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!

330ml bottle from B&M Bargains, Stockton. Clear pale purple-pink colour, pink foam head and aroma of raspberry, vanilla, yogurt. Taste is sweet, raspberry, jammy, berry fruits, sugary, with vanilla and ice cream notes. Medium bodied, foamy carbonation, sweet finish. OK, very sweet and cordial-like

Brun med hvitt skum. Lukter veldig av toffee. Blir litt for mye av det gode når man kommer til smaken. Meget søt toffee smak. Eplesmaken kommer helt klart i andre rekke. Ett lite glass er nok.

330ml bottle: BB 20th March 2024. Drank at home on 2nd February 2023. Pink body, no real head worthy of the name. Sweet and actually tastes of Rhubarb and Custard!

Bottle from B&M Bargains, Todmorden. Reddish-pink and fairly bright looking. Has a sugared fruity taste. Tastes a little bit like the Rowntrees sweets that are not as fashionable now as they were in my pre-drinking years, although Rowntrees spell them slightly differently to what's on the label of this cider's bottle.
