The brew is a cloudy, traditional-style cider made in collaboration with McLaren Vale’s Chapel Hill Winery.

Head Brewer Jeff Wright has elected to use a combination of locally grown apples to create a crisp yet full flavour.

“We’ve used Pink Ladies, Granny Smiths, Golden Delicious and Fuji fruit, all from the surrounding Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula regions,” Jeff said.

“We wanted to create an apple cider that actually tastes like apples – it might sound obvious, but there are a lot of options on the market that don’t properly show that characteristic!

“Working with Bryn Richards from Chapel Hill Winery during the cider’s development has been an excellent process and the end product certainly benefits from having the input of a winemaker alongside our expert craft brewing team.”

McLaren Vale Beer Company and Chapel Hill have previously teamed up to produce Dr Pilkington’s Miracle Cider – a dry, clear cider which is nationally available in bottle.

Vale Cider is available on tap in SA, NSW, and VIC and will be available nationally throughout the coming months (in keg only at this stage).

The hotels in Adelaide with Vale Cider on tap from today are the Kings Hotel and Burger Theory. Further venues will be listed on The McLaren Vale Beer Company’s Facebook page.
