Crafting real Cider in the Heart of the Yorkshire Wolds.
The Company was established in 2015 by a group of like-minded friends, some of whom hail from the home of Cider in the West Country and found there was an abundance of apples in Yorkshire that would be perfect for making Cider.
As the Company continued to grow it became more than a cottage industry and in 2019 Jodie and Steve, two of the founding members, committed to running the company full time in order to focus on producing a real Craft Yorkshire Cider to be proud of.
They have devoted their time since taking on the company to refining the products and creating a variety of ciders to suit all tastes. All the ciders made by Colemans are naturally still and are fermented using 100% juice over a longer period to create a real cider made from real apple juice instead of the growing industry trend to use concentrates.
With a nod to being conscious of sugar content, the ciders are at least 70% lower in sugar compared to other commercial producers.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY:
As a Company we endeavour to always have as little impact on our environment as possible. We run a bottle return policy with a discount against your next purchase, we recycle all cardboard and plastics used, and we do not use any harsh chemicals in the production or cleaning process.
All our cider is made from apples sourced from either local gardens and orchards, maintaining a low journey to the production unit, or established orchards with their own high level of environmental and social responsibility.
Our apple waste, also known as Pomace, is sent to a local farm to be used as animal feed. All our ciders are Vegan, Gluten free, include no added sulphites and are 100% natural with no artificial flavours or colours.
Yorkshire Cider Range
Our first and original Yorkshire Cider range is crafted using solely locally sourced apples and pears. We have been producing these Eastern Counties style, Dry, Medium and Sweet ciders since we started in 2015. The following year we added Pear Cider to the range, made using 50% pears and 50% apples.
In 2017 we added a West Country style Special Reserve Cider, using recognised Cider varieties of apples from a local Orchard in the East Riding.
All our ciders are made over time by natural fermentation from wild and champagne yeast, without any additives or preservatives and are pasteurised to give a purer finish. They are also gluten-free, Vegan and low sugar.
Fruit Cider Range
The second range we developed is our selection of fruit ciders which started with our first batch of Rhubarb cider in 2016.
After finding a market for fruit ciders, we continued developing the range and now have a range of 5 fruit ciders which includes, Rhubarb, Damson, Elderflower, Sloe and a Rosé which is made from a variety of red berries depending on the availability and the season.
We make our fruit ciders from pure fruit cordial, made by simply steaming the fruit for a 100% natural product which is then added back to our Easter Counties style cider.
Single Variety Cider Range
Our third range, which was introduced in 2018 to develop a more refined cider, is our single variety range which is made in Yorkshire using juice which is sourced from a well known, traditional small cider apple grower in Hereford.
As a small producer ourselves we wanted to find a fellow producer who shared our ethics in wanting to maintain a non-commercial approach to producing a craft cider, made over time from real apple juice, rather than the more mainstream ciders made from sugar laden concentrates by forced fermentation.
We currently have five different single variety ciders with Dabinett, Michelin, Katy, Somerset Redstreak and Browns. Each one catering for a different palate.
