WILD DRY CIDERS
Since 2022, Oud Beersel has been working with Vitalii Karvyha, the former Berryland cider maker from Ukraine, who had to flee the war. They put their skills together to produce cider on the wooden barrels at Oud Beersel. The proceeds from the sale of the cider should enable Vitalii to start up an activity again.
The cider is produced from McIntosh, Cortland and wild apples picked from an orchard more than 50 years old. The macerated apple juice is naturally fermented and bottled at Oud Beersel without pasteurisation or the addition of sulphites. This results in a wild dry cider, with almost no residual sugar.
