It all started at the circus, (true story)! 30 years obsessing over the alchemy of apples was totally worth it! Previously known as @handmadecider

A true cider craftsman will select apples as wine maker selects grapes. Examples are the lay of the land and microclimate of the Orchards and passion and care of the fruit grower before even starting to think about anything else. #cider – at Bath, England

All of our ciders from #Delvinendcidery are suitable for #vegans and #vegatarians no added finings naturally cleared with #time.
Did you know? 🤔 NOT all ciders are vegan-friendly with some of your favourite cider brands being the worst offenders!!! SHARE with a #vegan to let them know! Don't worry @CraftyNectar to the rescue!🍏👉craftynectar.com/products/ve… #craftcider #realcider #craftnotcrap

What is craft? We could write a book on this subject (and may well just do that) but here are some other peoples ideas....
Some useful comments here on what is and what isn't craft. Unfortunately in the cider world, slapping on a trendy logo too often gets in the way of the consumer's understanding of what true craftsmanship is really about.

There is a particular catharsis in making a shitty meme. #realcider

Cider is ‘getting there’. It’s a long way behind craft beer and we shouldn’t expect to see it everywhere- yet! But there is more interest now in properly made cider than ever before! This will grow as drinkers want to know more about what they are drinking and where it comes from

Our Italdrop and White Label ciders are made using the artisanal method of 'keeving'. In short, this is a clever way to keep in natural sweetness following a long, slow and full fermentation. For some of the science read this! cider.org.uk/keeving.html #keeving #craftcider

Which is your favourite Presshead Cider? Ital Drop /eye- tal/ is a natural cider crafted from fresh English apples. Made from pure juice We use the artisan's method of keeping, which allows the natural sweetness of the apples to remain during a long natural fermentation. #keeving – at Bath, England

Just want to say that I think it's really important to retweet and follow cider focused accounts on twitter. Makers, enthusiasts, consumers, etc. The cider world is small and we are all living richer lives the better connected we get. Signal boosting other makers is my pleasure. – at Ross-on-Wye, England

Which is you it favourite Presshead Cider? Firestarter is medium dry, with citrus, aniseed notes and a long vanilla finish. These apples come from a passionate grower, with a heritage orchard. Firestarter is a celebration of taste, care and love for this orchard. #Cider – at Bath, England
