Marlbrough, across all varieties, have produced in the region of 126m less bottles of wine than average
“New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - 86”
INN EXPRESS INDEPENDENT DRINKS DISTRIBUTOR
NZ SB 86
New Zealand, the world’s second largest producer of Sauvignon Blanc after France, may not be able to meet global demand in 2021 due to “an exceptionally small harvest.” Check out our amazing alternatives
A
s we long for customers to sit in our restaurants, pubs & bars with their favourite glass of plonk, it is sometimes easy to forget that wine is a natural product. Farmers are out there in fields submitting their lives to the fickle will of nature to bring us the best wines they can. Sometimes nature reminds us of just how fragile everything is. Last year New Zealand, & more specifically Marlborough, saw a very early bud break followed by a brutal set of spring frosts & then near-drought conditions during the summer. Rainfall was 31% of usual December to March totals. This has resulted in a 30-40% drop in yields compared to expected. To put this into some kind of number: it means that the region as a whole, across all varieties, have produced somewhere in the region of 126 million fewer bottles of wine than average. What was left, however, was of outstanding quality, we are delighted to say!

TRY THESE WORTHY REPL ACEMENTS So Marlborough Sauvignon will be short this year, but don’t despair as there is a whole world of Sauvignon out there awaiting your taste buds! Here are a few picks from the portfolio that will most certainly fit the bill
IONA SOPHIE TEBLANCHE SAUVIGNON BLANC
LOS ESPINOS SAUVIGNON BLANC

ESPINOS Y CARDOS, CENTRAL VALLEY, CHILE
ELGIN, SOUTH AFRICA
This lively little single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is
Floral & complex medley of tropical fruits with lime &
bursting with vibrant, zesty citrus fruit & a hint of exotic
gooseberry. The palate is balanced & rich, with green
guava. Hugely refreshing, this crisp & aromatic wine is
apples & great minerality & texture. Sophie te’Blanche
endlessly quaffable. Soft, super-juicy, ripe fruit & a long
is a nickname given by those inc the vineyard workers,
full-flavoured finish
Well, the likelihood is that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is going to be in very short supply this year, & what there is will see a pretty huge price rise. So with the nations favourite Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in short supply, what else might step up to the plate & become the volume choice for the consumer? Well, there are happily plenty of options that have been overlooked for the decade or so that NZ Sauvignon has been at the top. South Africa has been making world-class Sauvignon Blancs for years, & the quality has only got better over the last few years. The cool climate vineyards of Elgin tend to produce Sauvignons showing crisp green apple, gooseberry & tropical notes, to the warmer climates of Stellenbosch & Paarl, which produce rich & full-bodied sauvignons, you really can get any style you like. For my money, the best are from Elgin. Imagine Elgin
like an elevated bowl between 400 & 600m altitude. It is by far & away from South Africa’s coolest region, with harvest taking place 6-8 weeks after the warmer low lying regions. The resulting wines are thrilling, elegant, & delightful! Chile also makes world-class Sauvignon Blanc. Their style tends to have a little less tropical fruit & more grassy notes with hints of white stone fruit & distinct floral tones. Look out for wines from the Casablanca Valley, but the reality is that most Chilean Sauvignons are just as insanely drinkable as New Zealand. One should never overlook France! Of course, the Loire Valley is the ancestral home of Sauvignon Blanc, & the wines are by no means as austere & minerally as they used to be. Regions like Touraine, Menetou Salon, & the world-famous Sancerre & Pouilly Fumé, which has its characteristic gunflint aroma, offer the Sauvignon Blanc lover those flavours that we love so much.

