The slow fermentation in our cider captures the natural flavours and aromas with a fresh apple taste. In the New Year, this changes when the malolactic fermentation starts in Spring giving the final intense refreshing flavours.

Our aim is to create a traditional cider crafted and blended from 100% locally grown apples then slowly matured for a great taste.
In 2014 we decided to take a big step and bring our traditional crafted cider to the public in the form of Downham Tickle.
Downham Tickle was brought to life in the Railway Arms in 2013 with help from Ian the landlord who encouraged me to make more cider and Sophie my daughter who came up with the name. 2014 as
luck would have it was a very good year for apples, as we only make cider once a year in the Autumn when the apples have ripened.
We don’t use anything else in our cider. We simply press the apples and let wild yeasts do their work allowing the crisp, fresh and refreshing flavor develop.
