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!

Fairly straight forward dry apple cider with a touch of cinnamon at the finish.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold. Big caramelised apple nose. Taste is sweet toffee, caramelised apple, vanilla. Sugary sweet, though not as sweet as some. Any other cider and I would've probably thrown it down the sink, but it reminds me of numerous Glastonburys drinking this by the pint in my early 20s, so I finished it.

Carton from B&M, Rochdale. Golden with a light apple aroma. It certainly has a bitterness to its apple taste, but it's not flavoursome.

Bottle. A pale yellow-golden cider, clear, with no head. The aroma reminds me of a tea shop, with a light citrus touch and some pear. It’s medium bodied and nicely carbonated, with too much sweetness for my preferences. Pear and a light citrus touch in the aroma, with tea notes and white sugar. Too much on the sweet side this one, which I think is a pity, since it’s a good idea adding hops to cider. 171020

Bottle. Close to clear in color and clear in the glass, with some white bubbles on top. Coconut and hints of citrus in the aroma. Rather sweet flavor with coconut and citrus. It’s full-bodied and sweet on the palate, with a nice carbonation level. Lasting sweet finish with coconut dominating. Too sweet this one, not good at all, and I miss the flavor of the perry. 171020

440ml can from local shop. Deep red colour, short-lived fizzy pink foam head and aroma of jammy berries, abit atificial. Taste is sweet, blackcurrants & blackberrry, with underlying apple cider and yogurty hints. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, sweet berry fruity finish. OK
