I've never had any hard cider,but I love apple cider and although I very rarely drink this thread has me wanting to hunt down some hard cider,maybe a flight out to Petaluma is in order.
just don't do like my Father in law,He got on a wine making kick and produced gallons of wines, Grape,edelberry,watermellon,strawberry etc. Except he didn't think they had enough kick so he started adding everclear to it. I want to tell ya a small glass of that stuff would make your fanny find a seat. Hmmmmm, wonder who around here sells hard cider ?
