Description
Founded in 2015 it was our mission to redefine craft cider. Craft beer had a revolution, but why was cider left behind? We set out to craft the best cider by blending specific pressed apple varieties together to untap unique flavour profiles. Cidermaking has typically been the foray of an aging vanguard - it takes tradition combined with vision to market and distribute cider far and wide. Craft beer calls to the next generation through intrigue and innovation, not only during the blending process, but on the bar and in the fridges too. 'Beard & Sabre Dry, Medium and Sweet' just wouldn't do if we wanted to inspire people to drink our cider.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. [GBBF no. 4 Cider] Clear bright yellow color, no head. Aroma is moderately sweet and sugary, but the flavor is quite dry. Hmm I tend to like the aroma but the flavor is quite boring imo.
