Cider

Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Cider Voice.

I'm Adam Wells and I'm joined as usual by Justin Wells.

Hello.

I look forward to this event as soon as the previous one finishes.

As soon as the previous one finishes, I'm like...

I literally do not understand the people from Cider who love Cider and have not been to the festival.

Unless you have like a really good reason, like... kids who have started school but then some years the festival is before that happens so get good go yeah go on those skill issues

I really wanted to get a copy of it.

So it's the Royal Cider Cast.

So Oliver's Cider.

So it's been finished in that.

And it's a direct partnership with Hereford Cathedral.

Cider, the perfect accompaniment to those Norman cheeses, is where we turn to next.

Like other words for food in the English language, like pork, mutton, beef, and veal, it comes from the French, le cidre.

There was cider in England long before the Normans arrived, but the conquest brought new varieties and ways of cultivating apples to our shores, and new ways of making the drink.

James Crowden is an author who recently wrote a book on the history of cider called Cider Country.

The Normans were really Vikings who were North Men or Norsemen.

They were hit men who were rough and ready and very thirsty.

is

it cider, though? Because it's called Sippin' Cider.

Oh, it

might be

Yes, to the crowd that doesn't want it.

Okay.

And you have to sing Sip and Cider even though you don't know it.

Okay, perfect.

It's all up to the new person or people though.

Mo Apple Cider says, do the recent big contracts drive up the asking price on EP40? I felt getting him for Danielson a B-level prospect in a few seconds plus an accepted offer sheet to Fantilli or Cutter Goche was our only true way to avoid this retool stage we're about to enter.

Well, the logic is sound, however.

The Vancouver Canucks ownership is still there and they do not want to spend money.
