Yesterday was my birthday, so I decided to simply invite everyone to join me in what I’d be doing anyway: drinking cider. Too many conversations about how I need to keep track of what I’ve had and what I liked, so here it starts…

Except that I need to go back today to see what I had last night. I don’t remember the exact names! I’ll fix this later, and I’m assuming I’m the only person on the planet who even knows this exists right now, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

For example:
The second cider I had was a Bourbon Barrel one, but I don’t remember who by. Not for a beginner unless you like dry, bitter, and distinctly flavored with Bourbon. I loved it!

I also had one of the Basque ciders. Which one? Don’t remember. I do remember it was funky tasting and very sour, but not so much as the other one I had last week, which I also don’t remember the name of.

See the problem here?

The Blue Mountain on tap was not the usual Dry Creek. It was dryer and less sweet. I’m a huge fan of the Dry Creek, which I often describe as very wine or Champagne, though more recently someone said a Pinot Grigio. This one was drier, but the same, wonderful, crisp taste.
