THE Beard and Sabre Cider Company, Cotswolds craft cidermakers, showed Gloucestershire residents how cider is made in what was once a prime cidermaking county.
The live community pressing was held on Saturday, October 1 from 12pm to 6pm.
Food was prepared by local Bisley House Cafe Chef Judith Sales and provided by The Outside Inn Company, a local hog roast and events business.
Sauces and Jellies made from Beard and Sabre cider were available to have with the roast.
Despite the weather, more than 150 people attended, travelling by foot, car and a free shuttle bus provided by the company – stopping at Stroud Train Station, The Royal Agricultural University and the Fleece at Cirencester.
John Dalton, a local singer songwriter played a mix of covers and his own songs to start the event, followed up by 'Thee Ones' from the Five Valleys.
Landlords from Stroud's Bisley House Cafe & The Coach and Horses attended along with local brewers from Corinium Ales, Force Brewery and the family run farm shop, The Jolly Nice Cafe.
The Beard and Sabre Cider Company trade to Gloucestershire, West Oxfordshire and Bristol Free Houses and run a stall at Swindon Market Retail Outlet Centre from 10am to 5pm every Sunday.
Cider can be collected straight from the presshouse every Saturday from 12pm to 7pm.
