A sit down Cider Chat with the makers behind Worleys and Honey’s Cider!

Neil Worley was last on this podcast back in 2016 on episode 26! He and Ria met up at CiderCon which was being held that year in Portland Oregon. Neil’s episode on Keeving, a basic how-to, has been a perennical favorite for listeners. Kimberly Jones took over Honey’s Cider in 2019 for Bob Honey. Both makers are based in Somerset and each have their own unique style and approach to making Cider.

Neil and Kim have observed a shift in cider preferences, with still ciders flourishing outdoors. Neil’s experiments in keeving and controlled oxidation highlight the scientific precision he applies to cider making. Meanwhile, Kim is expanding Honey’s range with blends tailored to local heritage.
