We should point out that Apple cider is an alcoholic beverage with sparkle in UK/Ireland, but just cloudy apple juice in the US.

Down to prohibition. For a time you couldn't legally sell alcohol so apple juice was sold under the name cider. Sometimes with handy instructions on how not to store it to avoid it fermenting into alcohol. Then, by the time restrictions were lifted, cider just meant apple juice as far as America was concerned.

Ot can't have been very strong. You need yeast really to make it formant, and I can't imagine that that was present in the drink.

I used to have a mate that would do this sort of thing, but he also used to argue that if you let cheese go mouldy it's blue cheese. So I never really used to taste his products.

Step 1 - Do not contaminate with yeast.

Also mouldy cheese is not blue cheese, your friend is a heathen. That said, blue cheese is mouldy but it's a specific type of mould that isn't harmful when eaten.
