We're thrilled to announce that the wonderful folk from Cider Buzz MCR are coming back to the brewery for a special cider and perry tasting as part of our 5th Birthday celebrations!

Dick and Cath will guide you through all spectrums of taste and flavours, showcasing what real cider & perry truly is and how exceptional and diverse it can be.

Tangy, spicy, refreshing, and fragrant; tannin rich or acidic led; cider and perry are among the most ancient alcoholic drinks.

We will start with a welcome drink, a sparkling champagne style fizz Cider to toast Happy 5th Birthday to Runaway Brewery. This will be followed by a minimum of six tastings.

First, we will contrast the flavours from Bittersweet apple varieties with those from Bittersharps.

This will be followed by an exploration of both English and International ciders and perry including some very special small batch wild ferment ‘Natural Cider’ and ‘Natural Perry’.

There will be an opportunity to sample a selected beer brewed by Runaway and compare it with a selected cider or perry.

We will finish with a British sweet dessert cider, aged in whisky casks.

Craft Cider has all the diversity of wine and the innovation of craft beer.

With so many factors affecting its taste and flavour, from the varieties of apples from which it is crafted, the soils and climate of where they are grown to the methods and techniques used in its production, there really is something for everyone.

The brewery tap will be open from 12 - 11pm if you fancy a beer + food traders and music from friends of the brewery too.
