Stonewell Cider 0%

Soms vanwege principe of door omstandigheden is het beter geen alcohol te drinken. Eindelijk een ambachtelijke cider die de cidersmaak heeft weten te behouden: Stonewell 0% (33cl)

Geen appelsap met een bubbeltje wat sommigen gekscherend vermoeden, maar een volledig gerijpte cider waar later de alcohol middels osmose uitgehaald is. 

Uitleg van de makers:

Traditionally we’ve been an alcoholic beverage maker, namely cider. So in order for to us to produce a non-alcoholic beverage we’ve had to go back to the drawing board and return to our studies to find out what was the best way to square this circle. Instead of simply trying to make a concoction with fresh apple juice, we opted for the more complex route of removing alcohol from a normal cider.

We fermented a cider using typical bittersweet apples. Once fermented we then used a process of osmosis, or to be precise reverse osmosis to extract the alcohol from the cider. This leaves a lot of the characteristics created by the fermentation process but with the added bonus that there’s no alcohol. At this stage of the process the cider is still “dry” in other words contains no sweetness, so to finish off this blend we add a small amount of apple juice which broadens the mouthfeel and brings a delightful fresh fruit aroma.

Made and blended by us in Cork, Stonewell 0% is a refreshing alternative for all those looking to avoid the sickly sweet mocktails or fizzy rock shandys at a social occasion.
