In Ireland, cider is a genuine speciality, treated with the same attention as beer or whiskey! Ireland has a long and proud history with artisanal cider, dating back many centuries. True symbols of the country, they reflect its unique culture. Whether it’s sweet and light or dry and bitter, you’re sure to find something you like. Ireland’s ciders are among the best in the world: another reason not to miss out!

History of Irish cider

An ancestral beverage that has lost none of its nobility

Cider has been part of Irish culture for thousands of years. The first traces of cider-making in Ireland are thought to date back to Roman times!

Since then, cider has been part of Irish life, evolving over the years while remaining true to its roots.

In Ireland, traditional cider-making has enjoyed a revival in recent years. This has resulted in an increase in the production of traditional Irish ciders as well as a variety of modern craft ciders. This has given rise to numerous cideries, ready to amaze you with their mastery and love of apples.

Traditional Irish cider

Fruity flavours with a strong character!

Traditional Irish cider is made from home-grown apples. There are a few different varieties of apple that are most often used. These are generally sweeter and fuller-bodied than their counterparts around the world.

Irish cider is generally light and crisp, with a clean, refreshing finish.

Where to find Irish cider

Irish ciders are available in most of the country’s major supermarkets. You can also find them in local bars and pubs.

You can also look out for special bottles of cider that are marketed for certain occasions, such as St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and Christmas.
