AWARD☝ and Sorry winter birthdayers...

We feel your pain

Greetings, Ciderling!

This email is dedicated to everyone whose birthday falls in November and December. The ones whose special day gets overshadowed by all the tinsely Christmas stuff. 

Ever had a birthday present in penguin wrapping paper? Or suffered the ultimate injustice that is…a JOINT Christmas and birthday gift? 

Outrageous. 

Well this one’s for you. A list of our definitely-not-at-all-festive (ahem…) and 100% For Birthdays Only gift options. 

“Accidentally” forward this email to your friends and family. Nice subtle hint. 

👀

The classic - the Bignose and Beardy Gift Hamper £52.50

A selection of everything we offer. Cider, vinegar, juice, spirit of cider and our signature Bignose and Beardy glass and mug to glug from.

The ultimate - the Sussex Foodie Hamper £99.50

For the ultimate scoffer. This hamper includes local ciders, juice, vinegar, chutney, cheeses, chocolates, biscuits and a Bignose and Beardy glass. 

The choccy one - Chocolate and Cider Pairing Box £29.95

Four ciders and four artisan chocolate bars from local producers just a couple of villages over, Rowdy and Fancy's. Based in Sussex? An apple related logo? A two-person biz? We were made to be mates. 

The cheesy one - Cider and Cheese Tasting Hamper £39.95

Move over, vino. Cider and cheese are best mates now. This hamper has four ciders and four cheeses from the local Traditional Cheese Dairy, including one made with our cider. Did you know the Traditional Cheese Dairy has a cheese vending machine? Dreams DO come true!

Or, if you want to make life especially easy for your present-buyer, tell them to get you a gift voucher. That way, you can treat yourself once all this festive gubbins is over with.

AWARD WINNER!

We are delighted to announce that our limited edition 2017 barrel aged Scraping the Barrel won a SILVER medal in the International Cider Challenge 2024. We originally released this as a special edition on February 29th 2024 only to our email and club subscribers. To celebrate the just announced win we have now made the last remaining handful of cases available in the shop.

🚜🍏 In-Cider News

Having juiced all 16 tonnes (!!!!!) of apples we collected this year, now we just sit back and chill for a year. The natural yeast on the apple skin works its magic and ferments the juice into alcoholic cider. We won’t literally be sat on our backsides, of course. We’ve got plenty to keep us busy including sorting out last year’s harvest and organising our most epic Wassail yet. 

Stay tuned for more info…
