UK Cider

UK cider is a traditional fermented beverage made primarily from apples, steeped in centuries of regional craftsmanship. It ranges from dry to sweet and can be still or sparkling. The UK has a rich cider heritage, with regional varieties like Somerset and Herefordshire renowned for their distinctive flavors. Cider production involves crushing apples, fermenting the juice with yeast, and sometimes aging to develop complexity. It often features a balanced acidity, fruitiness, and often a subtle alcohol content. Appreciated both as a refreshing drink and a cultural staple, UK cider reflects local apple varieties and brewing techniques, celebrating England’s orchard traditions.
