Are all these ciders at the festival?!
There may be some last minute alterations due to supply issues.
hi coming along saturday to sample ciders, was wondering any ciders or beers low in sugar/carbs? on a diet so don’t want to miss day if a lower calorie product on offer. thanks tracey
Hi Tracey I’ll check with our cider experts and get back to you asap.
Hi Tracey,
As a rule of thumb, the higher the ABV the greater the calories, so as we are selling a Perry at 3.8% ABV you would expect this to have about 150 calories per pint, and then our most potent 8.5% ABV to have about 250 to 300 calories per pint.
It can be difficult to decide, but best to come along have a drink or two and enjoy yourself.
See you soon
Alan
