Roger Wilkins to join CiderPunk.com
We are delighted to announce that Roger Wilkins, possibly Somerset's most famous cider maker, or perhaps that should be infamous, is shortly to join us, selling his wonderful cider on our site.
Roger won this year's CAMRA Pomona award, a prestigious prize awarded "to the person, people, place or thing who has done the most to promote real cider or perry over the previous 12 months or for ongoing work to promote cider and perry", according to the CAMRA website. This is how they described him:
"Somerset-based farmhouse cidermaker who learnt his trade at his grandfather's knee. Roger has been making cider since 1969, and wining (sic) CAMRA awards since the 1980's, notably taking the Cider of the Year accolade at both the 1988 and 1989 Great British Beer Festival. A unique and dedicated individual with a passion for his products which is hard to equal."
Details are still being finalised, and we need to get some of our bag-in-the-boxes down to him so he's ready to ship your orders as they arrive, and of course the all important taster is still to occur; I'll need to sample a good drop so as I can make an honest review of the product, of course. But we'll be updating the shopping area to include Wilkins' Cider very soon now.
Here's a short video about Roger:
