Driven by the fruit and a humble approach @littlepomona.bsky.social produce fully fermented ciders .. except the bitter sharp Stoke Red - racked to off dryness (balanced with acid). Very knockbackable

This week we are thrilled to publish Martyn Goodwin-Sharman’s first article for Cider Review, an exploration of @littlepomona.bsky.social’s ongoing solera-powered project, The Sum of the Parts, Acts 1 to 3. Yes, that Martyn of @neutralciderhotel.bsky.social and Instagram blue sky shots fame!

Nice fruity Perry from @littlepomona.bsky.social at the Beerhouse. #Cider #Perry #Pubs

Grab a seat at the Table Cider & Perry party. Jack is back, delving into the table cider and perry category. Featuring bottles from Wilding, Greggs Pit, Coddiwomple and @littlepomona.bsky.social #cider #cidre #apfelwein #perry #orchards 🥂

We’re kicking off a week-long celebration of real cider and perry, made with whole juice, wild yeasts, and nothing to hide. We’ll be cracking open some bottles and selling tasters by the glass, diving deep into the world of flavour, craft, and character.

Today, we're going to start by busting some myths and showcasing the true versatility of cider and perry. Come in the shop and rediscover what cider really is. Bring your curiosity... and leave your assumptions at the door

🍎 Think cider’s all sweet fizz & fake fruit? Think again. At TBP this week we’re going to be busting myths & pouring the real stuff, crafted with wild yeasts, heritage apples & A WHOLE LOT OF SOUL! Drop in. Get curious. Taste the truth.

It's been a busy old weekend. Loads of people just popping in. Lots of "do you do cider?" and "do you have anything like a lager?" a) we have a literal ton of fermented appley (& peary) goodness... probably even more! b) yes, lager... lots and lots and lots of delicious lagers from EVERYWHEREEEEE!

Editorial – EU cider definition creeping closer. EU legislators are proposing a 50% minimum juice content for cider, sparking debate about quality and heritage. @barmas.bsky.social argues it is not enough.

A truly wonderful mixed ferm Blackberry Graff collaboration between @littlepomona.bsky.social and Pomona Island at the tap takeover tonight in @thatbeerplace.co.uk so delicate and perfectly balanced

NEW - Olivers @rosscider.bsky.social @littlepomona.bsky.social This Is Cider 2022. 7.4% abv. £9.50/75cl A bit like the Travelling Wilburys/Avengers* of cider. (*delete as appropriate)

The vault opens: a journey into Little Pomona’s archives! In which Jack Toye has a @littlepomona.bsky.social lucky dip.

Little Miracle Perry by @littlepomona.bsky.social in @thatbeerplace.co.uk is the perfect way to end an early evening session. A simply beautiful Perry.

For better or worse, cider and vinegar have always been companions. Brett St Clair explores the nuanced role of acidity in flavoring food and drinks, and extolls the virtues of small batch, natural cider vinegar.

Exactly what I needed to boost my spirits at the end of this 🤦🏽‍♀️ week. ‘Wading In’ 2021 from @littlepomona.bsky.social as recommended 🙏🏽 by Susanna and James when I visited them last summer - and they quickly cottoned on to my unexpected penchant for Egremont Russet 🍎

Oh oh oh, I also had a glass of the @littlepomona.bsky.social Fomo pommeau and Jesus Christ!

Going old school with @adamhwells on Weds 26th Feb at 7pm on Insta Live to talk about all things Pommeau & our latest creation FOMO! I definitely don’t miss lock downs but I do miss the amazing lifelines that those online gatherings were. See you Wednesday I hope. Wassail! #pommeau #secretstory

After a busy week in the cidery, disgorging some beautiful ciders for release later this year, our little shop is open today from 12-3pm. Lots of goodies to be had, including the few remaining bottles of FOMO, especially for those who, well, don’t like to miss out on such things! Wassail! #cider

Jack chats with Nicky Kong of Manchester’s The Cat in the Glass, talking about and tasting the birthday cider collaborations she has made with her favourite makers. @rosscider.bsky.social, Smith Hayne, @littlepomona.bsky.social and @nightingalecider.bsky.social.

Popped over to @littlepomona.bsky.social to get my barrel cleaned (my old washer with attachment broke). Nice to talk about some nerdy things. And picked up a couple of bottles of course - including their brand new pommeau!

Yesterday we launched FOMO, our first, ever pommeau! The best kept secret in the drinks world, Pommeau is a blend of apple brandy, fresh apple juice & aged in barrel for some time. Deliciously sweet, fruity & spicy - it’s perfect with blue cheese or tarte tatin. Only 180 bottles made! Wassail!

It’s back!

🥃 You can’t go wrong with Kingston Black and this 2022 one - from @littlepomona.bsky.social - is the perfect #cider for the weekend! 🍎

Labelling in the winter sun.

✍🏽 Just had my first feature published in esteemed US #cider 🍎 publication #Malus and it’s lovely to receive my print copy. I dedicated my piece to the memory of the late Susanna Forbes of @littlepomona.bsky.social and it also includes @artistrawcider.bsky.social Tom Oliver and @alicapper.bsky.social

Beautiful day at Little Pomona

A wonderful Perry from @littlepomona.bsky.social to finish my Saturday off. Then time to sleep in my chair before the boxing.

The one our readers have been waiting all year for 😄

The big day is almost upon us! Our cider shop is open today for the last time this year, so if you’re local & need to stock up with some cider goodies come & see us between 12-3pm. Our online shop is still open, the last date for guaranteed Xmas delivery is the 19th. Merry Christmas!

After a slight technical hitch (thanks @vagrant.cider) ALL the recent releases are now available on the website if you fancy a bottle or two. Love and Wassail! 📸 @helenannesmith #cider #perry #christmasgifts #christmasdinner #naturalcider #glutenfree #vegan #wildfermented #guthealth

NEW RELEASES! We’re super excited to be launching these two very small batch ciders just in time for Christmas. Both are studies in barrel aging, that mysterious process in which cider & wood interact with each other across time. 🍏 Sum of the Parts, Act 3 🍎 Once in a Lifetime #2 Online now!

Perfect Saturday night drink 🥃 in the shape of @littlepomona.bsky.social Hard Rain: Hot Pink. Pet Nat Ciderkin with Hops and Blackcurrant 👌🏽 More of this kind of sublime #cider #hops overlap in my upcoming feature ✍🏽 in #Malus magazine

In the land of the 75cl bottle, the magnum is king! Great gifts, great for parties and great for the thirsty! Complete range online now. #doubletrouble #doiblefun

Keg-conditioned cider has been absolutely essential to us, crow-barring open a latent demand for good cider. By giving (i.e. forcing) samples to customers (along with a well trained team) it's helped us grow cider sales more than three-fold.

And finally, The Michael Jackson Award for Beer Writer of the Year goes to… 🏆 Winner: Ruvani de Silva  #BGBW24

This is a great piece of observation by Adam on the opportunities for keg conditioned cider. Breaking into the draught market will be one of low intervention ciders greatest challenges.

Wonderful tribute to Susanna Forbes @littlepomona.bsky.social and wonderful that @adamhwells.bsky.social takes the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social Gold Award and Jane Peyton takes the Silver Award for Cider and Perry Writing
