Sharps Orchard Cider – Abbey Ales Hells Bells

Published at December 15, 2009 in cider pubs, orchards and products. Closed

Acclaimed Cornish brewery Sharp’s of Rock near Padstow has teamed up with Cornish Orchards to produce a cider for the UK market.

Orchard Cider is made from 100% local cider apples and is being trialled in selected outlets in Cornwall and Devon.

Joe Keohane, of Sharp’s, said: “Our introduction to Cornish Orchards was the Eden Project. We are incredibly proud of the cider produced as a result of this partnership.” Orchard Cider is the only draft cider available at local tourist attraction the Eden Project.

Sharp’s said there are plans to extend the distribution of Orchard Cider next year.

Another brewery, Bath’s Abbey Ales has launched Hell’s Bells, produced by the Tricky Cider Company, situated in the Blackdown Hills in Somerset.

Abbey Ales managing director Alan Morgan said of his company’s new product: “We will be offering it to our existing customers initially, and in our own pubs, the Star, the Coeur De Lion and The Assembly Inn.” Distribution will be extended later in the year.

Use Your Local Pub to receive Parcels

This seems like an idea that could be expanded with a little imagination, and turn some of our struggling local pubs into thriving centres of service for local communities.

Pint and parcels at the local pub

The UK’s Royal Mail makes some 40 million unsuccessful first-time delivery attempts per year, causing no end of hassle for the consumers waiting to receive those packages. At the same time, Britain is losing about 52 of its pubs per week to recession-induced closures. Taken together, those two statistics underlie the creation of UseYourLocal, a new service backed by British brewer Scottish & Newcastle that facilitates package delivery to the local pub.

Launched this spring, UseYourLocal aims to give consumers more reasons to visit their local pub, effectively helping to put the UK’s 90,000 pubs and clubs back at the heart of the community. For GBP 50 (plus VAT) per year, participating pubs get their own website—including an easy way to email news and special offers to local customers—along with the ability to receive customers’ package deliveries and a point-of-sale kit to help them register. Customers who sign up for the free service can then stay abreast of happenings in their favourite pubs as well as see who else has joined and send parcels to people at other registered outlets, with tracking along the way and email notification once their package has arrived. Perhaps best of all, of course, is that rather than waiting in line at the local postal sorting office to claim their undelivered packages, they can rediscover the charms of the local pub instead.

The company’s website explains: “At UseYourLocal we truly believe that local pubs and clubs can be a real force for good in our local villages, towns and cities and hope that this is just the first in a series of great ideas aimed at finding creative solutions to help breathe life back into local communities.”

More than 500 pubs across Britain have already signed up with UseYourLocal; how about bringing something similar to the local pubs in your neck of the woods…?

Which other services would be well suited to making use of the local pub as a place to drop in and kill several birds with one stone?

Tucked away behind the main bustle of Islington the Duke of Cambridge is a very busy pub with lots of young customers enjoying the organic baby food with their mothers. We sat outside and enjoyed the Luscombe valley cider. The Landlord wasn’t at all interested in Linda’s suggestion to get some Dunkerton’s in.

There were some problems with the image page which I haven’t got to the bottom of yet, but it was still possible to view the picture so I’ve uploaded a smaller version and also added it to the Flickr ukcider pool.
