Pete Brown  – The New Cider Makers

Pete Brown introduces the best of the new wave of cider makers. These new producers will finally banish the image of cider as the cheap, sugary drink that made you ill when you were a teenager. There are no pints of scrumpy here; just elegant bottles that have more I common with wine than beer. With an emphasis on blending interesting apple varieties and only using full, unpasteurised juice (some of the big brand ‘ciders’ contain less than 40% apple juice) local producers Skyborry, Little Pomona, Sobremesa, Artistraw and Ross Cider are here to blow your palate and your mind.
