Summers' Cider and Perry

Description

Rodney Summers has been making scrumpy and perry since 1982, which may make him sound like a relative newcomer. But don't be fooled - Rodney's experience in the world of cider goes back much longer: for years he supplied apples to other cidermakers such as the legendary Coates of Nailsea and latterly, Bulmers, before deciding to go it alone.

He uses 100% traditional cider apples and his product varies according to the year. His cider is available in dry or medium. But perhaps he is better known for his CAMRA award-winning perry. This is excellent and highly recommended. It again varies according to the season and is normally medium-dry to dry.
