A dry, crisp cider, full of body and flavour.
The Foxwhelp apple is one of the oldest recrded varieties of cider apple, dating back over 300 years. It is thought to have originated on the Herefordshire Gloucestershire borders, where it remains as popular today with commercial and traditional cider makers alike. The trees grow to a good height, bearing apples which are good for blending with the lesser varieties. However, it is best kept as a single variety, which produces a dry, crisp cider, full of body and flavour.
Tasting Notes
Made from from French variety apples, the juice ferments quickly, producing a pleasant, medium cider.
The Norman Cider apple, as the name suggests, was imported from Normandy in France. There are half a dozen varieties of the same name, which vary in size and shape, but many of them share the same flavour. The trees are commonly found in Herefordshire and the bordering counties, as well as in the South of England. The apple is popular with traditional cider makers because the juice ferments quickly, producing pleasant, medium cider with lots of apple flavour.
Tasting Notes
A dry, still cider, made from a blend of old varieties of cider apples - but not from rats!
The juice is left to ferment and mature in oak barrels, which has been the way of real cider making for centuries. Old Rats Tale cider takes its name from the old story that farmers used to add rats to the fermenting juice to give it extra flavour and body! Don't worry… this cider does not contain any!
Tasting Notes
A lovely medium perry from Herefordshire. It is made from a blend of varieties of perry pears, harvested from local farms and their own orchards.
Squeal Pig is an old Herefordian term used in taverns, they requested a pint of squeal. The legend is that squeal pig was the sound made after drinking it. Fear not, this is not a three-man drink, just a name to remember the good old days by!
In late Autumn the apples are milled and pressed to extract their golden juice, which is then laid down over the winter months in 100 gallon oak vats. in the following spring the cider maker taps and samples each vat and then, only when judged to be ready, does he rack it off into bottles or barrels.

Tasting Notes
This 4.2%abv “all-malt” Czech-style Pilsner uses soft water and the noble Bohemian Saaz hop to deliver a peppery aroma and a dry finish. Long conditioning at low temperature (“lagering”) produces the beer’s smoothness and a natural carbonation that makes it easy to drink, especially with food.
