Cider Tasting with Against the Grain Cidery

Cider is an under-appreciated, deeply British drink with a vast amount of history, terroir and heritage. It is one of our oldest alcoholic beverages and the UK consumes over 40% of the world’s cider. However, in recent years it has developed a bad image – one of low quality, overly sweetened drinks which bear little resemblance to high quality ciders.

On the night, you’ll be treated to a welcome cocktail, before being taking through several cider expressions with Jono Lipfriend. Jono will display the many different styles of cider, as well as what we should look for in a good cider, all alongside an amuse-bouche to accompany the tasting.

About Against the Grain

Against The Grain Cidery is one of London’s only craft cideries – producing well blended, delicate ciders with a modern twist. Their aim is to bring high quality ciders to London and challenge perceptions on what cider is. They’ve been producing cider in London for five years now and supplying Kindred for three.

About Jono Lipfriend

Jono’s love for brewing and cider-making goes back over a decade, with three years’ experience following his passion as a qualified professional brewer.

However, his West Country roots, and the conspicuous shortage of interesting cider available in London, drove him to pack-in the grain and strike out on his own – moving into the under appreciated world of cider.
