GUEST CIDERS
Kentish Pip Craftsman Cider 4.8% ABV (Kent)
Their special version of a traditional cider is an award winning blend of Kentish dessert apples and specifically grown cider apples. The result is a sublime balance of fresh apple flavour, medium dry, with complex notes and subtle bitter tannins. Recent Awards Winner of Kent Cider of the Year 2016 at The Taste of Kent Awards Great Taste Two Star Award 2016

Thistly Cross Whisky Cask Cider 6.7% ABV (East Lothian, Scotland)
The perfect marriage between Scottish methods and Scotland’s favourite craft cider. They use Glen Moray Distillery casks to give their cider it’s warming notes of oak, vanilla and honey.

Oliver’s Fine Cider Traditional Dry 6.3% ABV (Herefordshire)
A dry, still, yet fruity blend of the best bittersweet and sharp cider apples from the 2019 harvest. Cider as it is meant to be according to Tom Oliver.

Pilton Cider Labyrinth 5.9% ABV (Somerset)
The first of a series, the Minotaur blend is built around smooth Harry Masters Jersey from 2020, which delivers gentle tannins and confident maturity. To this they have layered in a young Nehou from 2021 to bring robust astringency. The blend is completed with just enough natural apple sweetness from their classic orchard blend keeved cider. Unfiltered, undiluted, cloudy, still, no sugar or artificial sweetener.

Sheppy’s Cider Farmhouse Draught - Sweet 6.0% ABV (Somerset)
Farmhouse draught is a filtered cider and has been the foundation of Sheppy’s Cider over generations. A traditional blend of cider apple varieties produces this still smooth, satisfying cider.

LOCAL BEERS
Nene Valley Brewery Release the Chimps IPA

Three Hills Brewing Saxbys & Three Hills collaboration brew plus a mystery keg

Braybrooke Beer Pilsner
