This weekend our new stages, Ruth and Elisha, indulged in a quasi-mandatory Basque winter tradition: a ciderhouse visit. Hop a bus to Astigarraga, a nearby town whose ciderhouses gained fame late last century. It was once a totally homemade endeavour, in which friends invited friends to have some cider and, hey, use our grill if you BYOM (Bring Your Own Meat). Now, it’s more commercial, but also more available to the general public to enjoy. For a fixed price, you enjoy a typical cider house menu: a cod tortilla, bacalao with peppers and onions, and a big, juicy steak. Dessert is walnuts, Idiazabal cheese, and membrillo, or quince paste. The same year after year, from one cider house to another. And finally, most importantly, you are allowed unlimited access to the cider barrels. Basque cider differs greatly from its French, British and American counterparts. Made from fermented apples, it’s drunk in the year it’s made. It’s not sweet, and it can be very acidic…and always with a signature deep yellow color.

Cold mountains outside, warm steak and biting cider around a wooden table inside. It’s cider season.
