Jacob Nothstine Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Seen this the other night for Smith and Forge Hard Cider. Is the hard cider any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 After watching that video - I guess we all can throw our anvils away as they are not needed LOL, UMMMM NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I saw the commercial, might pick up a bottle of the cider but I didn't see any blacksmithing content. Am I missing something? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I tried some at the bar the other day. Very very bitter-ish, guaranteed to pucker your cheeks! It was like biting into a green apple, only with the green apple on steroids. It would be good as a mixer, or watered down to make something lemonade-y. But as a straight drink? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anachronist58 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I believe, John McPherson, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faber Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 wow, talk about efficient. I never would've thought about just hitting it in the fire, forging IN the forge...it just makes sense, and I'll second that anachronist58. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Nothstine Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Finally pick some up. It was ok, would not be my first choose but would not turn one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo7 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 John McPherson, I'm 5'6" and 12 st ringing wet, but if you ever pick my anvil up like that I'll ...I...I...I'll have to buy you a beer!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I dont even drink, but I would run out and buy him a few if he wanted it too, and I am 6'2" and 260# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I finally got to try some and like it. If your a beer guy, that likes a hoppy beer its probably not for you. I prefer wheat beers myself, and like hard ciders even more. Woodchucks Amber had been my recent preference, but Smith and Forge is better IMO.

Frosty Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yea, in was in a can!!!!! :D Ian Is that like asking the guy at the counter if he has Prince Albert in the can? "Let him out, I gotta go!" Yeah yeah, it's a joke from my kid-hood and wasn't funny then either, evidently it was old when my Father was a kid. Frosty The Lucky.

Ted T Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 John McPherson :o WOW! My Swage Block that is about that same size weighs 172 pounds. No telling how much that anvil weighs :unsure: - Must be 1,000,0000,000,00 pounds (or so) at least! I am speeeeeechless to see how powerful you must be! I want to drink what ever you drink! :) Maybe I could get to forging again! I would bet your arm could catch on fire just like the guy in the commercial and it would not bother you either! Thanks for the awesome photo! I got to go get my wife to come and look or she won't believe me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 There was a guy at the last ABANA meet in Rapid City with sheet metal anvils and swage blocks, so I could not resist. On the other hand, I have picked up and walked uphill 50 yards with a 250 lb Columbian anvil in a bearhug, and I can pick up and move my 150 Kg Euroanvil from the stand to a table. Not bad for a desk-bound old relic born under a flag with 48 stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
