What’s better than crisp apples in a glass?
Back in 2004 Mike and Rohan saw the cider craze start-up in the UK, and both had a feeling cider would take off in Australia. They saw the gap in the Australian market and took the chance to fill it with a unique family recipe. This was the catalyst for our Coldstream Brewery and made it the brewery it is today!
With Coldstream Cider, there are no nasty additives, powders, or sugars, just fruit – so it’s little wonder these ciders are one of Coldstream brewery’s most popular drinks.
They support locally grown produce by buying the apples that, in the past, wouldn’t have made the supermarket cut. This isn’t just great for the brewery, but it’s been great for the local Victorian fruit growers as the cider has grown in popularity.
Not only has it built a great relationship with local orchardists, but it’s also helping minimise food waste and landfill.
Coldstream cider is like drinking crisp, Victorian apples – and that’s because you are! Coldstream ciders are made from 100% Victorian apples.
Coldstream Cider is medium-dry with a pale, straw colour.
Apples are crushed and then cold fermented with a champagne yeast. This is paramount to give the cider its clean, crisp taste. All the ciders are taste-tested for quality assurance and to check no batch is too sweet.
Coldstream Brewery apple cider is naturally gluten-free and vegan. Because locally grown fruit is used, the ciders can have a slight seasonal variation in taste.
This is part of the authentic Coldstream cider experience and why these vegan and gluten-free ciders remain the best drink on the market.
So be sure to come and find out for yourself why Coldstream apple ciders are an Aussie favourite!
