Over the next two weeks we'll be posting up the nine sponsored real ales or real ciders which will appear at the LAN for your enjoyment at a scrumptious £1.50 per pint.  This is the seventh post in the series.

This is the second of our sponsored ciders.

REAL CIDER #7


Hazy Rays by Hogan's

Sponsored by: Gorion
Thank you Gorion!

Hogan's is not quite a one-man band, but it still a very small artisan producer of individually-crafted ciders made only from locally grown apples.  Cider enthusiast, Allen Hogan, is based in the Stratford-upon-Avon area and started making cider in 1985 and still produces the cider to the same style as the very first batch.  Hazy Rays is unfiltered, unfined, gluten-free and vegan-friendly.  At a comfortable 4.0% ABV, it's also as close to a session cider as you'll ever find!

Hogan's has been winning awards for its medium-sweet ciders since 2011, most recently the Gold Medal at the Great Lakes International Cider & Perry Competition.   Hazy Rays is a deliciously light, fruity and moreish fresh-pressed hazy cider. This best seller carries an abundant appley aroma to the nose, with more than a hint of citrus and berry delicately balanced against the apple sweetness on the palate.

Excuse the thread necromancy, but during this lockdown one does as one must.   So I did as one must and ordered some Hazy Rays from the Hogans Cider website.  It got delivered in 2 days and Dex and I have already given it a good hammering :cheers:

Totally agree #supoprtlocal all the way.

Shamelessly promoting Uiltje Breewing in Haarlem, they do mail order and even subscritions. They don't do Cider (well not often, once in a year) but their IPA, IIPAs, Wit and Wiesen, Stouts, the whole 9 yrds. Amazing beer.
