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.

330ml bottle from Pilango online. Golden amber colour, short-lived fizzy white foam head and aroma of musty apple, fleshy. Taste is sweet, then sour, tart, apple flesh, juicy, bittersweet, with some drying apple core, and hints of caramel. Slick mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, quite a tart dry finish. OK.

On tap at Hereford Beer House, Saturday 16th February 2019 in the company of Dad, Pauline, Jude and Baz. Pours lovely clear gold with a white head. It's medium but with a nice dryness at the finish. Lovely appley tang throughout, lots of flavour. Great and good return to cider for me as I have rather neglected it for a while.
