This is our most adventurous cider: it's the product of a round-the-world adventure to find the cleanest, crispest and smoothest cider making techniques.

Not your average Best Bitter. We've taken all the things we love about this classic British beer, and brought it up to date with the addition of some zesty US hops late in the brewing process for fruity flavours to complement the bready malts and a snappy bitterness. Sitting somewhere between a Best Bitter and a American West Coast IPA, we aren't sure exactly what this beer is, but what we do know is it's delicious!

There’s a flavour harmony across apples and blackcurrant, which we’ve brought to the fore here with our Herefordshire blackcurrant cider. Our skill comes in growing apples and our friends at Pixley Berries are the experts at growing blackcurrants. With varieties such as Jonagold, Cox, Bramley and Rubens as dessert apples featuring in a naturally sweet base, the blackcurrants lend a fresh berry aroma and taste to the drink. It’s a refreshing, sweet drink, and we’ve kept the strength low too.
