Option two would be a classic ‘western counties-style’ of cider. This is a cider made with specific varieties of apple that have been grown for centuries for the sole purpose of making cider. They contain large quantities of tannin, like you would get in a red wine but it’s not to the same extent of that but it does provide some mouthfeel, structure, boldness and some mouth-drying sensation called ‘astringency’. This is what people will call a quite dry cider. These are classic to Herefordshire, Somerset and Devon, and these are the apples that the likes of Westons and Thatchers use but they dilute their ciders so they’re sort of lightweight and gentle but you could have some more robust and full-bodied cider.

Sandall says: “We’re seeing three key drinks trends at the moment – people opting for premium choices and serves, the growing importance of low and no drinks and people choosing brands they trust. Ward adds: “The collaboration has shown it is possible to produce a full-bodied, alcohol-free cider and our decision to supply it on draught as an alternative format to the existing bottle options will support pubs and bars that are serious about offering genuine alcohol-free choice for customers and will do so in a sustainable way. Bringing together three new Thatchers infused premium fruit flavours in a world first for cider, this summer it’s all about the Thatchers 3 in 1 Fusion Font, the new way of serving fruit cider. It brings craft and world leading innovation together for a great tasting, premium infused cider, with the heritage and provenance of four generations of Somerset cider making from Thatchers. Saving space in the cellar and at the bar, the choice of three infused premium fruit flavoured ciders comes to the bar in one single font, with one keg and one line, meaning lower maintenance, less space and more choice. Premium ciders in particular are a natural accompaniment to meals and a good way to drive incremental sales, so think about how options such as Aspall Cyder can complement your food menu.”

Heineken acquired the rights to Strongbow in Australia from Asahi in 2020.

It can provide some of the experience of beer in terms of how it’s drunk but can also capture some of the flavour characters of wine. Cider is the ultimate thirst quencher on a warm summer’s day but it can also be so much more than that. There are so many different types and styles and flavours that can appeal to a whole range of different drinkers and this new wave of craft ciders means there’s a cider for everyone.” In 2022, a low-calorie variant, Strongbow Ultra, was introduced. The initial flavour of this variant, Dark Fruit, contained 95 calories per can, 30% fewer than the regular version of the Dark Fruit flavour. In 2023, Strongbow introduced an apple flavour to the range; the apple flavour contains 80 calories per can, 36% fewer than the Original flavour. After discussions with cider producer Crafty Nectar, the businesses made Crafty Nectar 0.5 – a Somerset cider using West Country apples that it claims is a medium-sweet, zingy cider that it believes is the first alcohol-free cider to be available to the on-trade on draught and it could fill a space in a pub operator’s fridge through its 330ml and 500ml bottles.

Yes, it could well be the Year of the Apple but that’s not to say fruit-flavoured variants will not enjoy success too. So long as it’s a year for pub operators, we’ll all be happy to have a year of almost-normal trade under our belts and, if that happens, surely there are even more better times to come in the future? In the fruit-flavoured sector, Strongbow Dark Fruit remains the market leader with 63% share, a reduction of 3.2ppts from December 2020 as new draught fruit ciders become established, including Old Mout Berries & Cherries, Cornish Rattler Berry & Stowford Press Mixed Berries. And finally, Westons says outdoor occasions have gained prominence over the past two years as outlets have invested in improving outdoor spaces. Drinkers who choose venues for their outdoor areas tend to be less sensitive to price, so there’s opportunity to grow value sales via trade-up options.The original Norman archer logo was designed by artist Barney Bubbles. The "thudding arrows" have been a signature of the brand's television advertising since the 1960s. [36] Towards the end of the advertisement, two arrows thud into a bar counter near a glass of Strongbow, or its bar pump. Previously Strongbow White was available in Australia, which had a much higher alcohol content (8.5%). It ceased production sometime after 2000. At the point of pour, the Thatchers Fusion Font infuses a micro measure of the selected fruit flavour into a pint of Thatchers premium apple cider, creating one of three freshly mixed ciders. As the cider is being dispensed through the Fusion Font it delivers a unique sensory experience of flavour and aroma. Your customers get the same expertly crafted apple cider, with a freshly-mixed infusion hitting the glass as one.
