Three brothers making cider from apples in our neck of the woods. Less that a mile from where the River Alt meets the River Mersey as they flow into Liverpool Bay, lies Alt Cottage, a disused farm building on Altcar Training Camp, the home of Brennan’s Cider. Here, we produce our exclusive, small batch, whole juice, handcrafted cider.

Brennan’s Cider use traditional craft cider methods to produce small, handcrafted batches of dry cider, made predominantly from locally sourced culinary and dessert apples donated by the local community or picked growing wild by the brothers themselves. These apples produce an acid led cider that is naturally carbonated with citrus overtones. They also use cider apple varieties sourced locally and from Herefordshire, to blend with the locally sourced fruit to create a cider that is more tannin led with a richer taste.

The brothers have now expanded their cider making operation into the barn alongside their cider house and hope to increase production this season and in anticipation of this they have invested in a larger hydro press and a commercial fruit mill which they hope will enable them to achieve this goal.
