Feature Beer of The Month

- Crushed Apple Cider

Tasting Notes & ABV

Very pale colour with lots of Champagne-like, small bubbles but little head. Fresh, breezy apple and pear nose with a little sweetness on the palate and a gentle, clean finish. Quaffable stuff and quite pure and fruity. 4.5% AB.

Thanks to a combination of gravity and the great team here at Monteith's Brewery in Greymouth, Cider fans have a reason to rejoice in a new refreshing drink for summer.

Monteith's new Crushed Apple Cider is crafted from sun-ripened Nelson fruit that gravitate from the province's many thousands of apple trees before journeying to our Monteith's master brewers here in Greymouth who spend three months carefully nurturing the freshly crushed apple juice.

It may be a new development for us here at Monteith's but world-wide and in New Zealand, Cider is making a comeback.