Au gu s t is Rosé Wi ne Month, so to cel ebr a t e we’ re l ook i n g at th e d if ferent sty l es of thi s perfect war m we a t h e r wi n e
Rosé has long had a reputation for being an over-sweet, back-garden BBQ wine (and what’s wrong with that?). Still, in the past few decades, winemakers have brought complexity and verve into the style, as demonstrated by how many different flavorful options you have now. Rosé wine is the ideal summer drink – it’s light, crisp, cool and refreshing. And, this summer’s (fingers crossed) warm weather provides venue operators with the perfect opportunity to boost sales of rosé.
8
As you’d expect, there are many different styles of rosé ranging through dry, sparkling and sweet, and there’s a rosé to suit all occasions. Rosé has become so popular in France it now eclipses sales of white wine! Most rosé wines are blends of multiple grapes. Some of the most common grape varieties used in dry/European-style rosé are Grenache, Sangiovese, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault, and Pinot Noir. Rosé isn’t from a specific grape or region; it’s just a genre of wine, like red or white. The
SEASONAL PORTFOLIO | SUMMER 2021
biggest producers by volume are France, Spain (where it’s “rosado”), Italy (“Rosato”), and the United States. But there are also excellent wines in more corners of the world. So, which rosés should you have on your wine list? Have a look through our best selling styles, discover that White Finfandel was actually created by accident and see how adding more rose wine to your list can help gain those valuable extra sales.
PROUDLY INDEPENDENT SINCE 2002 PROVENCE ROSÉ Provence rosé is one of the best-selling and fashionable styles of rosé. Its fruitiness and pale colour make it instantly recognisable while its fresh, crisp, dry style is a masterful match for almost any dish. Of course, Provence is the region rather than the grape so you’ll find Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre used to create this pale, pink rosé with aromas of strawberry, fresh-cut watermelon, and rosé petal, finishing with a distinctive, salty minerality on the palate. But Provence style rosé doesn’t always have to come from Provence… New York-based Charles Bieler is one of America’s rosé pioneers and started making rosé with his father Phillippe at his Provence chateau. He then took this expertise back to the states where he’s joined forces with Washington winemaker Charles Smith. Working together the Charles & Charles range was born which includes an outstanding, limited edition Provence style rosé with an aromatic nose of raspberries and cherry.
“When I decided to try my hand at winemaking in Washington State, I knew exactly who to enlist: renowned winemaker Charles Smith,” said Charles (Bieler). “We launched our joint venture with a Washington-grown rosé, inspired by my Provençal roots, ultimately kick-starting the American rosé movement.”
WHITE ZINFANDEL Staying in America, White Zinfandel is a Californian staple and globally, the best-selling rosé wine. Most White Zinfandel is made deliberately to an ‘off-dry’ style with high residual sugar making it sweet. It offers flavours of strawberry, candyfloss, lemon and green melon with moderately high acidity. You’ll want to serve it ice cold perhaps with spicy food. However, White Zinfandel is not a grape variety but a method of processing Zinfandel grapes, which would otherwise produce a bold and spicy red wine. And, it was invented by accident. “I was trying to make white zinfandel which was really white” says winemaker Bob Trinchero, whose family owns both Sutter Home and Trinchero Family Estates. “This wine just stopped fermenting, so I figured I’d wait and it would start fermenting again. When I came back, it was pink, even though it was white when I put it in the tank. And it was slightly sweet.” TEMPRANILLO ROSADO Castillo del Moro Tempranillo Rosado is a deliciously fruity rosé with lots of tangy cherry and strawberry fruit. Castillo del Moro wines are sourced from one of the most advanced bodegas in La Mancha and they combine the traditional varieties of the region with international varieties such as Sauvignon and Syrah. Castillo del Moro represents the very best of modern Spanish winemaking but draws on a tradition that goes back centuries; the result is exceptional value for money and huge drinkability. The grapes are sourced from a mixture of trellised and bush vines in the Manzanares district of La Mancha- renowned for it’s limestone soils. The majority of the grapes are machine harvested at night in order to maintain the acidity and bright, fruit flavours.
SPARKLING ROSÉ Sales of Prosécco continue to soar so jump onto this trend through offering a sparkling rosé option. Prosécco, Cava, Champagne, etc, all have rosé options, but why not go for something different and try a sparkling Moscato? ROSÉ MOSCATO The wine is made with mostly Muscat grapes and usually a touch of Merlot or a secondary red grape to give it a ruby-pink colour. Imagine the classic Moscato flavours with a touch of strawberry. The McPherson Wine Company’s Princess Butterfly sparkling Moscato is a sure-fire beer garden hit. With a light spritz, this sweet, low alcohol wine is perfectly balanced with lovely length and simple fruit flavours. And, such a sweet wine makes a wonderful accompaniment to many foods, particularly cuisines of Southern Asia and India. PROSECCO DOC ROSÉ Prosecco DOC Rosé (aka pink Prosecco) is brand new and a pretty big deal in the wine world! There are extremely stringent regulations about which Italian sparkling wines can be categorised as Prosecco. To be called Prosecco it must be made in a particular way from grapes grown in a small area in Northern Italy. However, thanks to a change to the rules pink Prosecco is now permitted. And it’s set to be extremely popular in the UK.

