Product Information

In America, cider is simply pressed apple juice, but once it has been fermented similar to British ciders it is then called hard cider, meaning it contains alcohol and is only sold to adults. Brothers Cider Marc Charles, Global Commercial Director, said: “There has been a sharp increase in cider sales across the off-trade category over the past few months and the industry has done a great job in rising to the challenge to satisfy demand. The flavoured cider producer saw year-on-year sales increase by 69% for the 52 weeks to June. This follows its momentum in 2019 when it was the fastest growing cider brand in the on and off-trade according to CGA and IRI, and the company, Brothers Drinks Co, was the fastest growing cider producer in the UK off-trade. Some love dry, sparkling ciders and others love the trendier flavoured ciders that come in a range of popular or nostalgic flavours, just like the Brothers Cider range that features classics like Cloudy Lemon, Rhubarb & Custard, Pink Grapefruit, Red Apple, Strawberry & Lime, Honeycomb, Marshmallow, Toffee Apple Cider, and more...

Cider is now becoming a drink for the connoisseurs, and has always been a great match with food. The broad appeal of modern cider transcends all class barriers and is a perfect mix of old cider-making practices with a modern take on flavours and blends. If you choose one of the Brothers fruity flavoured ciders, then your cider will be laced with the delicate fruit extracts used to create a brand new flavour dimension. Cider and beer taste very different to each other. Cider is made from apple juice which has its own characteristic flavour without the added bitterness from the hops. Beer derives its flavour more from the brewing process than the grains used and its some may find this less palatable than the crisp refreshment of a good cider. This year’s new variants: Red Apple, a sweeter style apple cider: Marshmallow; and Tutti Frutti; are experiencing strong sales alongside established flavours including Toffee Apple and Rhubarb and Custard. Toffee Apple is up 22.2% in value in recent months and Rhubarb and Custard 93.1% (IRI to w/e June 22, 2020).Apple Cider is naturally gluten-free and made from fermenting apple juice in a similar way to white wine, whereas beer is brewed from grains which are a source of gluten, hops and yeast. When choosing between beer or cider, for those with gluten sensitivity, Apple cider can be a better option. However, making cider is an incredibly considered process. Unlike beer making, the fermentation takes advantage of the natural sugars found in the apple. Beer relies on the conversion of starch from cereals such as barley a process that is undertaken in the brewery before the fermentation of beer. With apples the sugars are formed as the fruit ripens outside in the sunshine of the orchard. Our team at Brothers will make decisions that will determine the type of cider we create, including what kind of apples we will use. From dry and hazy farmhouse style cider, complete with the cloudiness of the apple, to light and refreshing sparkling cider in a mix of curious flavour combinations, there is no simple way to describe the taste of English cider. The mix of cider apple varieties used account for the different flavours and tones found in the finished cider. Cider can mean different things to people. So, while it can taste sweetly of apples to one person, to someone else, they enjoy drinking cider for the sharp, acidic edge that pleasantly cuts through their thirst on a hot summers day.

For fourteen generations the Brother’s Cider family has strived to make light and refreshing ciders whilst also using a variety of fruit. The family has been creating cider of many different flavours since 1658. In 1842 the Brother’s cider family opened their first pub in Shepton Mallet in Somerset. With an average of 4% ABV (alcohol by volume), each can or bottle of cider is recommended to be stored at an ambient temperature, then to be served chilled and over ice. The cider is gluten-free and the Somerset-based company assures suppliers that the cider is made using natural carbonation and also contains no artificial sweeteners or fats.Brothers Cider use a combination of apple varieties to strike the right balance of bitter and sweet. We mainly use apples from Somerset Orchards that are just a few short miles from our cider mill. The cider apple varieties we use are high in acids and tannins, including Dabinett, Yarlington Mill, Harry Masters, Somerset Redstreak, and Browns Apple.

The apple varieties we use to make our cider have special strains high in acids and tannins. They are exclusively grown for us in award winning Somerset Orchards less than 8 miles from our Cider Mill. The family regularly visit the orchards to ensure the crop is in tip top condition and is harvested to their exact desires. Cider ingredients benefit from levels of vitamin C and antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids, which gives cider its distinctive taste & colour. These compounds are also found in red wine but are mainly absent in Beers. Is cider alcoholic?
