Description
The company was founded in 1895 by Léon Stassen (1852-1931), who produced cider with apples from his own orchard. In 1992 Stassen becomes part of the English group HP Bulmers. In 2003 join Stassen and HP Bulmers the S&N group (Scottish & Newcastle). After sole ownership by Bulmers and S&N, the company returned to the fourth generation family members led by Philippe Stassen in 2008, but was acquired by Heineken in 2012.

Tap at Red Lion, Jewelry Quarter, Birmingham. Clear gold with brief thin white top. Semi-sweet, tangy apple juice, somewhat woody but not much complexity. Light bodied, easy drinking, mid to high carbonation. Aims towards mass market fodder and is a bit above average in that regard but that's about it.
