• Cider Voice 60 - The Broome Farm Orchard Walk

  Join the Broome Farm Orchard Walk audio story. This is a narrative discussion between Albert, our regular host, and his father Mike and his brother Martin, of the Johnson family at Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company in Broome Farm, Herefordshire. This is the complete audio story of their new orchard walk - a free to access walk with a choice of a 2.5km or 5km route, with 27 information signs, two picnic areas, an orchard library, a bike rack, and fully signposted directional signs. The audio for this episode was recorded and edited by neighbour and friend of the farm, Paul Kennedy. This episode is meant to be enjoyed whilst on the walk, but it may work for you as a way to transport yourself to our farm from whereever you discover this podcast!

• Cider Voice 59 - The Fireblight Menace with Dr Kathryn Bruce

  With the brothers Wells conspicuous by their abscence (are they out there right now, spreading fireblight?), Albert has an opportunity to talk to Dr Kathryn Bruce, a social historian of horticulture and plant science who recently completed her PhD at the University of St Andrews. Kathryn's PhD had the title "The Fireblight Menace: Knowledge communities and their response to crop disease in the Anglo-world, 1880-1939", which attracted Albert's fascination as rapidly as new growth in a Gin Pear tree attracts Erwinia amylovor. Don't forget to contribute your data, tasting notes and experiences to ourpomona.org If you are an expert on fireblight, get in touch! We'd love to spread more awareness and knowledge about dealing with this disease. As a point of reference, the British pear varieties Albert has observed to be resistant to fireblight appear to be: Thorn, Hendre Huffcap, Yellow Huffcap, Red Pear, Butt, Winnal's Longdon, Taynton Squash, Hellen's Early and Barland. The varieties that are susceptible are Gin Pear, Moorcroft, White Bache, Oldfield, Green Horse, Turner's Barn, Bartestree Squash, Dead Boy, and Blakeney Red.

• Cider Voice 58 – Pommeaus, Mistelles and fortified ciders, with James Forbes

  Whilst Albert heads to Westminster, Justin and Adam recruit Little Pomona's James Forbes to chat about all things fortified in the cider category. James has just brought out his first Mistelle, Fomo (even if he's forgotten it today) and we learn how an 'alarming' coloured cider led to one of the most hyped releases of the last couple of years. Just and Adam are both card-carrying fans of all things fortified, and we chat about styles, approaches, ways to drink them and fortifieds with food. Plus Justin has hosted another cider supper club, this time with a Japanese-inspired vegan menu, Adam has unexpectedly won an award for Perry: A Drinker's Guide, and we learn how to tell the difference between fermentation and malolactic fermentation using just a bowl of Rice Krispies.

• Cider Voice 57 – An anxiety pulling-up of my socks, with Martin Johnson

  An anxiety pulling up of my socks, with Martin Johnson We continue to mine our families for quality cider content, and this time it’s Albert’s turn to provide a relative, in the shape of his fellow @rosscider maker, @yewtreepeterstow supremo and, coincidentally, brother, Martin Johnson. We discuss the running of a perfect cider pub, and everything Martin has done to transform the Yew Tree into just that. Storage and service of cider, how to get drinkers to give new things a try and bringing cider together with food. (Stand by for a wet sandwich supper club now that Albert has rightly fallen for the mighty Italian Beef). Featuring a swathe of Broome Farm ciders as you’d expect, we test Albert’s knowledge of his own batches and discover just how hard we can plug Ross-on-Wye.

• Cider Voice 56 – The Plight of the Hapless Cidermaker, with Caroline Wells

  The plight of the hapless cidermaker, with Caroline Wells For absolutely definitely 100% the first time ever on the show, we reveal that Justin and Adam have started their own cidermaking project, Three Wells Cider, and we’re joined by their business partner, cidermaking colleague and fellow Wells, Caroline, to tell you all about it. From being accidentally compelled to become craft drinks producers after buying a pair of blundstones to dodging storms, breaking mills, grey-faced conversations about hose fittings and vanning cider from Bromyard to Reading, this episode became part group therapy, part exposé of the lies propagated by the minimum intervention movement. Listen along and enjoy the story of Three Wells Cider’s first ever vintage.  Bonus ciders from Hjulsjö, Find & Foster and Little Pomona.
