Batlow Premium Cider

February’s Choice magazine saw a comprehensive review of the commercially available ciders within Australia. Judged by industry heavyweights Max Allen (award winning wine columnist and chief judge at the Australian Cider Awards 2011), Mike Bennie (Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine writer), Chris Foster (owner of Annandale Cellars) & James Kendall (owner & founder of Small Acres Cyder).

We faired pretty well, if we do say so ourselves!

The full review is available to download via Choice magazine here.

Friday night kicked off Secret Garden 2012. 500 friends gathered for a night of highland fling, ciders & flash mob training. All was going well until the clouds closed in.

Wash it off and do it all again.

Last weekend Batlow Premium Cider partnered up with Secret Foodies to present ‘Pig & Swig’. If you’re unaware of Secret Foodies then click here to find out more, the long & the short of it..Secret Foodies organises unique dining experiences, 2 hours prior to the event you receive a text with the address of your unique dining location. By all accounts everyone had a superb evening of Batlow Premium Cider & Suckling Pig.

A huge thanks to Alex from Secret Foodies for pulling it all together and cheers to Lola Li of Figs & Brie for the pics, incidentally drop by Lola’s blog for tips on where to eat in Sydney.

There was a time when the only place to drink in Neutral Bay only Sydney’s Lower North Shore was The Oaks. Times have changed. There have been a few little bars and wine bars that have opened their doors and our favourite’s ‘The Local Bar’. This Sunday we kick off Local Cider Sundays @ The Local Bar. What does that mean? $5 Batlows, DJs, Batlow Cider cocktails from 3-7pm. Get down early as it fills up quick!
