@whingingpomme_ @CAMRA_Official @Cider_Review We should publicise this:
"A YouGov survey found that 93% of people think that the preservation of traditional orchards is important – with 87% of respondents supporting raising the ‘minimum juice content’ of cider to help halt the decline of orchards"

We had to go all ‘old skool’ with a manual scratter today as our electric one is poorly sick. It was the press that proved the main problem in the end, but we (or rather Rob) battled on and everyone slurped on juice and took some home too.
Great folk, great convo, great event 🍎
