🌟 This year’s cider stars: 🌟
Thatchers Stan’s Big Apple (5%) – Bold, fresh, and unapologetically apple. A proper cider classic.
Westons Rosie’s Pig Rhubarb (4%) – Sweet meets tart in this rhubarb-flavoured favourite.
Lilly’s Cherries & Berries (NEW – 4%) – Bursting with juicy, fruity flavour. It’s summer in a glass.
Lilly’s Tropical (NEW – 4%) – A sun-soaked mix of tropical fruits. Think beach vibes, minus the airfare.
