Description
Hello and welcome to Brothers Cider, the home of the original festival cider. We are Francis, Jonathan, Matthew and Daniel and for 14 generations, since 1658, when uncle Gabriel first sold his barrels around Wells, Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury, our family has strived to make light, refreshing ciders using a variety of fruit. We are constantly exploring new recipes and love to get your feedback on our latest creations.

We first started selling our Pear Cider at the Glastonbury Festival in 1995 near what was then called the Jazz World Stage. These days it is called The West Holts Stage but our bar is still in the same place. Over the years, festival goers kept asking us if it was possible to get our drink when the festival was over and so we decided to market it to pubs and supermarkets. Now you can get it all over the country and at other festivals besides Glastonbury. See you at the bar!

Watching one of four Scottish teams in a week of failure for all of them in European football as the background to this Pinkish-red coloured very sweet effort. It has a heavy red and dark berry flavour, feels artificial, feels very familiar to other macro choices of this ilk. If youโ€™re looking for positives it has an easy strength and texture.

On this drinking day in 1984 in support of the UK Miners' strike the National Dockyard Strike was taking place. Colliers' might drink this after a hard day in the pit, it's a strong and gritty cider, not least due to its toward sour apple, which is extremely characterful in terms of this cider, although the fruit is flavoursome enough to be enjoyed. Not quite as bad as I expected it to be.

Sweet and fruity. It's fine, but couldn't drink loads of it.
