Cider -that delicious alcoholic beverage made from apples- is a firm favourite of mine. Along with its darling pear-based sister, 'perry', you could pour it into me by the bucketload (and watch me collapse or toddle off to start fighting buses).
I know the Spanish brew 'sidra'. But the question, obviously enough here, is- is the stuff produced anywhere in Colombia?

podborski says on Sep 25, 2007, 17:54: cider is quite popular in argentina, so I would bet it is at least available in Colombia too. It's a very common christmas gift, like pound cake would be in NA.

famsearch says on Sep 28, 2007, 21:35: now hold on a second here. apple cider on it's own has no alcohol, that's why it's sold in grocery stores and such. what i think all of you are talking about is hard cider, where a little bit of yeast has been thrown in, and has been allowed to ferment, and applejack is basically distilled hard cider. dan |

Albatross says on Apr 15, 2008, 04:15: Cider is one of the things I miss most about England... I've killed many a brain cell with a pint or two (...or six)... but I haven't run across cider in Colombia... I don't think they grow apples. “Democracy - a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H.L. Mencken |

adrimm says on Apr 15, 2008, 06:41: What we have here is about 7%, but they have one called scrumpy that is 11%... but what I like about it is the flavour.

adrimm says on Apr 15, 2008, 06:43: Do apples need seasons? I heard that they were growing peaches near Pamplona.. and imho, peachland can also be appleland (climatically), unless the soil is wrong.

jonas says on Apr 15, 2008, 09:37: no, apples don´t need seasons. They grow apples around Ambato, Ecuador which has a mild climate, maybe 2000m altitude. But the apples are small and expensive. Reason why in Ecuador same as Colombia most apples are imported from Chile. Because apples like seasons. Some Italian geezer explained to me once that apples locally grown in Ecuador are so expansive because they have to pick all the leaves once a year to make the tree believe it is autumn ;-) What I have, I do not want to lose, but Where I am I do not want to stay, but those I love, I do not want to leave, but those I know I no longer want to see, but Where I die, I do not want to go;I want to stay where I have never been |
