EspañolBROTHERS CIDER
(Redirected from Brothers Pear Cider)
'Brothers Cider' is a brand of cider originating in the South West of England, but now available at music festivals and stores across the country and online.
Brothers Cider is the created and owned by four brothers, Matthew, Jonathan, Francis and Daniel Showering, hence the name.
Brothers Cider is fermented and bottled on the site of the Anglo Bavarian Brewery, this was also the first place in the UK to brew Bavarian lager style beer, this business folded in the 1940's when all things with a German link became unpopular in the UK during the 2nd World War.
The Showering brothers come from a long line of cidermakers that go back 14 generations[1]. Their forfathers business (Showerings) was perhaps best known for Babycham: it eventually became part of Taunton-Coates-Gaymer, aka Matthew Clark Taunton and now part of the Constellation Group
In 1995 Glastonbury Festival gave way to the ''Brothers Bar'' where it has now become a permanent and popular feature in the Jazz World Field.
In 2006 Glastonbury Festival had a fallow year and the Brothers bottled a batch of their Pear Cider online to meet demand from festival fans who wanted to buy it outside Glastonbury. Demand snowballed and bars and supermarkets started to stock it.
All ciders are sold by in 500ml non returnable glass bottles in bars and shops or in recyclable paper cups and plastic bottles at festivals.
In 2007, during Glastonbury Festival, Brothers Bar stopped selling the plastic bottles. There have been many rumours surrounding the decision to withdraw the bottles at such an early stage in the festival, however it is believed that the decision was made by the licence holder for the event, not Brothers Cider.
Brothers has expanded from their one site at the Glastonbury Festival to attend a number of live music events. So far the following events have been announced either on the Brothers Cider website or the websites of the live events.
★ 'Bestival
★ 'Big Chill
★ 'Glastonbury Extravaganza
