Cider Made from Sussex Apples with Quality Closures: A Visit to Arundel Micro Brewery
Team COL recently visited Arundel Micro Brewery, founded in 1992 — the first brewery in town for 70 years. From the moment we arrived, the aroma of fermenting apples greeted us warmly and hinted at the craftsmanship waiting inside. Their proud mantra, “Armed with Taste,” truly comes alive in every glass of freshly crafted cider.
The Art of Brewing Sussex Cyder
The secret behind Arundel’s famous Sussex Cyder lies in the careful blend of seven local apple varieties. Each apple contributes its unique character, and together they create the perfect harmony of sweetness, tartness, and depth. As a result, every sip bursts with rich, fruity notes that linger just long enough to make you want another.
Moreover, the brewers’ year-round dedication ensures every batch reaches the ideal flavour balance. They handpick each variety at peak ripeness, ensuring the cider reflects the vibrant spirit of Sussex orchards. Consequently, the result is a drink that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in tradition.
Preserving Freshness with Quality Closures
Equally impressive is Arundel’s commitment to quality packaging. Every bottle is sealed using premium closures that protect the cider’s freshness from the brewery to your glass. Because of these closures, the flavour stays crisp, clean, and true to its origins.
In addition, these quality closures maintain carbonation and prevent spoilage, giving each sip the same handcrafted excellence as the moment it left the brewery. This attention to detail keeps Arundel’s cider tasting as vibrant and alive as the day it was made.
A Perfect Day for Cider Lovers
For anyone searching for cider made from Sussex apples with quality closures, Arundel Brewery belongs at the top of the must-visit list. Between the local ingredients, the masterful brewing process, and the precision sealing, every glass celebrates authentic English craft.
So, if you find yourself in Sussex, take a detour to Arundel. Enjoy the sunshine, savour the flavours, and toast to the artistry behind truly great cider. Team COL certainly did — and we can’t wait to go back.
