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. A clear, golden cider with some white bubbles on top. Else flat. Quite weak on the nose, with some toffee hints. Quite pleasant flavor, but rather un-challenging, apples and a touch of toffee in the far back. Medium body, semi-sweet. Short finish. A quite decent one, but rather boring, I need more punch in my ciders. 120818

Pours a light yellow, with soft carbonation. Aromas of pears and apples. Crisp. Smooth pear and apple flavors. Nice carbonation. Almost like a mellow late harvest wine...
