London Glider
London Glider Cider, the cider from suburbia (South Woodford, London Borough of Redbridge)
This year’s Pigs Ear beer & cider festival has two boxes of the London Glider Cider, the first cider made within the M25 in a long time – possibly ever! I’m told that it’s some of the last to be available from this year’s vintage – ELAC have got their hands on a box of dry and medium dry. Available while stocks last.

I took a different train route back to London this weekend, which resulted in a 2 hour dwell in Halifax.

Turning to the Good Beer Guide for advice I chose the warmth of The Three Pigeons to while away an hour after some Yorkshire fish & chips.

De Molen
Craft beer lovers will probably be well acquainted with the name De Molen, a brewery situated in Bodegraven around 1 hour south of Amsterdam by train.

This week sees the return of the Leyton Orient supporters association’s Piglet beer festival, a 30 beer and 4 cider/perry affair. As they have helpfully sent me their beer menu in advance, it can be found here. The festival opens at 5pm on Thursday 8th November.
2012 Pigs Ear Festival to celebrate Cockney Beer
So as we head towards the end of August and enjoy the last few weeks of summer, it’s also time to start thinking about the delights winter holds in store for us. So here is a message from my friends at East London and City CAMRA! – I hope to see you there!
