Description
Cider Country: An Ancient Craft Becomes a Way of Life The story of cider is one that spans centuries and continents. From its origins in ancient, myth-infused civilisations to its current revival as a craft drink, cider has played a significant role in the lives of people around the world. James Crowden's book takes readers on a journey to uncover the fascinating history behind this popular beverage. He explores how an apple from Kazakhstan became a staple in British culture, and how monks, pirates, and politicians contributed to its popularity. The book also delves into the present day, meeting modern cider makers who are continuing the tradition of innovation and experimentation. Through his research and interviews with experts, Crowden reveals the surprising story behind this beloved drink, and why it has remained an integral part of British life for so long.
