[Rugby Toffee]

Now lads and Lasses,

I am off to Somerset next week and would like your personal reccomendations of the above if any.

I am aware this will open doors to many a piss take , but I am clinging onto a slight hope one or more of you may have a serious suggestion

I'm going to Chilcompton next Saturday for the Wessex Beer and Cider Festival. Went last year and got absolutely tw@tted!

I live in Somerset. Ciders to look out for: Orchard Pig, Rich's Farmhouse, Perry's, Heck's, Broadoak Bee Sting Perry, Black Rat, Jack Ratt.

Ales: Milk Street Funky Monkey, Butcombe, Dawkins' Brassknocker, Bath Gem, Blindman's Icarus Ale, Milk Street Elder Fizz - an elderflower brew more like a lager than an ale, but bloody lovely. Otter ale (from East Devon), St. Austell tribute (Cornish, but you get it round here quite a bit).

Milk Street is a microbrewery based at my local, most of their brews are pretty ace to be fair. Funky Monkey is the pick of them though.

Thatchers mate. Straight from the barrel at The Black Horse, Clapton in Gordano. Best in Somerset.

Not really in to Cider but I had a pint of that Thatchers Roydo mentioned on draught up here in The Monro on Duke Street a while ago. Not bad at all.

Have a slice of Orange in it?

 

[Groucho]

No I don't think I did. Have had fruit slices in wheat beers though. I actually prefer them without

I though to much scrumpy led to needing the toilet for a number 2?

Well, aye, Thatcher's goes without saying. Not like you'll have to look for it in Somerset though.
