The Bottle Kicking Cider Co

As small scale, craft cider makers, we are able to select the finest apples to make what we believe is a great tasting drink. In autumn, our cider apples are hand picked from an orchard in Gloucestershire, delivered to Hallaton, and pressed within 48 hours. High in tannin, the juice we extract is big in flavour, giving depth and complexity in the final blend. Our Leicestershire apples are naturally more acidic, giving a sharpness that beautifully balances the finished brew. The apples are washed, milled and pressed as soon as they arrive at the farm. The juice is then left to slowly ferment in a carefully controlled environment. Whilst the apples contain natural yeasts, we also use a champagne yeast to enhance the process. Show Less
