Seeing a lot of love from growers for this epic apple lately: Ashmead's Kernel. It's great to grow, eat and juice. But what about c***r? Well I think it's brilliant for c***r too. I've had outstanding c***rs with Ashmead's Kernel from all around the US, from producers like ***r, but it's rarer to find here it feels. It looks like wonderful producers and ***r are doing it, who else is in for the party?!?

Ashmead's Kernel - super floral, juicy, drinkable c***r with a full bodied flavour. My current favourite of our 500ml SV range.

Autumn C***r 2024-2025 is the latest release in our ongoing seasonal series. An off dry bottling of Kingston Black, Major and Yarlington Mill. A blend of five individually fermented c***rs made across two seasons. We're really proud of this one and love how completely it captures the essence of the apple harvest for us. Try it alongside the Summer C***r and the Winter C***r for a whistlestop tour through the seasons!

Pomona Tasting! 🍎 TODAY! Saturday 10th October.

Come and meet Pomona Award Winners Albert Johnson and at Yew Tree Inn Peterstow for a single variety tasting like no other! £15 on the door, with a 4.00pm start.

We'll be exploring the principles of single variety c***rmaking and comparing expressions of terroir from different producers by tasting their c***rs made from the same variety but from different parts of the country.

It's a relaxed and hopefully conversation filled tasting, where we hope to draw some varietal tasting notes to contribute to ourpomona.org

It's a fabulous year for pears. The hot sunny weather creates brilliant sugar levels in the fruit and the excellent deep roots of a pear tree help the tree thrive even in drought conditions. We were proud to be able to speak to Tom Jeffreys at The Telegraph in more detail about perry pears, growing them, and making perry from them. 🍐

Perry is itself a whole world with as much complexity, mystery and flavours as c***r, or indeed w**e or b**r. 🍎 Yet it is so difficult to find due to the impracticalities of producing it and the not insignificant challenges of growing the pears. You can take your first steps into the world of perry by heading to our webshop where we have put together a selection box of the best of our range. 🥂

Discover perry in person at the UK's only Perry Festival in just two weeks time at the Malvern Autumn Show Malvern Shows. 🌳

Big thanks to Mark Hopper of the NACM for connecting Tom to us and sharing the news about the quality of pears this year.

Ross C***r Festival 2026! 🥳🪅🪩 After so much preparation, we can't believe it's all over. It was such an amazing weekend, thank you so much to everyone who came along and made it so fun. Most importantly, thank you to our wonderful team of volunteers who make it all happen. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️ It's hard to sum up the weekend in only 20 photos, but here are a few that we love!

Not only did we have lots of c***r fun, we raised money for charity too! Through guessing the weight of the massive pumpkin and the rare apple juice auction, you guys raised £135 for Cancer Research UK!

A massive thank you goes to the brilliant c***rmakers, musicians, food vendors and craft stallholders who dedicated their time to making our festival a success. 💛

Ross C***r Fest 2027 dates will be announced soon, so keep your eyes peeled! 👀

We have just dropped all the c***r and perry released at the festival on our online shop, including a special mixed case. You know what to do! 🏃
