
-apple cider (unpasteurized, unfermented, unhomogenized)
-hard cider (fermented)
-applejack (fermented, distilled i.e. it is a spirit)

Ace has apple, perry, honey apple, dry apple, pumpkin, berry and pineapple ciders. The pineapple is my favorite. The perry tastes like a green jolly rancher, probably too sweet for most people. Ace is from callifornia.

I tried a drier apple cider that hasnt been mentioned yet last feek at a craft beer/wine bar. its been my favorite so far, so ill have to get the name.

so 'hard' cider simply refers to alcoholic beverage as opposed to non-alcoholic, 'normal' cider?

That's certainly what's happened here in the UK. It used to be the only cider you could get at a store was terrible max produced fizzy yellow cheap stuff, and you had to go a specialist or direct to the farm to get anything else.

These days I can pick up some decent bottled ciders like pic. related from ASDA (actual Walmart) even.

This one is pretty awesome from what I remembered.

Woodchuck is also pretty great.
Bulmers is normally the one I drink here in Norway, since its the only proper cider we got available at the local pub.
