Somerset Cidermaker scoops THREE Gold Awards

Harry’s Cider – a leading name in premium craft cider – is proud to announce that it has been awarded two Gold medals for each of their entries at the Taste of the West Awards, and a further Gold for their new Perry at the Somerset Cider Championships, cementing their reputation for quality, innovation and craftsmanship.

The award-winning ciders include:

  • Harry’s Sweet ‘No.8’ Traditional Cider – Gold, TOTW.
  • Harry’s Medium ‘Corker’ Traditional Cider – Gold, TOTW.
  • Harry’s Premium Sparkling Perry – Gold, Somerset Cider Championships.

Head Cidermaker Toby Fry says “These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We strive to create ciders that reflect both tradition and creativity, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see our efforts recognised at one of the oldest Cider Championships in the Country.”
.
Each of the winning ciders showcases a unique blend of farm-pressed Cider apples and Perry pears, and expert fermentation techniques that highlight the rich flavours and aromas cider lovers crave. The competitions—renowned for attracting the best cider makers from across the South-West of England —feature blind tastings by expert judges, making these gold medals and class winning a significant honour.

Harry’s Perry has been carefully developed over several years and was launched earlier this year as a limited-edition premium addition to the Harry’s Cider range. It is only available from the cider shop and taproom in Long Sutton, alongside their full range of craft ciders, locally sourced beer, wine and gifts. Opening times are 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday, with the taproom offering visitors a chance to enjoy a coffee with cake, or a drink with snacks with views over the adjacent cider apple orchard.

These awards signify a wonderful reward for the Harry’s Cider team, following the opening of their new cider shop and taproom in April, and a busy summer of Cider Saturday and Friday Pizza Night events – more details at harryscidercompany.co.uk.
