Hey everyone. Here is my article for this upcoming week. Interesting article on hard cider and how more and more restaurants are starting to include it on its menus.
I love cider! Especially mixed with a little captain Morgan’s it is one of my favorites. It’s interesting to see cider growing in popularity especially in the scenes of it as a craft beer or wine. As someone who enjoys craft beer the idea of paring a 2005 Oregon cider with my next lamb dish is something that grabs my attention. It is a great idea that these bar tenders and chefs have, too brining back cider, one of the oldest drink know to man, and I was also very surprised to hear of English ciders and Spanish ciders being some of the best. This is really following the trend of creativity, people are continuing to re invent old items and bring them back to the lime light. Cider is something that I haven’t seen that much before on a bar or drink menu but something that would be great to try during the fall/winter. It’s not just the traditional apple cider either, this cider is going for 30$ 40$ a bottle that is some expensive stuff. It also sounds like some delicious stuff, it is definitely something that I look forward to try.
Cider is great!!! I started drinking hard cider maybe 2 years ago when a friend introduced me to Strongbow. This is an English hard cider that is very popular and it made me realize how good cider can be. It is refreshing and has the perfect amount and balance of alcohol, sweetness and acidity. Then last year I went to Newport Vineyards with a class and tried their hard cider. It was great, I could see why people loved it so much it seems versatile and unusually refreshing. I think cider is a great product and its wonderful that chefs and bars are bringing back cider and better than ever! It seems that chefs can use more bold intense flavors and not have to worry about the beverage pairing since cider is just what you need to balance those strong flavors. Cider is gonna challenge chefs to be aggressive and hopefully the demand for cider will grow and these unusually high prices can start stabilizing a little.
I really enjoyed reading this article. I feel like everyone enjoys drinking cider. The fact that they are incorporating it into alcoholic drinks is a great idea and is definitely bringing back a past time favorite. I have never tried cider mixed with captain morgan, but I will have to try that because it sounds good. The fact that some of these drinks are selling for high prices surprised me and was something I did not know. I have not seen it sold around here, but living in New England this kind of drink would be perfect during the Fall. I think that this item will grow in popularity around New England and spark people's interest. The pairings they speak about seem great and really go together. That is how they are going to make this item popular in restaurants by pairing it with particular food. It will be interesting to see if they are able to incorporate it into food and sauces as well.
I found this article very interesting, being that I served hard cider for the first time this past fall. I too have tried the Strongbow and thing it is delicious. I can see how craft brew drinkers would enjoy hard cider. I have had the bottled cider, as well as homemade hard cider. I think cider is delicious and worthy of becoming a new trend. Hard bottled cider is such a refreshing drink for the fall season. At my work we also ran a cider drink special. Warm apple cider with either Captain Morgan, or Crown Royal...MMMMMmMmMM! It really hits the spot, and I would consider it a "comfort" drink. I look forward to the rising popularity of cider, and I agree with Matt, it will be very interesting to see if/how chefs incorporate this into food.
