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!

330 ml bottle, from the grocery store in Tofinis Hotel, Ayia Napa, Cyprus. ABV is 4%. Apple cider base. Pink colour, pours sparkling with a small and shortlived head. Aroma of rhubarb, custard, vanilla and artificially flavoured soda. Medium sweet flavour with the same elements, hints of citrus, apples and pears too. Fairly refreshing though. Might be better with ice.

500ml can, thanks to Danlo. Pours clear pale gold, thin white ring remaining. Sweet syrup on the nose. Taste presents sweet, syrup, with a generic artificial cider flavouring that's been used in Strongbow and the like for years. Rubbish.
