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!

500ml bottle with BBE in 10 months. A slight darker gold than most ciders I’ve tried. Short lived white head. Aroma of mildly tart apples, oak wood. Low carbonation with medium body and slightly oily on the palate. Flavour of apple juice, wood, mild sourness, fairly dry finish. It doesn’t pull up any apple trees but it’s a good drinkable cider.

500ml bottle shared with my wife. Garish pink and fizzy with no head. Artificial rhubarb and custard aroma with vanilla. High carbonation but a little watery. Rhubarb and custard sweet taste with a mild dry finish and its not as overbearing as I thought from the aroma. I still don't like it though.
