We’re still in Toronto with the Canadian ciders! This is one I had in the hotel room.
Stadium Island Peach was a surprise, as it’s much drier than you’d expect from a peach cider. It was very nice though!
This was another cider that I had with Mum at Pogue Mahone.
The 1904 is quite different to the 901. It starts off a little too dry for my liking, but the taste develops beautifully throughout the pint. This is becoming a bit of a theme!
This was the first of the two ciders that I had while out for drinks with Mum at Pogue Mahone on the Tuesday in Toronto.
I was pleased to find that a plus point of the Pogue Mahone management change is that they’ve started serving Brickworks 901 in a regular pint glass, because when I was in Toronto two years ago, they used to serve it in a jam jar!
Unfortunately I did not escape the jam jar, because I found they were still using it at the Elephant & Castle three days later:
Anyway, the cider. Brickworks is one of the most prominent cider companies in Canada – they make a good few different ones – and the 901 is probably the most common on draught in bars. It’s got a lovely medium sweetish taste – you just have to try and avoid the ‘jam jar as glass’ thing!