PROSÉ ROSÉCCO INN EXPRESS INDEPENDENT DRINKS DISTRIBUTOR
Back in 2020, we received the exciting news that the prosecco DOC consortium (the governing body of Italy’s favourite fizz), were finally allowing the production of rosé prosecco! After what feels like a long wait, it’s finally available in the UK.
LE DOLCE COLLINE PROSECCO ROSÉ PRODUCTION The grapes are sourced from the hills above Treviso - the traditional vineyard area for Prosecco. They are softly pressed & the must is fermented in stainless steel for 15-20 days. Then the wine is blended with Pinot Nero (which is vinified as for red wine) - giving an appealing rosé colour. After blending the wine undergoes a second, temperature-controlled, fermentation in stainless steel tanks & on lees before bottling & release.
BISCARDO PROSECCO MILLESIMATO ROSÉ PRODUCTION Harvest is carried out by hand and, in order to avoid any skin or acetic fermentation, the grapes are immediately carried to the vinification cellar during the first few hours of the day. Destalking and soft pressing at controlled temperature then the must is kept in small stainless-steel tanks until fermentation is completed. The blend of the two varieties is made before the refermentation process, to increase the intensity of the aroma. Fermentation is partially interrupted trough the cold-process, and transferred into small stainless-steel tanks. Around 4 months after vinification, refermentation is allowed following the typical procedure used for spumante (in autoclaves that keep up to 6 atmospheres of pressure).
TASTING NOTES Salmon pink with a fine and persistent perlage. Intense and aromatic on the nose with hints of red currant, wild strawberry and rose petal. This is elegant, smooth and velvety on the palate with a harmonious dry finish.
FOOD MATCH TASTING NOTES The colour is an appealing pink with cherrycoloured hints. Fresh berry aromas & a fine mousse lead to redcurrant & citrus notes on the palate, balanced by bright acidity & a clean, dry finish.
FOOD MATCH Just drink for pleasure - with/without* friends & family (*as current restrictions allow)!

A delicious aperitif but also a beautiful accompaniment for fish.
What is it?
Predominantly made from the Glera grape, native to north-east Italy, this pink prosecco gets its rosy hue from adding 10-15 per cent pinot nero (aka, pinot noir). The end result is a pretty pink wine with fine, persistent bubbles.

No addiives or processing aids are used, and ‘intervennon’ in the naturally occurring fermentaaon process is kept to a minimum. As such neither fining nor ((ght) filtraaon are used. The result is a living wine with a someemes hazy appearance – wholesome and full of naturally occurring microbiology.
INTRODUCING FABRIZIO VELLA NATURAL SICILIAN WINES Harvested by hand, the yields are naturally restricted by the winds and climaac condiions on the island and average around 80 quintal per hectare. The vineyard sites are situated at an alltude of 350-450m, ensuring cooler night me temperatures which preserve crucial acidity in the grapes. Wines tend to be harvested earlier than many of their neighbours and consequently they are bright and fresh with clean fruit flavours.
FABRIZIO VELLA, BIANCO ORGANICO This natural wine has a complex nose of citrus fruit, lemon zest and citrus blossoms along with hint of tropical fruits, herbs and sweet spices. Fresh, crisp and lovely minerality on the finish.

BESPOKE DESIGN The first thing to remember about Orange wine is that is not made of oranges. The second is that it’s not really orange.
C
onfused? We turned to our friends at Lanchester Wines for some helpful guidance on what is fast becoming the trendiest shade of wine: While we’re all used to selecting a white, red or rose wine, orange wine is increasingly being talked about in the world of wine. Unlike high fashion or craft beer, things move a little slower in the wine world. Over the past decade orange wine has gone from ancient and obscure, to
insider favourite, to increasingly available. Orange wine is a type of white wine made by leaving the grape skins and seeds in contact with the juice, creating a deep orange-hued finished product. In other words, it’s like making red wine with white grapes. When making white wine, you typically remove the skin from the grapes before fermenting; with red wine, you leave the skin on. Orange wine mixes up this process by using white grapes but leaving on the skins. The result is a far richer and
more full-bodied drink than regular white wine. This is also how it gets its colour, which is much deeper than a white wine ranging from pale amber to deep orange. Most orange wines taste like a bolder, more savoury version of wines from the same white grape. Generally speaking, orange wines display mild flavours of stone fruit like peaches, tea flavours like strong oolong and an impression of honey, without actually being sweet.

