Kopparberg Pear Cider is headed down under!

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Kopparberg Pear Cider is due to hit our shores this July, so you can expect to see it shortly at your local bottle-shop.

Kopparberg Pear Cider comes all the way from Sweden where its origins can be traced back to 1882.  This cider is vat brewed and is fermented according to an old recipe using water sourced from the town of Kopparberg along with the finest quality pears available.  The result is a pear cider which has 4.5% alcohol, is light in colour and has a refreshing fruity taste.  Kopparberg is available in multiple sizes overseas, ranging from 330ml to 500ml bottles along with 330ml to 500ml cans.  You can expect to pay about $5 for a 500ml bottle when it is released here, but until then you’ll just have to imagine what this unique pear cider will taste like.

    Another cider for Aussies to chose from and ideally will be here before X-mas 2010. Last time I had a pear cider was in the UK… any idea of who is importing this?

    Hi Geoff, it’s good to hear from you again. I believe Barons Brewing is importing it into Australia.

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Is there a specific date know? and will it be released Australia wide more specific in Brisbane??

  4. Daniel says:

    Unfortunately there’s no specific date at this stage, but I will update when I find out.

  5. Kopparberg Pear Cider is now available at Dan Murphy’s, BWS and Woolworths Liqour stores nationally! RRP is $6 a bottle or a case for $54.99

    I called Dan Murphy’s, BWS and 1st Choice Liquor. They all sounded confident that they did not stock it and none of them could give an expected delivery date. I was calling NSW stores. Daniel, which state are you in, have your confirmed 100% that these places stock it.

    Cheers.

    I stumbled on this this by accident at Safeway liquor
    yesterday. Didn’t even know there was such a thing as pear cider.
    It was AMAZING! :) I also tried Magners pear cider too, but this
    one was better!
