Red Brick Road Cider House

At Red Brick Road we handcraft ciders and perries, with only natural ingredients, based on traditional techniques with a twist of innovation and experimentation. As family cidermakers, we believe in real cider made from real fruit by real people. All of our ciders and perries are sugar-free, unpasteurised, unfiltered and made only from natural fermentation processes. This means that they are dry and cloudy and sometimes funky compared to many commercial ciders. But if you taste them, we think you’ll see that this minimalist approach means that you really taste the apples and pears we’ve used. They are blended and bottle-fermented with the same care as Tassie’s top sparkling wines so if you look you’ll find soft, creamy bubbles and a gentle yeast flavour that adds to all the fruit. We started Red Brick Road Cider in July 2014 over a glass or two of cider, a whole picking bin full of crazy ideas and not much else. Sort of the way we’ve started most of the fun things in our life. The name comes from the meme about the red brick road in the Wizard of Oz movie. We all know where the yellow brick road led, but if you look closely you’ll spy a red brick road spiralling off in a direction all of its own. We figured this was a fitting analogy for starting a new venture after an offer to make our previous cider brand commercially. Where does the red brick road go? What fun is to be found on the journey? We don’t know for sure but we’d love you to come on a real cider adventure with us. Join us for a free tasting of our latest ciders on tap, or join friends for a catch up over a board game. BYO food welcome, or see our staff for recommendations that can be delivered. Hosting stand-up comedy on the second Wednesday of the month and an Open Mic Night on the third Wednesday. We also have regular talks and tastings about cider, cidermaking and cider and food matching. See our website for more details.
