Our Ciders
New Season Porker is a young medium cider naturally made using three varieties of apple grown within sight of Ely Cathedral. You can't enjoy it like this for long - A fast fermentation captures the natural flavours and aromas of the fruit giving a fresh young appley cider. In the New Year, New Season Porker will change; we must then wait for the illusive malolactic fermentation in the Spring to give us Porker´s Snout, a more mature cider. Porker´s Snout is a medium cider naturally made without any chemical additives using five varieties of apple all grown within sight of Ely Cathedral. A slow and cool fermentation retains the natural flavours and aromas of the fruit giving a rich appley cider. Soft tannins and just a little natural acidity make Porker´s Snout a cider for both beginners and seasoned cider drinkers to enjoy. Old Spot is a traditional medium dry farmhouse cider. It is naturally made, without the use of any chemical additives, from three varieties of apple all grown in the Fenlands. A fast initial fermentation gives the cider its firm, tannic and mildly acidic taste. Old Spot is generally preferred by seasoned cider drinkers. Sweet Little Pig is a fruity sweet cider with a full flavour of whole apples provided by a high proportion of Cox apples in the blend. We don't make this cider often so enjoy it cool for a refreshing summer treat. Like all our ciders' Sweet Little Pig is naturally made without any chemical additives. King Charles' Oak is a specially blended cider only available at the 35th Cambridge Beer Festival. Four varieties of old fashioned English apples, grown in ancient orchards in Wilburton and Haddenham, are used to make 'King Charles' Oak'. The old trees bear small intensely flavoured, low nutrient apples which ferment slowly to give a rich and fruity cider. A small amount of highly tannic wild crab apple cider is added to release the apple aroma and give it a full body. 6.0 % abv.
