Thirst quenching apple cider. The ultimate in cut-through refreshment. The most famous cider on the planet. Strongbow\'s famous refreshment is characterised by its bittersweet, Herefordshire apples - sharp and tangy with lively effervescence and a crisp dryness. ### Product Description The history of STRONGBOW Cider might not be a long one, but it’s certainly impressive. Named after the nickname given to one of England’s greatest knights, Richard De Clare, ‘STRONGBOW’ was launched in the UK in 1960 by H.P. Bulmer. The dry cider quickly grew to become one of the most popular in the country. Yet STRONGBOW has remained true to its English roots – the cider is still brewed in the UK using fresh cider apples from Herefordshire. We know you’ll already be familiar with our brand – after all, the first pint of STRONGBOW Original was served over 50 years ago. However, there’s still plenty to learn. You can find out more about the history of STRONGBOW, our brewing process and the ciders below. BBE 30/11/21 Tasting Notes Apple store, cooking apple and oaky.
