IT'S REAL CIDER, WE JUST LIQUOR IT DOWN

No, non-alcoholic cider is not just apple juice. Instead its made using the same traditional methods of cider production using fermentation of the best British apples to create a punchy, full-flavoured, full-strength cider. We then reduce the alcohol by volume (ABV) with apple juice and spring water to our desired 0.5% ABV. 

 

0.5% ABV ISN'T ALCOHOL-FREE, IS IT?

Actually, it is. You'd be hard-pressed to find a Big Mac with less alcohol content than our cider. Alcohol is a natural occurring result when yeast breaks down sugar, think overripe bananas and kombucha. In most countries, including the UK, 0.5% ABV is considered alcohol-free because the effects on the body are minimal.

 

HOW DOES CHANCE TASTE?

We won't spend too long telling you how big on apple taste we are, this is traditional cider-making after all. Trust us on this, you'll get big fruity bursts of crisp apple, with citrus for freshness and woody notes for some depth too. We lightly sparkle CHANCE for that delightful tingle that lets you know refreshment is in hand.

 

IS NON-ALCOHOLIC CIDER GOOD FOR ME?

As a helpful option to reducing your alcohol intake, naturally, reaching for an alcohol-free cider is good for moderation but there are some other benefits to cider enjoyment too. For one, the tannins in apples and apple skins are a great source of antioxidants and Polyphenols which have been known to reduce inflammation.
