Cider and perry are some of the oldest traditional drinks in Britain, produced through the fermentation of apples and pears using techniques that often sit closer to wine than beer. From still farmhouse cider and bottle-conditioned perry to wild fermentation, pét-nat-inspired cider and modern mixed culture releases, the category covers a huge range of styles shaped by fruit variety, orchard management and fermentation method.

Perry, produced from traditional perry pear varieties, has especially deep roots in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, where old orchards continue to produce some of the most distinctive and food-friendly fermented drinks in the UK. Alongside cider apples rich in tannin and acidity, these heritage fruit varieties contribute texture, structure and complexity that differ significantly from sweeter commercial cider styles.

Our range focuses on producers making characterful cider and perry with freshness, balance and individuality, from traditional West Country farmhouse cider to naturally fermented and lower-intervention styles that often appeal as much to wine drinkers as beer drinkers. Many of the producers work with spontaneous fermentation, minimal sulphur and careful orchard management to highlight fruit character and regional identity.

Expect sharp acidity, tannin, orchard fruit, funk and savoury complexity alongside beautifully food-friendly structure. Alongside classic dry cider and sparkling perry, the collection also includes bottles influenced by natural wine, lambic and mixed fermentation culture, often with pét-nat-like texture and vibrant freshness.

Whether you're looking for traditional farmhouse cider, bottle-conditioned perry or more experimental orchard fermentation, these are some of the most expressive and versatile fermented drinks being made in Britain today.
