Addlestones

The Perfect Partner To Gastropub Food

Addlestones - the premium cloudy cider - is delighted to be sponsoring the PubChef Top 30 Gastropub Awards for the second year in a row.The secret to Addlestones' full-bodied taste is a unique recipe, which uses only English cider apples and a double fermentation process. Blended by expert cider makers at Gaymer Cider Company, in Somerset, the cider takes on its signature rich, natural, cloudy quality due to natural yeast and apple extracts which are kept in the cider during the crafting process.

Bottle or draught, your customers will savour their first taste of Addlestones, and its bittersweet apple fruit flavours and smooth liquid will bring out the best in rich and hearty gastropub dishes.

Addlestones has a 5% ABV. For information about stocking Addlestones, bottle or draught, call 0845 1309914.
