About
Downham Craft Cider was developed by Stephen Manton in 2014. Downham cider’s portfolio includes; a range of 6% alcoholic ciders, brewed using the finest apples.

Harvest starts for us in september and will run through to december. Once harvested the apples are then pressed and blended. In the spring our pure traditional cider is ready. Giving a refreshingly crisp cider.

Downham cider also produces a cider vinegar perfect for cooking or helping with your health.

BIAB sample from GBBF 2019 courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Slightly hazy pale yellow gold colour, no head and aroma of musty apple. Taste is slightly tart apple, fruity, with lots of biscuity, cardboard notes. Light bodied, low carbonation, dry light tart finish with lingering biscuit. OK, tastes abit oxidised.

Light gold, slightly cloudy with plentiful carbonation. Sharp orchard fruit aroma. Taste is intense, drying, sour, musty. Carries on to the very end of the sip. This cider is simple but has a pair of cojones the size of bowling balls.
