The worlds of urban and country cider collide with the limited edition release of All Made Equal, the result of our latest collaboration with cider legend Tom Oliver.
Taking the influence of the West Country and crafted in our London cidery, All Made Equal is a truly unique blend of styles, balancing the heavy tannins of Oliver’s traditional apple varieties with our lighter and more acidic dessert styles.
The deeper meaning behind the name represents the perceived unbalance of the UK cider industry, with craft cider makers struggling to move onto the next stage in their commercial development due to unfair parity of cider duty with industrial cider producers.
Classic country apples form the backbone of the cider, rich in structure and high in tannins. These are blended with London pressed varieties, adding a sharp and aromatic influence to create a cider with a fine and delicate mouthfeel, leading to a dry finish.

Keg at Hawkes. It pours clear pale gold with a tiny bubbly head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funk, damp leaves, apple skin, apple crumble, custard creams and soor plooms. The taste is firmly dry, bone dry even, earthy, musty, bit of funk, apple skin, gooseberry, grape skin, apple crumble and custard, bit of spice and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and just a touch of carbonation to lift it. Really nice balance and rather classy actually. Just the right amount of sweetness (i.e. not much). Nice work.