DIVE INTO A WORLD O F F L AV O U R Raised in the Netherlands, Double Dutch’s twin founders, Joyce and Raissa de Haas, have a natural affinity with superlative drinks and excellent blendings. After all, they come from the birthplace of gin! Their love affair turned to frustration. While the world’s choice of spirits has continued to grow, mixers and sodas have remained bland - less of a twin, more of a shadow. Double Dutch is the result of this love affair –uniting great spirits with complementary mixers that enliven and enhance.
Double Dutch’s range of award-winning premium mixers and tonics are perfect to enhance any spirit. Each bottle is full of flavour, made using only the highest quality ingredients with no artificial flavouring, colours or preservatives. Our innovative flavour combinations are designed to complement and elevate your drinking experience, so you never drink dull.

UPCYCLING WITH LEMONAID & CHARITEA A project in cooperation with the Ghostbastlers
MAKING GOOD THINGS BETTER. What’s the idea behind Lemonaid & ChariTea? We want to make things better. We want to use organic, fair-tra-de ingredients to make great drinks that contribute to a good cause – ins-tead of manufacturing artificial, sugary concoctions that just line the pockets of huge corporations. The same goes for our other projects. Take our upcycling ideas, for example. The world already has more than enough cheap plastic tat. We prefer to craft solutions that re duce rubbish rather than producing it. We’ve joined forces
with the ingenious Ghostbastlers to design a whole world of creative and handy household items for you – items that are easier on the eye and are much more appealing than any massproduced product. Our bottles and crates have been transformed into lights, seats, soap dispensers, vases, sugar sha-kers and much more. Suitable for homes, cafés or clubs. More information available at www.lemon-aid.de/ upcycling
RESISTING OUR THROWAWAY CULTURE. Each and every bottle of Lemonaid and ChariTea helps development projects. The same goes for our upcycled vases, lights, sugar shakers, etc. For every purchase, a fixed donation is made to Lemonaid & ChariTea e. V. Perhaps you fancy buil-ding your own furniture and household

From the pioneers of premium pink spirits comes Pinkster Spritz, a new mainstream alternative for health-conscious drinkers. With reduced alcohol and lower calories, Pinkster Spritz is the perfect light, refreshing summer aperitif. Made with locally grown raspberries left over from producing Pinkster gin, it’s both naturally deliciously and sustainably sound. And thanks to Fever-Tree’s full flavoured soda range, Spritz can now be a simpler two-step mix. We recommend serving with Mexican Lime Soda and a squeeze of fresh lime. There’s two flavours:
ELDERFLOWER + RASPBERRY
RASPBERRY + HIBISCUS
Crafted with wild elderflower foraged from East Anglian hedgerows.
Infused with exotic hibiscus flowers.

The Gin and Tonic has been the Polo Players’ choice™ of refreshment for over 150 years, since the first polo match involving British Officers in 1859; hence the creation of British Polo Gin®. Made in honour of the first ever polo in England, held at the Hurlingham Club in 1869, our fourth delicious gin offering has proudly been released to coincide with the 150th anniversary of this prestigious date. Our long awaited Strawberry & Rose gin is made from our Classic Gin with added strawberry juice and rose botanicals. There are no added sugars in this gin resulting in a spectacularly aromatic gin that critically is not overpoweringly sweet, as some flavoured gins on the market tend to be. Based on the polo player with the most control and finesse, No.4; this gin really does deliver the taste of a Great British Summer. Serve with Elderflower Tonic and a slice of tangy lime for the ultimate new age G&T.

Tropical Non-Alcoholic Spirits! distilled tropical non-alcoholic spirit Caleño is a range of distilled non-alcoholic spirits inspired by the sun-drenched spirit of colombia. Caleño takes you seamlessly from day to night. Light & Zesty, a tropical and refreshing blend of Inca berry, citrus and spice botanicals, 'Light & Zesty' is made for sunny daytime socials. 'Dark & Spicy' is a warming infusion of dark tropical pineapple notes and ginger and kola nut spices for those barelegged balmy nights. Time to set your spirit free?
WHAT IS LYRE’S ? Many years in the making, Lyre’s exquisite range of lovingly crafted alcohol-free, classic spirits was born from a quest to make the impossible possible. To provide an alternative to those who don’t wish to imbibe alcohol but still wish to enjoy the mirth, merriment and social intercourse of an evening soirée or shindig. But this is not just any alternative. Every Lyre’s spirit looks, tastes and sashays around the palate just like the original. And yet, the absence of giggle juice enables revellers to remain clear-headed, of good cheer and in fine fettle to pursue whatever tickles their fancy the following day. Lyre’s – the finest range of non-alcoholic classic spirits the world has ever seen.

