THE COTSWOLD CIDER COMPANY LTD

Company description

We craft a range of natural, innovative ciders that are different because of their authentic full flavours and quirky contemporary designs that give them lots of playful personality and crowd-pleasing character. The emphasis is on the natural flavours of our bittersweet cider apples, so it is important we use the right ingredients and not to rush the fermentation or maturation processes. We only ever ferment from 100% cider apple juice sourced from around our region - we don't use apple concentrates, nor add sugar or increase temperature at fermentation, or any artificial process that might affect the fresh full flavours of our apples. The result is a rare full-bodied richness that remains true to our apples and has an integrity of flavour. We aim to broaden the appeal of natural real cider and make drinks that can appreciated over a whole evening by a wide range of people, so we avoid unnecessarily high alcoholic drinks. The playful personalities come from the names and designs we use on our ciders, so bottled products are NoBrainer, SideBurns, SweetCheeks and BlowHorn. They all come in 330ml as well as 500ml bottles and have a strong stand-out appeal both on shop shelves and in bars. We also have a range of draught ciders with colourful names and expressions too - YellowHammer, Muscle Mary, She Devil, Freak Show and Voodoo Pulp. All the ciders provide bar owners with a different and appealing cider offer to their customers who recognise the original and distinctive expressions of the flavours and stylish, characterful designs. We supply to national bar chains like Brewdog, BrewHouse and Kitchen etc and exclusive London restaurants like The Hawksmoor Group, Dishoom Restaurant, and Harvey Nichols. We also export to Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden etc. We are happy to provide more information as required - please see our full company presentation on our website at www.cotswoldciderco.com
