Our Story
Brothers Cider was born in Somerset and raised in the fields of Glastonbury Festival. What started as a small bar serving pear cider to festival-goers in 1995 has grown into one of the UK’s best-known cider brands.
Still independent. Still family-rooted. Still made for good times.
We make cider.
We’ve been doing it our own way for a while now.
Rooted In SOmerset
Our family’s roots in cider go back generations around Shepton Mallet and the West Country. While Brothers itself began in 1995, the hands-on, independent approach has been passed down for a long time.
Making things properly, backing your own taste, and not overcomplicating it — those instincts didn’t start with us, and they’re still what guide how we work today.
Somerset Roots
The Showering family has been part of Somerset’s cider tradition for generations. Records of cider making in the region go back centuries - long before Brothers first appeared in festival fields.

Born In The Fields
Brothers as you know it today began at Glastonbury Festival in 1995. The Showering family started serving pear cider from a small bar on site, and festival-goers quickly took to something a little different from traditional cider.
The B-Bar soon became a fixture of the festival, and the energy of those fields - music, freedom and good times - has shaped the brand ever since
It's a Brothers thing
From Somerset orchards to festival fields, Brothers has always done things its own way.
We've Always Done Things Differently
While traditional cider stuck to familiar styles, Brothers leaned into bold fruit flavours. Toffee Apple to tropical blends, we’ve always believed cider should surprise you.
Those flavours helped bring fruit cider into the spotlight in the UK - proving that cider didn’t have to follow the old rules.
Flavour First
Our approach has always been simple: crisp apple cider blended with natural fruit flavours to create drinks that are refreshing, balanced and easy to enjoy.
From Raspberry & Lime to Pineapple & Passionfruit - everything starts with the same idea. Flavour comes first.
Still At Home In The Fields
Festivals are still part of our DNA. From Glastonbury to festivals across the UK, Brothers continues to show up wherever people come together for music, friends and good times.
