Welcome to 2018! We’re launching the new year with a new ‘news’ section on our website that we hope will keep our friends, followers and supporters up to date with what’s happening at Sheppy’s House of Cider.
It was a bumper year for the our team so here’s a whistle-stop tour of the major events that made 2017 such a vintage year for Sheppy’s…
April: the House of Cider relaunches...
After nearly 18 months of hard work we re-opened our doors to the public. Out brand new House of Cider Visitor Centre now hosts a farm shop, bar and restaurant. We're all very proud of the result.
May: the rebrand goes live...
In May we relaunched the 'new look' Sheppy's 500ml bottles and kegs and picked up a 'Best Branding' nomination at the Beer & Cider Marketing Awards shortly after.
June: Cloudy Cider hits the shelves...
We launched a brand new Original Cloudy Cider in 500ml and 50l keg in June which has gone from strength to strength ever since.
September: SheppyFest turns 2...
Over 4,000 happy cider fans joined us for our second SheppyFest. A great day was had by all and we hope to see you all again next September for more good music and great cider!
October: yes we can...
In October we launched two brand new 330ml cans, VAT 07 and VAT 14, in our first-ever foray in to canned ciders. The feedback from customers has been wonderful and we look forward to great things in 2018...
November: a very special edition indeed...
We were honoured to be awarded a silver at the Grocer Drink Awards for our 200 Special Edition cider. It's been a fantastic year for this cider in general and this was the icing on the cake!
