A CRAFT cider festival is coming to Taunton’s Wetherspoons, boasting a bounty of locally produced and affordable ciders to sample.
The Perkin Warbeck, on East Street in Taunton, is hosting the 10-day festival from Friday 24 May to Sunday 2 June inclusive.
There will be a selection of up to 15 craft ciders on sale from producers across the southwest region and beyond. The ciders will cost £2.99 a pint.
On the line up is Muddy Scamp (Purbeck Cider), Perrylicious (Weymouth Cider), Chilli Ginger (Cockeyed Cider), Moonshine Rum & Raisin (Broadoak Cider), Tequila Sunrise (Celtic Marches), Slack-Ma-Girdle Cider (Hecks Cider), Scrummage (Harry’s Cider), and Rosie’s Pig (Westons).
Cider lovers can expect the unexpected, with flavours including rum, raisin, pineapple, coconut and tequila.
Pub manager Mark Bouchier said: ‘The festival is a celebration of craft cider.
‘It will offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy a selection of craft ciders not usually available in the pub, and at the same time support the individual cider producers.’
Ciders will be available to order at the bar, or using the Wetherspoons app as normal. The pub will have tasting notes available.
