Road Trip from Pilton is an off-dry still cider featuring Tremlett's Bitter & Brown's Apple, grown in the south Somerset parish of Haselbury Plucknett. Fermented with the yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima which is used in winemaking, and aged partly in burgundy and in rum barrels. The label was drawn in 1916, as a fantasy journey, looking forward to a brave new world, after the First World War.
Pilton are artisan producers at the heart of Somerset's ‘cider-land’ making whole juice, sparkling cider by the old English method of keeving. Apples are collected from traditional cider orchards in and around the parish of Pilton, and slowly transformed from this full flavoured fruit into unique naturally sweet ciders. Finally, different yeasts and other fruits are weaved in and barrel‑aging techniques are used to create a variety of small batch drinks. Pilton Cider are based in Shepton Mallet.
