Sample the UK’s top ciders alongside a delicious cheeseboard, explore local markets, and leave with a goodie bag, including a takeaway glass and drinks voucher.

About

Join Hiver for a fascinating and delectable exploration into all things cider. How did the ‘humble apple’ go from the foothills of Asia to the bellies of the British? How did this fermented apple juice become the drink of choice of the Roman Empire? What’s the difference between apple wine and cider, or is it all a matter of opinion? What makes cider sweet or dry?

You’ll learn this and much more in Hiver’s Cider Tasting, located on the Bermondsey Beer Mile, in the heart of London’s craft drinks scene. As you sample our top 5 pick of the UK’s best ciders and cideries, you’ll discover the different styles, the history and the process of how it goes from pip to pint.

Make a day of it, exploring the area, sampling food from nearby Maltby Street Market, and relaxing in the Taproom. You’ll leave with a newfound appreciation of Britain’s oldest bev, plus a goodie bag including seeds for bees, a glass to takeaway and a drinks voucher to enjoy in our Taproom.
