Wildly Great Cider, Naturally...

Who we are

We’re Craig and Kayla Brooker, the husband-and-wife team behind Brooker’s Cider. Our journey began with a simple question: what could we create from the untamed apple trees growing all around us? So, we began experimenting, letting nature guide us, and we quickly realized just how special this path was. With the wild apples we found our direction to crafting distinctive, natural ciders that speak to the land they come from.

Our Philosophy

At Brooker’s Cider, we love to wander through the beauty of nature. Every batch of cider treads a different path, guided by wild apples, the growing seasons, and natural  fermentation. We don't chase consistency—we explore character. 

Our Process

Unlike most apples bred for beauty and sweetness, our wild apples may be ugly, but they hide an inner beauty: bold tannins, sharp acidity, and layers of complex flavours perfect for cidermaking. Harvesting only at peak ripeness, we wash, grind and press the apples only when they are ready. 

We then put the juice into barrels, where the long and slow fermentation takes place over many months. Our wild yeasts, living and growing on the fruit and all around us, spontaneously ferment the juice to dryness adding endless flavour variations.

Finally, our love of experimentation adds yet another layer of uniqueness to our ciders through different traditional cidermaking techniques. 

From us to you

As a truly small-batch, family-run cidery, we are proud to sell directly to you. By keeping things small and personal, we can focus on quality and creativity without the pressures of mass production. 

When you buy Brooker’s Cider, you know you are buying it from the people who harvested, pressed, bottled, and labeled every batch. A visit to Brooker’s Cider offers not just wildly great cider, but a memorable and meaningful visit with the makers.  

We hope you'll make the journey to meet us, taste our ciders, and enjoy the kind of unforgettable adventure that only a trip to the countryside can offer.
