Brennan’s is the passion project of brothers Karl, Chris and Craig Brennan, who started pressing apples in a Crosby garage back in 2015. Today, their handcrafted ciders and perries are made in a converted farm building – Alt Cottage – on Altcar Training Camp in Hightown.

The first Pet Nat Perry from Fouçette pears, bought from a nearby farm. Aromatic and tannic - with local wine bases lees added - “kind of cool”

More Method Champagnoiserie here with a 100% quince. A dangerous move.

Refermented using the Champagne method. Not yet released. Should age improve.

Unusually for a West Counties cider maker this is made from the eating apple - Egremont Russet - clean - no wood. Boozy nose and clean acidity.

Again not fully fermented ciders- phenolic/high tanning/ low acid - Balls Bitter Sweet - risky cider - tried to retain sweetness via keeving.

Driven by the fruit and a humble approach @littlepomona.bsky.social produce fully fermented ciders .. except the bitter sharp Stoke Red - racked to off dryness (balanced with acid). Very knockbackable

A big thankyou to everyone who joined us for our bottle share last night. Cider, perry, pommeau and everything else originating from an orchard flowed liberally, with great company and wonderful surroundings.

Manchester Cider Club @manchestercider.bsky.social · Aug 15

Thanks so much for having us! 🥂

The Chisel Jersey Islay BA single variety held back for the @manchestercider.bsky.social - very characteristic - tannins and acidity vs the smoky-peatiness‘highly phenolic’

Elderflowers have been added to this blend some marginal sweetness and a tad of acetobacter. Brewed very much with food in mind - what can it fit with?
