No alcohol cider - recommendations?
Aug. 30th, 2025 09:29 pmAny folks out there have good experience of no alcohol ciders? I'm going to have to stop drinking Aspall Draught Cider with my weekly pizza takeaway. The alcohol + big dinner combo is causing too many IBS type problems (sorry if TMI!). So I'd like to switch to preferably zero alcohol cider instead, that I can enjoy a pint of. Though not one that tastes just like fizzy apple juice. Any suggestions? The Aspall Draught that I usually drink is quite a light medium sparkling cider. Not like a strong Somerset or even scrumpy type cider. Any tips would be very gratefully received. Thanks folks! P.S. These would need to be things I could get easily in the UK, preferably in our local supermarket.
P.S. Martin got me a Thatchers Zero bottle to try for starters. I will be trying that next time around!

Not so keen on berry based ciders for this. But may give some a go. There should be some in our local supermarket.
I wouldn't touch Magners again with a barge pole, but Thatchers Zero is already waiting for me to try next weekend.
And amused to see the Newt cider on there. The Newt hotel/restaurant post dates Martin's time there, but is just a couple of miles from his childhood home in Somerset.
Thanks!
