hard cider

[Ranger]

When I was stationed at Maidstone I used to drink in a pub called The Minstrel that used to sell local produced real ales, local fruit and veg wines and a cider from a farm near a village called Biddington. The cider was in a 40 pint plastic barrel plonked on the end of the bar with a small tap near the bottom. The landlord would not sell it in anything other than half pints though he would sell you a pint of snakebite made with it. This stuff was so raw I swear you were picking bits of apple out of your teeth after drinking it. Mind you, this was 25 years ago and the pub is now called Ye Olde Flying Pig and I've no idea what drinks it serves now.