TROPICAL GIN
Dr Eamers’ Prescription Strength Dry Gin 50cl 57%vol, is a full bore Dry Gin. Made from the same distillation as our Traditionally Distilled Dry Gin but bottled at “proof” strength. So called as during the 1700’s-1800’s Navy ships would first douse the spirit over the gun powder to see if the gun powder still lit. If it did, it was known as “proof”, but this will only happen if the spirit is at least 57%vol.

Enjoy with your preferred mixer, lots of ice, sliced berries and a sprig of mint to garnish.
GARDEN GIN
A Citrus forward Dry Gin that is created using Lemon Thyme, giving it a citrus high notes, whilst there is a warming undertone that develops from Tellicherry Pepper. Superior smoothness and simply blended with Spring Water to retain the full essence of the Botanicals. Perfectly served with Indian Tonic and a piece of Grapefruit.
PINK GIN
Dr Eamers’ Black Gin 70cl 40%vol, celebrates the Black Country, where it is made. A double hit of Juniper makes this not only extra Dry but also naturally Black and colour changing. Distilled using 9 key Botanicals and then macerated with additional Juniper and Butterfly Pea Flower. Add Tonic Water and watch as the naturally Black Gin turns to a Reddish Pink to resemble the Black Country Sky of old.
DRY GIN
BLACK GIN

Apart from a handful of breweries, lager production mainly was left to foreign producers & either imported or made in the UK under licence, with most of it heavily marketed (and discounted) for mass consumption. Thankfully, there’s now a much more varied range of lager styles available, with many of them brewed to higher standards, helping to open up lager’s appeal to a broader audience.

Since 2005, we have devised recipes which have showcased the diversity of the style - starting with our classic ‘Premium Lager’ because we want to give people more choice, flavour, and enjoyment from their beer. Together, we want to raise the profile of UK lager. With each Cotswold Brew Co lager taking six weeks to brew from start-to-finish, including a four week ‘lagering’ process, we take the utmost care to ensure that your favourite drink tastes great from the first to the last drop. After all, we don’t want you to settle for anything less than premium.

Modern Classics Cask // Keg // Can The brewery’s collection of awards and festival wins dates back to the mid-1990’s, during which time the world beyond the four walls of the brewery has changed quite dramatically. Since the first time Rooster’s mashed in, we’ve witnessed the end of apartheid in South Africa, the opening of the Channel Tunnel and a British tennis player win a grand slam title for the first time since 1977. Coincidence? In a word... yes.
T
he year is 1993 and England have failed to qualify for the World Cup, 2 Unlimited are Top of the Pops with their dance smash ‘No Limit’, Shane Warne has bowled the ‘Ball of the Century’ and Rooster’s Brewing Co. has just hatched - forever changing the shape of beer in the UK. Originators and innovators of quality, new world pale ales, with an emphasis on flavour and aroma, Rooster’s beers start to stand out and turn heads amongst a sea of brown beer, with Yankee leading the way. Fast forward nearly 30 years, with countless awards having been won along the way – at competitions both at home and abroad – Rooster’s ethos remains the same: to consistently brew quality, easydrinking and well-balanced beers in cask, keg, and can. Famed for brewing pale ales, they also enjoy playing around with different styles and flavours along the way.
R
ooster’s offer a wide range of styles and ABV’s within their yearround selection of beers, available in cask, keg and can. Below is an example of four approachable cask beers from their core range, while they also brew the likes of Baby-Faced Assassin (a Citra IPA and winner of too many awards to keep track of!), London Thunder (a 4.2% classic porter available in cask and nitro keg), Better Late Than Never (5.9% house NEIPA), Roots. Rock. Reggae. (a pineapple and grapefruit IPA, no less!) and Go Backer (a 3.6% Vermont session IPA).
Rooster’s continues to scoop up awards, with some of their most recent successes coming in the shape of gold, silver and bronze medal wins at the 2018, 2019 and 2020 SIBA National Beer Competitions, as well as the 2017 International Brewing Awards!

