Tasting: cider - club owns a fruit press, club members can use it out if you want to press your own.
Crispin - a brand to try, but wasn't available for the tasting. Cider with belgian yeast.
Lots of discussion: we should start a thread on the forum (yeast, apple varieties, etc.)
1st cider: sweet - WoodChuck Hard Cider
2nd cider: more tart, more wild - Ace Cider (from California)
