Hogan's Cider Independent Warwickshire c***ry, producing award winning West Country c***rs using 100% fresh pressed juice from local tannic-rich c***r apples.

Last week I asked whether the raspberry would take over. It doesn’t — and that’s exactly why this is now my favourite raspberry c***r.

Hogan’s High Sobriety Raspberry, ABV 0.5%, fresh-pressed apples with raspberries, and balance is the whole story here. Most red-fruit c***rs lean on sugar: you get the fruit up front, then a long sweet finish that flattens everything underneath it. This one keeps the apple base in play and lets the raspberry sit on top. A hint of sweetness rather than a wave of it.

It is a notch sweeter than the Original, Hogan’s call it medium rather than medium-dry, but it earns that notch. The fruit reads as fruit, not syrup.

So if you’ve written off red-fruit c***rs because they all taste too sweet, this is the one to come back on. Go and give it a go.

Original or Raspberry — which camp are you in?

With Harvest now in full swing, a few of us spent a beautiful morning in the orchard picking Perry Pears. There was a lot less fruit than last year, but we still got our hands on some deliciously sweet pears and others with a real acidic, tannic punch.

This 2026 vintage should taste pretty good once nature has done its thing and turned these resilient fruits into an extremely satisfying and classy wine-like tipple.

We handpick the fruit as they are too delicate to harvest mechanically and, once collected, all pears are swiftly pressed and transformed into our delicious Sparkling Perry (5.4%) or Lonely Partridge Still bag-in-box (5.8%). Floral, light, delicate with natural sweetness - delicious!

A beautiful morning in the orchard picking Perry pears, with the help of a very small Hogan!

We harvest by hand as the pears are too delicate to harvest mechanically - once collected all fruit is swiftly pressed and transformed into either our Sparkling Perry 500ml or Lonely Partridge Still bag-in-box (3 or 10 litre)

When did you last drink an alcohol-free c***r that finished dry?

Hogan’s High Sobriety, 0.5% ABV, made in Alcester, Warwickshire. No wall of sweetness papering over the gaps — just proper pressed-apple flavour, a bit of tannin, and a finish that actually stops. It drinks like c***r, not like a soft drink doing an impression of one.

Hogan’s naturally ferment it from fresh-pressed fruit rather than building it up from concentrate, which is why the apple character survives the low ABV.

Where it earns its place: the pub round, a Sunday roast, anywhere a lemonade would feel like a downgrade.

Next on the shelf — **High Sobriety Raspberry**. Same 0.5%, apples pressed with raspberries, a notch sweeter on paper. The question is whether it keeps the dryness that makes the Original work, or whether the fruit takes over. Testing it next week Tuesday.

THE ARCHIVE 🍎

A record of our past small batch, seasonal and one off releases, each fermented from 100% fresh pressed fruit at our Warwickshire c***ry!

Think of The Archive as our c***r hall of fame, a place to look back at some of the limited blends, experiments and special releases we’ve made over the years. Some may never return, others might inspire what comes next, but each has its own story.

Here are two from the archive… 👇

🍐 Breadboard #4 – Vintage Perry 2022 | 8.1%

A genuinely special expression of the 2022 Perry pear harvest, made from fruit hand picked by us and patiently bottle conditioned for around 18 months.

Naturally sparkling with a Ch*****ne like effervescence, refreshing acidity from Thorn pears and just a touch of natural sweetness. Wonderfully dry, incredibly more ish and one we were perhaps a little too keen to keep “quality checking” ourselves… 👀

A brilliant snapshot of the 2022 harvest and a release that thoroughly earned its place in The Archive.

And the good news? We still have a very limited number of bottles available now. 🍐

🍎 One Juice 2019 | 7.4%

One juice. Five c***r makers. Five completely different c***rs.

The One Juice Project brought together Hogan’s, Oliver’s, Ross on Wye, Little Pomona and Pilton, with each producer given 1,000 litres of exactly the same freshly pressed apple juice and complete freedom to make it their own.

The result was five completely different expressions, showing just how much fermentation, maturation and the individual hand of the c***r maker can shape the final c***r.

A fascinating experiment, a truly limited release and exactly the sort of c***r that earned its place in The Archive. 🍏