Be part of a new Timothy Taylor’s journey…
• Our core business remains in cask but we recognise that there are some quality outlets that either would prefer to
offer a keg range to suit changing customers needs or do not have the cellar space throughput or staff expertise to serve cask. However they do want to serve premium, consistent beers from well-respected breweries such as ourselves. Significant investment is being made into building the Timothy Taylor’s brand and we are performing exceptionally well in cask (+12% y/e Sept ‘19 vs. a cask market down 4% )
• The style of beer particularly suits the keg format and a cooler serve for warmer weather.
Be part of a new Timothy Taylor’s journey... We will be launching our first keg ale in Spring 2020 - Hopical Storm is a 4% ABV aromatic, dry-hopped, modern pale that, while initially launched as a well-liked cask product in Summer 2019, also performed exceptionally well when we trialled it in keg at high-profile festivals and selected pubs.
Three stages of hopping to deliver aroma and flavour
Hopical Storm is brewed using whole leaf hops grown entirely in the UK. Citrusy and sessionable, it has a pleasant fruity body topped with flavours of mandarin, mango and passion fruit.
• Brewed with three stages of hopping to give depth of flavour and an aromatic nose.
• In the Copper: Whitbread Goldings Variety and Cascade • Hop Back stage: Cascade and Chinook • Dry Hopping: Jester and Ernest • Malts: Golden Promise Pale, Vienna, Munich and Caramalt • Available in 30l e kegs from March 2020
Hopical Storm in keg offers you an opportunity to profit from the growing consumer interest in craft keg ale
• Craft keg ale is in 36% year-on-year volume growth as pale ales and IPA’s enter the market.* • It is important to include craft keg ale in your range to extend the appeal to more consumers. • We are bucking the cask ale trend and performing exceptionally well. It is proven that drinkers are happy to pay more for a pint of Timothy Taylor’s cask ale given the quality of our beers and reputation.
• Research indicates that consumers are prepared to pay more per pint for craft keg than standard cask. Coupled
with the credibility of Timothy Taylor’s you can use Hopical Storm to take consumers up the premiumisation ladder, therefore enhancing your margin opportunity. *Source: GCA OPMS w/e 23/02/19 - Marston’s On Trade Report 2019

Our story…
Introducing High Sobriety, our 1% abv cider. Top Low Alcohol cider as reviewed by the Independent newspaper 2019. High by name but low by nature. This light, refreshing and gently sparkling low alcohol cider is no less authentically fresh pressed than any of our other brilliantly tasty ciders, just without the same inebriating qualities. As always, it’s the tannins that make for a deliciously moreish tipple, making this appley drop beautifully well balanced without being too sweet. ABV: 1.0% Individual pack size: 500ml Case size: 12×500ml Suitable for vegans, gluten free
We’ve won a few awards along the way – www.hoganscider.co.uk/awards
Allen Hogan started making cider when he moved to Haselor, Warwickshire and met a local eco-warrior who used his water mill to power the apple scratter and cider press. He fell in love with the whole process and enjoyed drinking the results…. Twenty years later in 2005 he decided to form Hogan’s Cider and sell cider commercially with the principle of only fermenting using locally grown cider apples or perry pears. Our English cider apples and perry pears come from the counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. We believe delicious cider and perry are born out of a combination of great raw ingredients and an honest production process. After milling and pressing our juice ferments slowly during the cold winter months. A leisurely period of maturation follows prior to skilled blending. We don't use apple or pear concentrate, nor do we add sugars prior to fermentation. Only using cider apples and perry pears means our drinks are complex and refreshing. Our ethos is to explore the potential that the cider apple can offer us. We have unashamedly taken a leaf out of the craft beer brewers’ book by using different yeast strains, (Brettanomyces in Killer Sharp), some wild yeasts, different fermentation techniques, (keeving used in French Revelation), and being selective with the addition of other complementary ingredients (Bramling Cross, Chinook and Cascade Hops in HipHop, Elderflower in Wild Elder). The result is a very diverse range with highly distinctive characteristics. Available in a range of formats, all suitable for vegans and gluten free. 50lt Sankey keg 30lt KeyKeg 12 × 500ml bottles 20lt Bag in Box 3lt Bag in Box www.hoganscider.co.uk
