Thatchers Gold Cider, 500ml

Product Information

When you have a good smell, particles of ethanol are present, asserting their dominance and peacocking the high 7. For cider that means apples, so we are talking about specific apple varieties and knowing how they taste completely differently from one another just like with different grape varietals for wine, and different hop and malt varieties [for beer]. 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.

Aspall Cyder is ideally placed to meet this uplift in demand, with its provenance and unique east coast apple taste combining to create a unique option for consumers looking for something more sophisticated.Thatchers also maintains an exhibition orchard in which over 458 different varieties of apple tree are grown. In Spring 2019, an uplift of 22% value was seen for community pubs with gardens versus ones without with draught cider experiencing a 17% boost in sales in these outlets and packaged cider up 30%. I want to demonstrate fruit ciders don’t have to be incredibly sweet with artificial colours, flavours and aromas – you can actually use real fruits in clever quantities that marry and work with the ciders.

It’s obviously an old drink but there’s the presentation of it and we could have a bit of a movement a little bit like we have seen with craft beer. Yes, it can be the summer thirst-quencher but can also be that really refreshing drink, something to you have with a meal, something that you can ‘pop’ when celebrating, one to sit and savour, as examples. The scores I’ve given are more internal to the Thatchers range rather than the scoring I normally use outside of content like this. According to the recently released Westons Cider Report 2022​, which has been compiled largely in conjunction with data experts CGA, Kantar Worldpanel and IRi, apple variants are leading the way for on-trade cider sales as they regain ground lost throughout the pandemic and move towards pre-pandemic levels.However, food products are constantly being improved so their ingredients and the other information we publish here, including details of their nutritional content and allergy advice, is liable to change. Compared to the typical alcohol drinkers, cider drinkers are more likely to be value-led and health conscious. It’s brilliant with cheese (particularly blue), great with good old fish and chips, and surprisingly good with desserts. However, Claypole, adds that the clamour to see friends and loved ones this summer could drive a trend for sharing options in the on-trade as pub goers seek to maximise time spent socialising, rather than trying to get the attention of staff.

His son Stanley Thatcher, born in 1910, began selling draught cider to pubs in Somerset and the company's presence in the area grew. The Ciderologist Cook summarises: “Pubs are missing out on an opportunity to capture a new type of drinker and a new experience that craft cider can provide. Well, according to the seventh annual Westons Cider Report 2020​, fruit-flavoured ciders have fallen out of favour for many on-trade cider drinkers. Westons said: “The year of the apple is upon us and it is premium and crafted apple ciders that will be the driving forces for growth in 2022, as on-trade outlets ready themselves for a continued rebalancing of value and volume sales, which will swing further in their favour over the next 12 months. We’d suggest maintaining top sellers on draught, such as a mainstream apple cider and a mainstream fruit cider, then add variety and interest with bottled products from the fridge, which can be more easily rotated and offer venues a longer use by date,” Fryday says.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Limited prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. To help outlets make the most of this opportunity, we expanded our premium offering further last year when Sharp’s Brewery collaborated with the Aspall Cyder House to launch Sharp’s Cold River Cider – a 4. Combined, these products command between 36p and 97p more per pint than their mainstream counterparts, so they offer outlets an opportunity to drive value sales via trade-ups. 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. In much the same way that we say beer taste change at the start of the craft beer revolution we see the same interest in ciders from curios consumers,” he says.
