Description
It’s too easy to let life become predictable and settle for the ordinary. Luckily though, Orchard Pig is no ordinary cider. It all began in a Somerset shed, surrounded by the best West Country apple trees and free roaming Old Spot pigs. But, whilst every orchard has apples, not every orchard has Old Spot pigs. We believe our free-spirited attitude is the magic ingredient which makes every pint of Orchard Pig taste so refreshingly different to all the rest. Not your average apples, not your average pig. Orchard Pig. It’s a rare breed.

Bottle from B&M, Manchester. Golden, mildly carbonated cider. Dry, understated with its apple, although still strong tasting. Apple is best in its aroma.

Draught at KEG, Bourne End, Bucks. As Ginger and Chilli, 4.0% abv. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with no head. Aroma is of moderate ginger, light chilli, toffee and apples. Towards heavy sweetness, light sour. Medium body, oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. The addition of the chilli and ginger is mild but is evident in the finish and it's pretty good overall.
