Cidre flows 35c3
To secure spot on this session please sign in here.
Cider is an ancient alcoholic beverage prepared from apple juice (moût) fermented by variety of indigenous yeast. There are many different varieties and styles of ciders depending on the region of origin (for example France - Normandie/Bretagne), blend of different apples or more rare mono varietal ciders, traditionally fermented in the bottle (la prise de mousse naturelle) and we could go on and on. I Algoldor am now in a special formation cidricole so I take it as a special privilege to elevate the quality of this degustation to next level. We will talk about history of cidre making, today's situation, it's future and of course we will taste variety of high and also few lower quality products to get the spectrum right. This session will walk you through the basics. You will learn what you should be focusing on when tasting the beverage, what to expect based on what do you read on the label on the bottle - sweetness, bitterness/tardiness, acidity, pasteurization etc. depending on the region et cetera. If you have some special sample to share, your own make or something else please get in touch with me so we can plan for it.
Please note that you are going to drink at least half litre or rather over a litre of 4-5% beverages in an average (plus some specials) so you will feel it. We will have of course something to eat during the session so that should help. We will document most of the ciders on the table so you will be able to track them down. Still taking notes during the session is recommended. This workshop is based on donation at your will no one turned away for lack of funds creed. However please keep in mind that samples and ingredients for this event will be around 150-200 eu and ending up in a decent plus would not offend us at all.
