Comment on Hard Truths About Hard Cider by irisira

I was hoping you said the cider you ended up with was Harpoon. That, Strongbow, and Magner’s (in that order) are what I look for on tap when I am in the mood for hard cider. And while apples are, for me, quintessential fall, hard cider is an exception. It is crisp, cold, sweet (yet tart) and refreshing when done right. Harpoon has it nailed.

However, if I were to choose my favorite, it would be Bellwether in the Finger Lakes. They’ve started carrying it in Empire, and I could not be happier. Though, it does make my heart happy that the orchard that holds such find childhood memories for me (and, IMHO, has the best cider donuts in the region) has gotten national attention for their cider. :) (Which is also quite good, though I haven’t had it in some time.)

No cookies and cream? That’s madness. Now I don’t feel quite so awful about missing it. I will, however, make time to go to The Snowman tomorrow and get myself a cookies and cream Boston Shake. Looking forward to the results of all your efforts!

I’m getting excited. Just got off the phone with the last of the ice cream places, and now we have an official list of available flavors that can be found at all five establishments. There are some unexpected ones, and others which I might have expected are conspicuously absent. Here they are:

Butter Pecan
Chocolate
Coffee
Maple Walnut
Strawberry
Vanilla

For a future “ATP”: Profussor, did you know that Putnam Market in Saratoga Springs is building their own cheese cave to age/mature the “finest cheeses on earth”? AND that you can personally select cheeses from said cave that they will custom cut for you? Wasn’t this one of your chief complaints about the Capital District, a lack of good cheese counters/options?

FYI potassium sorbate and sulfur dioxide (sulfites) are common ingredients in winemaking and hard cider is closer to wine than beer. Most wines at least have sulfites. I prefer not to use them when I make wine because I firmly believe they give headaches. Fructose, or sugar, can also be used to raise the abv of the final product, not necessarily a bad thing. As for the other crap I have no explanation and there’s no excuse for adding them other than to water down the juice to save money.
