Cider Salon Chester

Welcome to Cider Salon Chester—a carefully curated celebration of some of the finest cider makers, the most exciting flavours, and the art and craft behind every bottle. 

Whether you love natural wine, craft beer, or simply discovering incredible drinks, this is your chance to explore a world of cider you never knew existed. 

“I think that cider is the world’s most misunderstood drink. In some nations, like the UK, the term is loaded with preconception and prejudice.” – Gabe Cook, The Ciderologist (as seen on Sunday Brunch) 

🍾 What to Expect 

✔ A carefully curated lineup of exceptional cider makers pouring their finest sharing bottles.
✔ Two tasting sessions (12pm-3pm & 4pm-7pm) where you’ll meet the makers, hear their stories, and taste ciders that redefine what you think cider can be.
✔ A bespoke Cider Salon Chester glass to take home + a welcome pour of a special Salon-exclusive cider, created in collaboration with (multi-award winning) Ross on Wye Cider & Perry Company & That Beer Place.
✔ Two talks per session featuring cider makers and industry experts.
✔ The option to buy bottles to collect later from That Beer Place via our Cider Concierge service, making take-home purchases effortless. 

🍎 This is cider, but not as you know it. 

If you’re a wine drinker, you’ll discover delicate, complex, terroir-driven ciders made with the same care as a fine Burgundy.
If you’re a beer drinker, you’ll find the wild fermentation, bottle conditioning, and depth of flavour you love in mixed fermentation ales.
If you just love exceptional drinks, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for one of the most sustainable, artisanal drinks in the world. 

This event follows the wildly successful Chester Craft Beer Expo, so you can trust us to bring you something truly special. 

Tickets include your glass, welcome cider, and access to the best selection of fine cider you’ll find anywhere in the UK.
