Description
It is in Normandy, in the heart of Cotentin, that the cider house of La Brique has been perpetuating the cider tradition since 1953. At that time, the brick cider house was just one of the many cider houses in Cotentin. Cider is still a popular beverage and is found at the table of all Norman houses. The distribution is then very local, concentrated in the cafes of Cherbourg and the Val de Saire. Individuals come to fill their bottles thanks to the many barrels present in the cafes. In the 1990s, under the leadership of Mr. Dupont, the Cidrerie de la Brique extended its distribution to Normandy.

In 2019, Francis Dupont sells the company to François Calandot. La Cidrerie de la Brique then offers a complete range of cider products which carries in its juice all the values ​​of our terroirs and the artisanal know-how inherited from a long Norman family history. Passionate about cider, the employees of the Cidrerie de la Brique are committed to promoting our cider products throughout the Cotentin, Normandy and even the whole world.

0,75 flaske med champagnekork, og vi er i siste indre på en fin RBHD-kveld hos seremonimester Melberg: nesten helt klar gylden med flott skum. Superdelikat aroma og smak ed saftige røde epler, kanle, lær, aprikoser og sviskeplommer. Lekkert og elegant fra første til siste dråpe, og kveldens desidert beste cider.
