We have captured summer in a bottle with our Cider with Raspberry. It’s light and refreshing with not an artificial flavour in sight. Blended at home on the farm using a light, but traditional cider apple blend and pure raspberry juice, you will still know you are drinking cider. Not too sweet, and with a manageable ABV, this is perfect for a summer’s day. Like all of our ciders it has been fermented and matured naturally. For over 200 years the skill and craftsmanship of classic Somerset cider-making has been passed down through six generations of Sheppys.

Testimonial from the Cider Expert Susanna Forbes, Little Pomona Orchard & Cidery, author, The Cider Insider

“School of Booze courses written by Jane Peyton are fascinating as well as educational. The world of cider is multi-layered and relatively unknown, so it pays to join a trusted guide. And Jane, Britain’s first accredited Pommelier knows her apples and pears. Good examples, clear descriptions, and nifty comparisons throughout enable the newcomer to understand the basics of cider and perry, alongside a Glossary which is as far-reaching as it is illuminating. Taking matters further, Cider & Food Matching contains the best food pairing exposition I’ve seen. Cider Taste-Along is full of useful pointers to enable anyone and everyone to better appreciate cider and perry, plus a curated list of over 80 of the world’s leading cider and perry producers. One for those who wish to further their knowledge in the company of one of the nation’s most entertaining cider educationalists.”

A rhubarb and apple cider. This is a flavoured cider on the sour side. The taste is clean and tart with a delicate fruity aroma. Made with dessert apples and fresh pressed rhubarb, which are sourced directly from British farmers and made in London. A recent rebrand saw Umbrella London shed their former ‘Brewing’ moniker upon the launch of their Sparkling Apple and Rhubarb Ciders, with more flavours imminent. Using Dabinett and Cox apples from British farmers, their sparkling apple cider is fresh, fruity, refreshing and light, available on draught and in cans alongside the latest addition to the Umbrella London line-up – a 4% clean and tart Rhubarb Cider made using dessert apples and fresh pressed rhubarb with a delicate fruity aroma and a pale rosé hue.   Sitting alongside their Ginger Beer, Apple Cider, Gooseberry Cider, and Teeling Irish Whiskey Finished Ginger Beer, the new Gooseberry edition brings the Umbrella London portfolio to a family of five – all either canned or bottled, all best enjoyed cold.
