Sneinton is fast earning a reputation for being one of the best pub and brewery crawls in the city. Cider fans will recognise the distinctive bottles of one of the area's best-kept secrets, the Sneinton Cider Company popping up in a handful of the local bars including Neon Raptor, Liquid Light and King Billy.
Although cider may be serious business, the Sneinton Cider Company has kept it local by taking a huge gamble to strip back supply. The six friends operate as a collective who brew 'for the love of what we do' rather than brewing for the sake of it.
Original founding members, JD Atkins and Badger Horsburgh started brewing and making their own ciders from foraged apples found in local allotments. It wasn't until a chance conversation with Jon Blyth, owner of the popular King Billy pub in Sneinton that they began to wonder if this could work on a larger scale.
