Surprise! Now there's an apple you don't see every day....its called Hidden Crimson, for a good reason by the looks of it😄 Not ripe yet but we couldn't help taking a look after a 5 year wait since planting.

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@ConlanDerek @CorkGourmetGuy Thanks Derek and Dave, most convenient is to order online on our shop if you can’t find it locally. We’ll be putting up the special editions in the new year and lots of mad casks in the waiting for 2025🥂

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@ReluctantF00die Sorry to hear Sarah and Cathal ☹️ye had such great menus and for what it’s worth we appreciated your business. I really hope the environment starts to improve for restaurants and bars

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@BeoirCider @BeoirOrg @BeersIveKnown @DrinkBritain @PomeFruits @LittlePomona Oh no, that’s terrible news. Sad to hear and sympathies to James, family and friends. 🙏🏻

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@DKenni Might be one for the future, but for now it’s a dabble :-) the phenolics in meadowsweet go great with peat or smoke 🔥

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

The experimental section of the drinks cabinet, all of the drinks coming from common garden plants. And a rolling alcohol free fizz; a continuous wild ferment that is drank fizzy before the abv is above 0.5%. This one from wild water mint + frozen lime leaves🍃

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

The first pressings of the year are underway this week :-) Nice volume
of apples but the lack of sun has them a little light on sugar so far. We’ll see how they develop !

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@ShamHanifa those frozen lime leaves are a revelation, I’ve been cooking Agak agak inspired everything since Saturday! ❤️

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

Great talks today @feastcork by @flavourIE called ‘Cook the Books’ with a fine selection of stories, books and tastes from @Bibliocook @caitruthfood Michelle Darmody and @ShamHanifa !

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@flavourIE @feastcork @Midleton_Park Thanks for organising Kate @flavourIE it was a great chat and to @KennedySantina_ for the amazing pork rillette with @ballyvolanehse Apple jelly!

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

Great session today at @corkonaforkfest with Laurie, Liam, Mark and Brian for a live podcast of @whiskeychatspod at @CorkOperaHouse

[EightDegreesBrewing @8degreesbrewing]

@DavidMarra @RossCider @Adam_HWells @whiskeychatspod @DKenni @thecowmanshow @BarMas @So_mmel_ier @vendemmiawine @64_Wine There is so much in terms of cider and perry ‘varietal discovery’ to be had from Ross-on-Wye; they grow and press so many single varietals that you can’t find anywhere else. The Flakey Bark is a rare Perry pear too - great one to have tasted!

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

Loving the setup at No.2 Point Road in Crosshaven, a coffee shop and pantry converted from the old terrace, and including a few familiar products amongst an excellently curated collection of items 😃🌞

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@Adam_HWells @RossCider It’s some apple! That colour is ridiculicious😀

[Killahora Orchards @Killahora]

@Cider_Review @BarMas The EU marketing standards people are trying to come to an EU consensus on definition of cider; what % of juice, where from, concentrate ? etc. the direction of travel is
‘At least 50% of juice’, but France at 99% hates it, & Sweden at 15% also hates it! So will be a challenge!

[Stonewell Cider @StonewellCider]

A great chat in the Drinks Theatre Ballymaloe this morning with @highbankorchard & @Killahora good fun as ever. With thanks to MC @colmmccan
