#CraftCon
One of the problems of having given two talks this year, including one as keynote at the @3ccpa.bsky.social CraftCon 2025 conference, is getting asked to do more. Have been asked to give a talk at the state pomology society AGM next year. Less confident about doing so in German. 🤔

I've only had Rob's stuff once, when I met him at CraftCon in 2024. It was damn good, wish we could get it in Chester

I wish it was easier to get proper artisanal British cider here in Germany. Had the pleasure of buying a couple of bottles of Blue Barrel’s bourbon barrel-aged cider for our table at CraftCon last March. Good stuff!

Not sure even I could talk about FB for a full session without having bottles to open 😁
I had thought about a variation of my CraftCon talk, looking at lost and extant perry and cider cultures of Central Europe (leaving out our conservation project), but that’s probably of no benefit to the ACA.

When we were in Hereford for CraftCon we were shocked by how poor the cider selection was in the pubs, and that the Beer House was closed until the evenings.

And the results are in! Thank you to all our delegates for your constructive feedback on this years CraftCon, inspiring indeed! Plans for 2026 are well underway, what talks and tastings would you like to see next year?

Reflections on CraftCon🍏

What an incredible few days at @3ccpa.bsky.social #CraftCon! The conference, held at the Green Dragon Hotel in Hereford, was packed with insightful talks, inspiring people, and, of course, outstanding cider.

It was back to regular programming this morning. Still digesting @3ccpa.bsky.social CraftCon I think 😁

The always delicious Yarlington Mill SV from @templecider.bsky.social in @thatbeerplace.co.uk is the perfect way to continue the weekend after @3ccpa.bsky.social CraftCon

You know when you're attending something good when you completely forget to take photos. #Craftcon was superbly organised: well done Three Counties Cider and Perry Association!! What a programme. And it was so good to be able to do a talk at it for the museum, on Cider brandy.

Had a wonderful time at @3ccpa.bsky.social CraftCon seeing faces old and new, and from near and far. The cider community really cannot be beaten!! Wassail!
