Description
Against The Grain ciders are crafted to be easy drinking but with all of the subtle complexities afforded by soft tannins, excellent blending and high quality fruit. Our aim is to tempt more curious drinkers into the wonderful world of craft cider. Although a few of our creations will be a bit ‘out there’ for some drinkers, for others it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
In terms of our apples, we use the best fruit we can source and where we can’t source local apples to fit our needs, we work with exceptional partner orchards to help us find what we’re looking for. We never use concentrates.
We strongly believe in implementing Green business strategies to work toward a more sustainable future. Our apple mulch is passed to farms to be used as feed and our packaging for home deliveries reuses old packaging goods - so as little as possible is wasted.
