In Autumn 1985, Allen Hogan was introduced by John Stewart, a neighbour and early eco-warrior, to the art of cider making using locally harvested cider apples creating his very first batch of cider. Opening the barrel for the first taste in early Spring was an eagerly anticipated magical experience. The cider apple was transformed into a delicious and moreish drink.
Year after year he continued this tradition, perfecting the process until 12 years ago he plucked up the courage to take his cider to Stratford Farmers market. The feeling of pride when people handed over their hard earned cash for a cider Allen Hogan found was amazing. Made all the better when those same people returned time and again for more! Now at Hogan's they are exploiting the versatility of the cider apple to make what are some surprising, rewarding and sometimes challenging new ciders.
