All comments too perfect in typing and grammar. Come on, It’s good! But don’t pull a fast one, ok.
All the comments are genuine and for the grammar I can’t comment good or bad because I don’t know what good grammar is. By the way is mine ok??
Had black dragon in a few food festivals this yer, without doubt the best cider I,ve had. Just had my first box, first of many.
I have enjoyed your Black Dragon product at a local pub(in polypins or what they may be called now (large wine boxes?)). I am tucking into a chicken vindaloo at the local pub, and the curry brings out such a clean apple taste and finish with your product which is so totally complementary. Maybe the chef has included his or her socks in the curry, but having tasted your Black Dragon with a traditional pub curry offering which amazed me, maybe you should consider how you could benefit from such an opportunity. Faced with the facts that cider is such a traditional refreshment and the UK has a genuine curry legacy and evolving cuisine, the world is your orchard! I wish you success, H
I do wish I could buy this in the US. A friend has brought me bottles when he visits and it’s great stuff.
Love it – full on berry flavour. Try before you buy, you won’t be disappointed
Had your gorgeous cider at the Snowdrop in Lewes, Sussex. Good cider at a good price! Goes well with rabbit casserole, or anything else for that matter
Just sampled a pint of Black Dragon for first time and can highley recommend it
tried this at the Weatherspoons cider festival, I really like Ciders but this one is stunning, had to txt mates around the country to find a Weatherspoons and try it,bloody lovely.
i had a couple of hand-pulled pints yesterday and found it to be an excellent drink.
Could quite easily be habit-forming.

Had my first, two, pints afternoon. Hand-pulled in the West End House, Kirkstall, Leeds.
An excellent brew, nicely dry with a distinctive taste.
Rather expensive at £3.80 a pint but worth it.
John.
I enjoy what you guys are usually up too. This kind of clever work and reporting! Keep up the amazing works guys I’ve included you guys to my blogroll.
While sitting offshore ended up having an enlightening conversation about cider. Told in no uncertain terma that “Black Dragon Does The Business”.
20 litres arrived yesterday so waiting for me chilling in the garage.
Looking forward to getting home and getting after it.
Will post my tasting notes later if I can still keep things together.
Best cider ever. Thank you wetherspoons for running out of Strongbow and only then letting me know that Black Dragon existed. Iechyd da.
This is my favorite cider ever since i first tried it in a wetherspoons. Thanks.
Often buy this when I can, Got a 10 liter box of it right now.
Very nice stuff, and well deserved of the awards.
been drinking this for a good few years now, bottled with a fizz or still on draught this is the nectar from the holy grail of all ciders. Daffodils, leeks, male voice choirs and BLACK DRAGONS.
First time ever tonight…
Never seen this in Finland before, retail price in a bar 9€/bottle.
Really nice, ranks high
Thank you for this
First time ever tonight…
Never seen this in Finland before, but extremely high priced 9€/bottle.
Really nice, ranks high
Thank you for this
I bought a bottle of Black Dragon from Bristol Eastgate Tesco on a whim, as I’d never seen it stocked before. I really enjoyed it and was disappointed that it has not been back in stock.
I tried it again at the Bristol Cider Festival and it reaffirm my opinion that it’s a cracking cider. I gave it 10/10 on my score card but unfortunately forgot to hand it in.
I am in the middle of my first pint of the B Dragon in wetherspoons on the waterfront brierley hill. It a great flavoured matured cider luv it want to make it
tried two bottles of this tonight …really nice …well done
tried two bottles of this tonight ……was really nice and will def drink it again …….well done
This is the best cider that I have ever tasted. I am a cider buff and tried this recently in Wales on holiday. WOW!!! Unfortunately, haven’t been able to find it so far in my locality (Swindon). Never mind, will still be there as a Welsh treat next time!
Had a few pints of Black Dragon and its the best cider out there
Outstanding, rustic but not farmyard, wholesome but not in a vegan way, tasy but not like a roast dinner, strong like giant haystacks not schwarzenegger, sweet, smoky and tonguesome, goes well with cheese and pork pies or just drink on its own or with friends , good friends mind ‘cos you may well end up losing ‘em due to loose tongues and flyin’ fists. A good breakfast cider but can be drunk at anytime. 11 out of 10
Heaven sent a great cider to drink
I discovered this divine nectar at the Stratford-upon-Avon Food Festival this weekend, I drink a LOT of cider and this ranks VERY highly on my list! Anything above an 8/10 is GOOD but this blew me away…9 or maybe even 9.5/10!?! SERIOUSLY rivals anything from Hereford or Somerset, GREAT work guys…REALLY! Thank you!
tried this on Draft at the Jollybrewmaster in Cheltenham last night ; really easy to drink , in fact a tad too easy ;>)
Diolch yn fawr iawn. Sidr hyfryd…
Tried my first taste of Black Dragon cider at Wetherspoons last night. WOW a definate champagne of all ciders!!! Gorgeous stuff!!! When will you be selling it in Asda??
Gwynt y Ddraig am byth!
I consider myself a bit of a cider connoisseur and this the the best cider I’ve ever had!
I used to drink this all the time when I lived in Cardiff, buying from my local Tesco… I almost cried when I moved to Oxfordshire and realised no Tesco (or other supermarket) in the county sells it… Now when any of my friends visit South Wales they know to bring me back any bottles they can find! Need to get this stocked in more of the country, anyone I have even gotten to try it has loved it!
Please god start shipping this to the US. I drank probably 40 bottles of this when I was in Wales and I am going through withdrawal now
I discovered this gem in my local Weatherspoon recently. A fabulous cider that tastes amazing! I was so happy to then see it on sale in Tesco and Asda! Thank you and good work to all those at Gwynt y Ddraig x x
We recently performing in disney land paris with my band..for the St. Davids celebrations. We tend to have a beer or two as the night progresses and I always have cider as its much more forgiving on my throat than beer or larger. To my dismay there was no cider to been seen in the venue !!! By the grace of god..there was a stall outside the venue promoting welsh products and we came across Black Dragon. All I can say is WOW!!!! Crisp, Full of flavour and dare I say it …Potent!! Magical night. To travel all the way to Paris to sample a cider thats brewed only a few miles from my home was bizzare!! Good work guys and if only I could get a few more venus selling your product then the world would be a much merrier place!!!
I have tried some great Beers/Ciders in the past and I have to say this has to be the best Cider I have ever tasted. First class and deservedly an award winner, full marks.
Came across this last week, absolutley divine stuff… and I’m Welsh and had never heard of it before.
Knocks the pants off others!
Tried this last night in my local wetherspoons. Excellent cider….
Where can I get it in the colchester area?
Tried it in Bodmin and WOW. One of the best ciders avaible, where can I get it in N Somerset?
The new cider shop at the top of Christmas steps in Bristol is currently selling it.
We stock Black Dragon in our restaurant and shop and will be brewing our own cider this year.
Wow, what a cider!
Just tried it at Weatherspoons (as part of their fall Ale and Cider Festival) and well… it was gorgeous! As a Herefordian, I am used to cider but this just blew me away! Highly recommended!
As a fellow Herefordian, I tottaly agree, Didn’t think John Weston or Dennis Gwatkin could be beaten, was I wrong or what, Cider heavan!!!!!!!!
Hey,
I was out in Weatherspoons last weekend and wanted to try something different, saw your Black Dragon and decided to give it go. Wow! without doubt the best cider I have ever tasted, it’s amazing. Just wondered if there was any national retailer that sold this little gem? as I would love to kick back after work with a bottle.
Have seen this in Asda in Cardiff!
