International beer
As usual, numerous old favourites will abound, but we also continually try to find new beers, new breweries and indeed new countries to represent.
More information is available on our guide to international beer.
Cider, perry and apple juice
Real cider is a long-established traditional drink that is produced naturally from apples and is neither carbonated nor pasteurised. We have a range of ciders and perries – around 60 have been ordered. There’s a focus on producers in our area, but we have plenty from further afield.
More information is available on our guide to real cider and perry.
