He says if the food served at your pub is light, which would include fish, seafood or salads, you could serve an eastern counties-style cider while if the food is more robust, for example using meat, then a western counties-style cider would pair well but he stresses there are no hard and fast rules so try to keep it playful and experimental. They could be of the exact same level of sweetness but they will taste completely differently because the apples that have been used are completely different. And something I’m very keen to try to make the trade and consumer understand is that it’s not just about dry, medium, sweet, it’s about what type of cider is underneath there.

Supplied in 30-litre key kegs, the 0.5% ABV cider “provides the option for anyone who is not drinking alcohol to enjoy a fresh, crisp and tasty cider that is dispensed on the bar, creating theatre and anticipation as the sparkling, golden liquid hits the glass”. Following the explosion of alcohol-free beers into the market it became inevitable the next innovation was likely to be a premium alcohol-free cider,” says Tom Ward, founder and chief executive of alcohol-free drinks retailer Wise Bartender.In the fruit-flavoured sector, Strongbow Dark Fruit remains the market leader with 63% share, a reduction of 3.2ppts from December 2020 as new draught fruit ciders become established, including Old Mout Berries & Cherries, Cornish Rattler Berry & Stowford Press Mixed Berries. Cider consumers are predominantly younger, visit pubs, bars and restaurants more frequently, and spend more on food and drink per month than the average British consumer so that is set to be the case still in 2022. So, is this the cider for you? Well, that depends on what kind of cider you like. If you’re a traditional farm cider buff, this will be too sweet for you and you’d be better off with, say, Sheppy’s or Hogan’s. If on the other hand, you’re one of the many drinkers who’ve helped ensure a boom in fruity medium and sweet ciders, this one may be just what you’re looking for. It’s also less sweet than Kopparberg’s low-ABV offerings, which may suit those who prefer medium cider to sweet. Meanwhile, premiumisation continues to reign supreme and in 2021 share continued to move from mainstream to more premium brands (47.8% up from 44.4% in 2019).

However, some 79% of cider drinkers are very quality-led, highlighting the importance of good-quality cider and communicating this to consumers. Compared to the typical alcohol drinkers, cider drinkers are more likely to be value-led and health conscious. While quality must not be compromised, it’s important for cider brands to be ensure they are considered good value for money, according to Lumina. Additionally, since cider drinkers are more likely to be health conscious, there is scope for more ‘healthy’ low-calorie cider options. 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.” Bentley also says the full-bodied Aspall Imperial Cyder is a perfect foil to rich dishes like lamb, pheasant and casseroles, as well as strong cheeses including Brie, Blue Stilton and Stinking Bishop and Aspall Organic’s earthy, rustic qualities make it an ideal accompaniment to Moroccan and Asian foods. Premiumisation remains a driving force with consumers drinking less but better quality. Cider volume is expected to recover in 2022 to near 2019 levels with value growth predicted for both on and off-trade channels. Strongbow Sirrus (5%ABV), was launched in summer 2005 to compete with C&C's Magners Irish Cider. Sirrus was formulated as a 'smooth' cider designed to be poured over ice, and was only available in bottles; it has since been discontinued.

This is a cider made with specific varieties of apple that have been grown for centuries for the sole purpose of making cider. They contain large quantities of tannin, like you would get in a red wine but it’s not to the same extent of that but it does provide some mouthfeel, structure, boldness and some mouth-drying sensation called ‘astringency’. This is what people will call a quite dry cider. These are classic to Herefordshire, Somerset and Devon, and these are the apples that the likes of Westons and Thatchers use but they dilute their ciders so they’re sort of lightweight and gentle but you could have some more robust and full-bodied cider. Sandall says: “We’re seeing three key drinks trends at the moment – people opting for premium choices and serves, the growing importance of low and no drinks and people choosing brands they trust. Cider over-indexes during outdoor drinking and sport watching occasions,” explains Darryl Hinksman, Head of Business Development at Westons Cider. After discussions with cider producer Crafty Nectar, the businesses made Crafty Nectar 0.5 – a Somerset cider using West Country apples that it claims is a medium-sweet, zingy cider that it believes is the first alcohol-free cider to be available to the on-trade on draught and it could fill a space in a pub operator’s fridge through its 330ml and 500ml bottles.

Cook explains that because cider possesses characters found in wines such as acid, tannins, fruitiness and sweetness, food pairing is a great way to present cider.
