Kev's guide to alcohol-free cider

Cider is the drink of every Yorkshire summer that lasted exactly one afternoon. Out comes the sun, out come the glasses, over comes the cloud from the Chevin. Alcohol-free cider means you can make the most of that afternoon and still mow the lawn after. Fair warning: the range here is small. Two ciders and a mixed box. I'd rather stock two good ones than ten that taste like apple squash.

How to choose

Strength. 0.0% means no alcohol at all. In the UK, anything at 0.5% or under counts as alcohol free. We show the exact ABV on every drink. If you want 0.0% cider, Two Farmers is your one. Chance is 0.5%.

Style. Two Farmers is medium dry, sweetened only with apple juice. Chance is crisp and clean with a light sparkle.

Kev's picks

  • Chance Clean Apple Cider. Worcestershire apples, starting life as an award-winning 8.2% cider before being brought down to 0.5%. Citrus, pineapple, a little woodiness. 53 calories, vegan and coeliac suitable. Serve it cold.
  • Two Farmers 0.0% Medium Dry. Herefordshire apples, cold filtered, no added sugar. Naturally sweet, a bit tart. 79 calories per can.

There's also a Mixed Cider Bundle of six cans from independent makers, and we change the mix as new ciders land. Mix any 6 drinks for 5% off, 12 for 10% or 24 for 15%, and it comes off automatically. Build a box with cider and something from fruit and sour, or try before you buy at the Otley Taproom.

Good questions

Is there a 0.0% cider?

Yes. Two Farmers Medium Dry is 0.0%, made with Herefordshire apples and no added sugar. 0.0% means no alcohol at all. In the UK, anything at 0.5% or under counts as alcohol free. We show the exact ABV on every drink. Chance Clean is 0.5%. Our zero collection has every 0.0% drink we sell.

How is alcohol-free cider made?

Usually it's made as a normal cider first, then the alcohol is taken out, so the apple flavour has a chance to develop. Chance start with an award-winning 8.2% cider and carefully bring it down to 0.5%. Two Farmers use cold filtration to gently take the alcohol out while keeping the flavour in. Different methods, both a lot more effort than adding water to apple juice.

Is alcohol-free cider gluten free?

Apples don't contain gluten, but always check the label, because some ciders are made or packed alongside beer. Both of our single ciders are gluten free. Chance Clean is also labelled coeliac suitable and vegan, and Two Farmers is vegan and gluten free. If you're coeliac, read the details on each product page before you order.

Is alcohol-free cider sweet?

It varies, just like regular cider. Two Farmers is medium dry with no added sugar, sweetened only with apple juice, so it's naturally sweet and a bit tart. Chance Clean is crisper, with citrus, pineapple and a little woodiness, and comes in at 53 calories. If you like a properly dry cider, the mixed bundle is picked to include one.

What is the British Cider Triangle?

It's the nickname for the cider heartland of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, where a lot of Britain's best cider apples grow. Both of our ciders come from there. Chance use Dabinett, Michelin, Vicky and Fiona apples from the Triangle, and Two Farmers use local Herefordshire apples. Yorkshire has many fine qualities. Cider orchards on that scale isn't one of them.
