Rosie's Blue Bell Seidr 6.6% PDF Print E-mail

ImageImageImageIt's all gone :(

As you know the first Rosie's Blue Bell Cider was launched on April 14th 2007 after our first apple pressing in October 2006. Well we did it again last October with your help and we launched it on the evening of Friday 20th June to coincide with our award presentation for Cider Pub of the Year and Pub of the Year from local CAMRA branch Vale of Clwyd.

The pressing was once again masterminded by our ever watchful and award winning cider maker Steve Hughes , maker of Rosie's Triple D Cider and recently won 2nd overall dry cider at the Welsh Championships and also won the medium outright at the same event. They finished runner up in the Welsh cider producers championship behind Seidr Dai in the final totting up.

Lots of Halkyn regulars donated a wonderful variety of Halkyn apples to add to our own slection from Llandela so we have a real Welsh cider! The varieties we managed to identify include: Bulmers Norman, Yarlington Mill, Dabinett and Michelin. We had (from Halkyn) Bramley, Tom Putt, we're sure there were Braeburns, Royal Gala and crab apples.
