UWE Cider&Ales is made in the Betuwe, to be precise in the hamlet of Merm in Elst. There, Jan Westerlaken makes cider from apples from its own orchards. In 2009 the first English cider apple trees were planted at the farm. Cider making has now become one of the main businesses. The pressing, fermentation and bottling all take place on the farm. In 2018, a new orchard was planted in the form of a food forest in the Lingezegen park between Arnhem and Nijmegen. Hop plants, quinces and other ingredients for UWE ciders also grow there. In addition to apple cider and pear cider, UWE also makes Applebrandy (Dutch Calvados) and Pommeau. Since 2021, UWE Cider&Ales has been switching to organic.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
UWE AppleBrandy is made from cider of its own production. The bitter-sweet apples used for this cider come from our own orchard and are grown without the use of pesticides. After the cider has matured, it is distilled into 40% alcohol. This distillate is then aged in oak barrels to create the characteristic taste and color.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[992],"product_tag":[403,404,235,367],"class_list":{"0":"post-35505","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-geen-categorie","6":"product_tag-appelbrandy","7":"product_tag-bitter-zoete-appels","8":"product_tag-cider","9":"product_tag-uwe","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
