Thatchers wins big at Australian Awards

 

Thatchers Gold has swept the board in the Australian Cider Awards.

The drink made by Thatchers Cider in Sandford, North Somerset, was not only awarded Best Cider, and Best International Cider, but went on to receive the top accolade, Best in Show.

It has only been available in Australia for a year.

The Australian Cider Awards are organised by Cider Australia, the national association of Cider and Perry growers and producers.

Managing Director of Thatchers Cider, Martin Thatcher, comments: “To hear this news has been fantastic for Thatchers in Australia.

“We’re still only in our first year of partnership with Coopers Brewery, who do an amazing job of distributing Thatchers Gold across Australia and introducing the brand to new consumers.

“Authentic Somerset cider is certainly in demand in Australia with a new generation of cider drinkers looking for heritage cider with great taste, able to discover Thatchers at events such as the popular Night Noodle Markets.”
