Does anybody know which cider at cask days will be more on the sweet side?

Which is the most approachable for non beer/cider people?

The Vergers de la Colline Cuivre en Fut would be a good choice, I think. So long as the non-beer people don't mind the barrel influence.

Where did they respond? Was this a private message to you? I have had no response and my crew is threatening to bail for potential game 7 Saturday night.

They responded to someone asking the Q on Twitter:



It's the only response I've seen, but it's something...

I hear ya. My buddies and I were recently musing about a resource constraint analysis - I'm not sure if time or my sobriety level will be the scarce resource that runs out first!

A friend of mine is trying to sell his General Admission ticket for Session #4. He's asking $30.

If anyone is interested just PM me and I'll send you his email address.
