Sharp’s Brewery has rolled out a new cider brand in UK pubs and bars, in partnership with Aspall Cyder House.
Cold River Cider combines Aspall’s expertise with Sharp’s innovative thinking to create a premium 4.5% ABV medium-dry apple cider with a light, crisp, and moreish flavour.
The team at Sharp’s has an established history of award-winning, creative collaborations, working with quality producers such as Camel Valley Vineyards and Southwestern Distillery on Camel Valley Pilsner and The Hopster Gin respectively in recent years.
James Nicholls, marketing controller for Sharp’s Brewery, said: “Last year, we journeyed up-river from our Cornish estuary home to Aspall cyder house, in Suffolk. There, after a meeting of minds between our beer sommelier, Ed Hughes, and the Aspall master cider makers, Cold River Cider was forged, fusing Aspall’s taste-making expertise with Sharp’s fresh perspectives to create this delicious new cider.
“In Cold River Cider, we have created something truly unique: a crisp and moreish, refreshing, medium-dry apple cider, flowing with a fresh approach and refreshing look, challenging the usual design conventions of traditional ciders.
“Cold River Cider will really deliver for drinkers looking for something a little different but with the exceptional quality you’d expect from Sharp’s and Aspall. I can’t wait to get out there and enjoy a pint of Cold River Cider with friends this summer.”
