Cider?

Danes don’t know what cider is. And be aware if they do. What they might think of is often the undrinkable sweet and nasty stuff misleading sold as cider. Don’t buy it. Don’t drink it. It’s a chemical cocktail of artificial additives. This is not cider and will never be. Cider is 100 % apple!

My aim is to develop a Danish cider on Danish apple varieties. That is it. So how to do this?

Let us combine modern brewing knowledge and facilities with the past respect and understanding of local grown produce and from this produce a high quality cider from Danish apples.

Year’s back in England, France and Spain every single farm produced their own cider. It was a part of their annual routine. Apples was collected, crushed, fermented and bottles. My guess is that the quality may have varied a lot. Now it’s 2012 and the world has changed. Food is produced in huge production plants from raw materials from all over the world. Artificial additives are a must more than a choice. Food is something we sporadically relate to between 5-6 PM on our daily run through the supermarket. So let us combine the best from now and then.
