And finally, Westons says outdoor occasions have gained prominence over the past two years as outlets have invested in improving outdoor spaces. Drinkers who choose venues for their outdoor areas tend to be less sensitive to price, so there’s opportunity to grow value sales via trade-up options.

To help outlets make the most of this opportunity, we expanded our premium offering further last year when Sharp’s Brewery collaborated with the Aspall Cyder House to launch Sharp’s Cold River Cider – a 4.5% ABV medium-dry apple cider with a light, crisp, and moreish flavour.” Yes, it could well be the Year of the Apple but that’s not to say fruit-flavoured variants will not enjoy success too. So long as it’s a year for pub operators, we’ll all be happy to have a year of almost-normal trade under our belts and, if that happens, surely there are even more better times to come in the future? One gentleman who knows the cider category is The Ciderologist Gabe Cook, who is always armed with a fine moustache and bags of charm.

In the same way, wine matches well with food, cider can do the same thing. Cook explains that because cider possesses characters found in wines such as acid, tannins, fruitiness and sweetness, food pairing is a great way to present cider. Ward adds: “The collaboration has shown it is possible to produce a full-bodied, alcohol-free cider and our decision to supply it on draught as an alternative format to the existing bottle options will support pubs and bars that are serious about offering genuine alcohol-free choice for customers and will do so in a sustainable way. Thatchers are also involved in many local events and festivals including: Glastonbury Festival, Royal Bath and West Show, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta and Cambridge Folk Festival.

He explains: “What I would really like to see is people being given the opportunity to have trials with cider and for them to explore the full opportunity.

It can provide some of the experience of beer in terms of how it’s drunk but can also capture some of the flavour characters of wine. Cider is the ultimate thirst quencher on a warm summer’s day but it can also be so much more than that. There are so many different types and styles and flavours that can appeal to a whole range of different drinkers and this new wave of craft ciders means there’s a cider for everyone.” Sport is seen as a good occasion for cider sales. More people in the UK drink cider while watching sport at a pub than other types of alcohol and the same goes for a date night while a get-together with friends or family is rated as the biggest occasion to drink cider and is identical to doing so while enjoying other alcoholic drinks. Cider consumers are predominantly younger, visit pubs, bars and restaurants more frequently, and spend more on food and drink per month than the average British consumer so that is set to be the case still in 2022.

And something I’m very keen to try to make the trade and consumer understand is that it’s not just about dry, medium, sweet, it’s about what type of cider is underneath there.
