Beaminster is proud to be home to Isaac Cider.
Grown and produced on our third-generation family cider farm in Dorset.
Named in honour of our long-lost great uncle: Sir Isaac Newton.
It’s a cider made for getting together and cracking open a
bottle of the good stuff. And there’s not much more science to it than that!
