The 2023 Ugly Dog Medium Sweet Cider is a distinctive single batch creation from Big Nose and Beardy, born from a blend of juices pressed from apples harvested across six different orchards. Originally intended to provide a tannin boost to other batches, this "mongrel batch" has matured into a remarkably accessible drink.
Crafted in the eastern counties or new world style, this cider delivers a big, crisp fruitiness, balanced with a sweetness that ensures a pleasing mouthfeel. It's a complex and engaging drink, with "a little bit of everything and lots going on," making it a truly unique experience for cider enthusiasts.
Big Nose and Beardy are known for their dedication to traditional methods and a closed-loop production system. They source apples from local private gardens and orchards, hand-picking them with the help of volunteers. Their pressing process is powered by solar, water, and human energy, minimising reliance on external power. Even the apple pomace is fed to local pigs and cows, ensuring zero waste.
This commitment to sustainability extends to their packaging, with fully recyclable metal bottle caps, lightweight glass bottles, and cardboard cases. Enjoy a cider that not only tastes good but is also made with genuine care for the environment.
