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!

Bottle I picked up at some corner-store in London. Pours watery pink with not much carbonation. Soft artificial sweetener nose, sweet and stuffy. Strawberry shampoo and no kiwi in sight. Taste just cloying sweet with artificial-feeling flavours. Pretty bad.

500ml can 99p from local shop. Pale yellow colour, white foam head tgat dissipates to a thon layer and aroma of crude oil & sulphur. Taste is sweet, sugary, artificial sweeteners, with just a very slight hint of apple flavouring. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, sweet drying fruit-like finish. Quite bad.

Can from Morrisons, Elland. Clear blond cider. The previous hop cider I had was horrible, but the hops here are subtle and the apple sweetness is pleasant with a mild tangy finish. Has some light apple in its aroma.
