Now that it is almost fall, what is the god tier cider? imo woodchuck

angsty orchard

As for the big brands, I like Angry Orchard stone dry. But there are some awesome ciders from little cider makers everywhere.

So given apples be fucking expensive here (would be a lot cheaper to just buy the hard cider), how disappointed am I going to be if I make cider out of "non-alcoholic" cider instead of fresh apples?

Saves me a lot of work anyway.

Strongbow is the only mass market cider in America that doesn't taste like sugary apple juice

I gotta pick up some Woodchuck summer since I like the blueberries

My go to has been Rekorderlig, little expensive but very very good.

I've learned to discard opinions of anyone promoting rekorderlig, and it has served me good.
People promoting rekorderlig seem to only praise piss, so it's good to have them around to know what is utter shite.

The best.

All the ciders mentioned so far are fine but not anything special at all.

For some real quality stuff, first off, I would recommend any Basque or Norman cider. These ciders put any "funky" or sour beer to shame, they are on a different level of rusticness but extremely delicious, champagne-like as well.

For US stuff, look for Millstone, or Crooked Shed who produce wonderful rustic but still distinctly new world/US ciders.

Roots Cider Company makes kickass draft cider, it's an ultra-small Nashville-based brewery though so you'll only ever find it in bars around here.

Otherwise >>8066509 is right, Strongbow is the undisputed top-tier for bottled ciders

Pic Related. Heavier bodied than regular cider and a noticable maltyness. Love this shit.

I tried an Ace pineapple hard cider, tonight. 10/10 would buy again.

Breton cider, some of the best cider you'll ever taste, makes all the ones you'll find in your local bottle shop seem like carbonated apple juice.

Norman cider is good too like this guy >>8067206 said

Your liver will thank me later

Crispin is my go-to as "brand in all stores".

Anyone have recs for brands which are not sickeningly sweet?
