About
Paul Stephens started Newton Court Cidery back in 2000. His mum and dad still come over most days to help out with the lambing and whatever else needs fixing...

Newton Court Cider is part of an 157 acre certified organic farm with 30 acres of cider apple and perry pear orchards. We are proud to make award winning ciders and Perries using fruit from our own orchards or from friends in Herefordshire. We pick, press, ferment and bottle everything ourselves.

For us, craft cider means cider that's pressed at our farm by a master cider maker named Paul (and a few of his local friends). It means making cider out of proper apples. It means a cidery surrounded by orchards, not industrial equipment. It means people covered in mud and apple peels, not people in suits. Buying craft cider supports local business, the heritage and the countryside (find out more about on our environment page). But most of all, craft cider tastes much, much better.

Bottle at Pre-GBBF Shindig 2015. It pours clear golden amber with minimal head. The nose is soft, juicy, apple, pear, light fruity tartness and candy. The taste is crisp, juicy, tart pear, lemon sherbet, green apple and candy with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp, juicy and pretty refreshing. Very solid stuff.

4.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Draught @ Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Pours cloudy orange with a sweaty gym shoes aroma. Board says this is a Sweet cider but would put it more as a Dry. Got little in the way of sweetness or fruit with more apple pips and leaves than flesh or sugar. Plus the aroma’s a bit off-putting, certainly not my kind of stuff.
