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 from Sainsbury’s, Plymouth. 2015 Vintage. Deeper golden coloured cider. Its strength is not overly evident although its potent apple isn’t quite as stated in its taste, but it’s still flavoursome all the same.

Pint can at Lulu’s Pizza. Initial pour has bubbly head, which fades fast, clear golden body with lazy carbonation. Aroma seems more apples than pears, as does taste. A bit more pear flavor comes in late, finishes clean. Summer quencher.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy lemon with medium carbonation. Like lemon squash. Aroma is sweet. R Whites lemonade and a little pear. Taste is cloudy lemonade throughout with some pear on the aftertaste. One for getting pissed up on.
