Westons \u0026amp; Sons, a deeply historic cider maker that has been fermenting apples in Much Marcle, Herefordshire, England since 1880. First created in the late 1970s specifically to meet the high-volume demand of British pubs, Stowford Press bridges the gap between ancient, rustic farm ciders and modern, hyper-refreshing draughts. It is designed to be highly approachable, clean, and endlessly sessionable. By applying Westons’ generations of expertise to a lighter, brighter format, it has become one of the most popular draught ciders across the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeer Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStowford Press pours a brilliant, pale straw-gold color with crystal-clear clarity and a lively, fast-rising carbonation that creates a bubbly white collar that quickly clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is bright, crisp, and fresh. It leads with dominant notes of ripe red dessert apples and sweet apple juice, followed by a subtle, woody undertone of traditional oak vats. It lacks the pungent, wild \"farmyard\" funk of traditional ciders, smelling entirely clean, light, and fruit-forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it is light-bodied with a brisk, refreshing effervescence. It leads with a gentle wave of juicy apple sweetness, which is quickly balanced by a mild, refreshing acidity. The finish is remarkably clean and medium-dry, leaving behind a subtle, pleasing hint of tannic apple skin that prevents the drink from feeling cloying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e It sits at a highly sessionable 4.5% ABV (though bottled versions can occasionally be found at 5.0%) and has 0 IBU. It is naturally gluten-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The consistent quality of Stowford Press relies on Westons' access to premium fruit. It is brewed using 100% local bittersweet cider apples grown within a 50-mile radius of the Herefordshire mill. The juice is fermented in temperature-controlled vessels and, unique to Westons, a portion of their cider is traditionally matured in massive, century-old oak vats. This brief oak contact rounds out the sharpest malic acids and imparts a subtle depth of character before the cider is filtered and carbonated for packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300115 - River Valley Beverage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43954736136279,"sku":"746140","price":111.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Westons-Cider-Stowford-Press-Apple-Cider.jpg?v=1781633577","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/westons-cider-stowford-press-apple-cider-500-ml-24-cans","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
