Just like last year we have some very kind people and businesses willing to sponsor some real ales or real ciders that will appear at the LAN for your enjoyment at a bargain £1.50 per pint. Some of these brews have been sampled by the now expert dMw GBBF drinking team, or have been sampled before and must make a come back.

REAL Cider #7


3 Peace Sweet by Hardings

Sponsored by: DMW Community

First of the Ciders for this years Lan and sponsored by our lovely community who again seem to think we need to drink more, which I hole heatedly agree with. Bring on the apple and fruity goodness so we can all share in the alcoholic haze. Cheers guys.... :cheers:

Harding is a Cambridgeshire cider maker and so is a relatively local drink for the Oliver Cromwell hotel. 3 Peace Sweet was created as a WW1 Centenary Edition and is 7.5% ABV. It was styled for those who prefer a sweeter cider following an exclusive tasting session at the Hog and Partridge in St Neots. This refreshing brew will appeal to those cider drinkers more accustomed to commercial cider (we know who you are, Magners lovers!). Described by the CAMRA judges as ‘Possessing and aroma of ripe dessert apples’ they commented that ‘it is a truly appley cider and has a flavour thats fresh and summery, with plenty of crisp bite.’ 3 Peace Sweet is Harding's biggest success to date and it surprised by taking the CAMRA National Champion Cider Gold award for 2016!

We had this sweet cider at the last autumn Lan XXX which also got lots of tasting from dMw's very own Ale Research Swilling Executive (ARSE) at the 2016 Great British Beer Festival and got a big thumbs up from us all. It also went down so well at the Lan XXX that it did not even survive a single evenings drinking so we thought it was best to get another barrel of it and enjoy again.... Don't hang around as this brew will run out fast.

Sweeeeet! Reserve me a half :D Nice to see cider that isn't only dry at the LAN. I think that is as a response to people asking for a sweet cider if I recall? Customer service!
Cheers, Bert

Considering the mad science proposed in the other thread, we'd have to watch this carefully when the barrel runs low, then buy the remainder, get the dry one hooked up, and start the alchemy for our medium cider as well :D
