Bristol. Cider capital of the World! And with good reason too – and so we are proud to release this case during Bristol Cider Week 2025, and part of the ‘Cider City’ celebrations.
We have put together a mighty case of 6 ciders from Bristol and immediate surrounds, celebrating the best of the City. Three of these are in the increasingly popular 440ml cans – a sign of the increased taxes on glass bottles, and the craft beer influence on marketing too, which a city like Bristol leads on. So let’s start the whistestop tour…
Barleywood ‘Bloom’ – Medium Dry 4.6%
Bastions of the Bristol Cider scene, Team Barleywood pick their fruit from the lovely old orchards just SW of the city. ‘Bloom’ is wild fermented from Morgan’s Sweet apples, for a delicious, clean crisp finish, for a really refreshing summer cider – serve chilled.
Bristol Cider Co Triple Vintage – 4.5% Medium
Marc and Jon have worked in the wine and bar trade in Bristol, so it was only natural they should start to make cider in 2017. Triple Vintage is their premium cider, made from 3 years of juice, pressed from West Country orchards, they have created a lovely, balanced and complex cider, which drinks very easily.
Branch Cider ‘Bristol Blend’ - Medium 5%
Ed stumbled on Far Orchard – an old 1,000 tree orchard from the legendary Coates family, just on the outskirts of Bristol.
‘Bristol Blend’ is his take on the classic Bristol pub cider. Rich, tannic bittersweet apples from blended with light, zingy dessert apples. Like Bristol this cider is a blend of city and country, traditional and modern. Like Bristolians, it’s easy going, but with hidden depths and complexity!
Ganley & Naish ‘High Tides’ – Medium 5%
Founded in a back garden in Totterdown, Bristol, Andy now uses the same orchards his great grandfather did those 4 generations back just South of Bristol.
‘High Tides’ is a collab between Ganley & Naish, and Devon cider royalty Sandford Orchards, as part of winning their Breakthrough Cider Maker of the Year.
Tippett’s Cider ‘Crow’ – Medium 4.8%
Hot off the press – both cider press and news press - is Tippetts Cider. Just set up by Mike, former cider maker at Barleywood (above), and friend Louis, ‘Crow’ is their first release and is a beautifully balanced cider
Bushel + Peck ‘Slow + Easy’ – Medium 6%
David produces some simply stunning wild ferment ciders, all made using unsprayed fruit from old orchards and large gardens from north of Bristol. ‘Slow + Easy’ is a just what its says – a lovely blend of cider apples and desserts, offering a balance of crisp refreshment, rich flavour and some understated astringency.
