Cider is, at it’s core, fermented apple juice. That’s about it.
What is our cider?
Here at Ascension, we ferment local eating and cooking apples, with our house yeast strain, before blending this cider with fresh apple juice, as well as a variety of fruits to create our fruited blends.
Apple cider – the juicy apple flavour in our cider comes from carefully blending fermented cider with freshly pressed apple juice to achieve the right gravity and taste.
Pear cider – NOT Perry, which is fermented pear juice…
Per is a blend of wild fermented apple cider and freshly pressed Sussex pears to create our seasonal favourite cider. Named for the legend of Aviation that is Per Lindstand, who flew hot air balloons over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and was a world record holder.
Fruited Blends – taking our signature cider and blending this with fruits from near and far. Our fruity bevs are blended to deliver the flavour, from tart sours using high acid berries and citrus, to rich sweet blends utilising stone fruits. We have something for you.
Why we make cider
We are passionate about apples and creating great cider. Unlike West Country cider, which is made with cider apples, we use the Eastern County method of utilising eating and cooking apples. We ferment these apples with our house yeast strain, to bring you clean, crisp ciders and blends.
The crew at Ascension cider believe in breaking the cider rules. We are the rebellion! Our mission is to rebel against traditional cider by creating super fruity ciders with a modern twist.
Our apple alchemy produces a fruitful, juiceful, drinkable and appleicious bevy that revolutionises cider to its very core. If you think you know cider, think again!
Bring on the Bevolution!
